Goatskin. What's the skinny?

Goat is supposed to be one of the most abrasion-resistant hides, which is why some like it for an mc for the warmer weather. I've owned a few jackets in goat: one A2, one AN6552 - both Aero - and one Wested Raiders. That A2 gets worn a lot - my ELC (horse) no longer does. The goat does stay 'tidy' looking longer; as Peacoat notes, if you want a jacket that shows real break in, goat won't do it, but it does look and feel great. It's noe of my favourites. The new veg-tanned goat Aero have is fantastic stuff - had I not seen the Horween Bison, that's what my Dustbowl would have been. I already have my eye on a couple of jackets in that goat in the future.
That Horween Bison is incredible stuff!!
