A while ago I made a post where I reviewed my 3/4 length goatskin Cheyenne.
This one to be more specific:
I don't know why but this jacket has gathered a lot of interest and during the last couple of weeks Aero were virtually flooded with requests for longer goatskin jackets. I have talked to Will yesterday and he asked me to post here that AERO cannot encourage any orders for a 3/4 length jacket in goatskin, especially in sizes bigger than 38.
Their tanner seems to have changed his source for goatskins (or the goats are smaller these days)... as a result the skins of the current batches are much smaller now. Although my jacket is only a size 38, the cutter at Aero struggled to find skins that had the correct size. Due to the fact that bigger skins have become quite scarce they are mainly reserved for one-piece backs of Aero A2s and M422as.
The best alternative for seal goat is seal jerky horsehide which is also a great choice of leather.
Thanks for looking.
