Need help with identifying skin...

[Dany McDonald]

Hello,

I am not sure if this is goat or horse/cow. Could it be very, vey pebbly horse or its goat and that's it!
I tend toward goat but am uncertain.

Thanx for your help.

I am asking because it's a No name "Cable" W535-AC-27753 I am spotting and according to Gary's book no goat was used for that contract when he wrote it.
It could be a deal breaker for me...

That's not Goat 100%.
It's cow or horse I would say.

 

[Nickb123]

Badalassi cow?

 

[Tattoo A2]

Doesnt look like goat to me, and unfortunately, we cant ask the horse or cow if its them anymore.

 

[mulceber]

Looks like cow to me.

 

[Dany McDonald]

Thank you all for your opinion, it's really appreciated!

not to sure about that, due to the consistency of the hide patterns. more pix would help, but I lean towards goat.

also, dany, I would not put too much stock in the cable raincoats labels, as from my experience, in wwll cable used goat, moo, and hh in all three contracts...almost interchangeably. 10008-p in goat as specified, but some were made of hh or cow. no name cables in any of the the above, ditto the first contract, but less so.

Victor thank you for pointing that out. I've concluded the same with zippers, you will find more makers than what is directed in G's book on one contract. Still a great book to reference, a bible in some way.
JC will also list leather types he observed on originals on his site that would be missing from the bible.

I find the surface to be very noisy and dense with pebble, hence why I concluded for goat.

But the underside of the pocket flap looks like horse/cow.

Check out the veins though. Goat doesn't have that. Plus the "pebbles" look pretty big. That's how it appears to me in the photos anyway.

and, yes, zippers too.

Also a good point Jay.

As long as it's not 'couch' or...'Sofa'

I don’t think that’s goat. Looks a lot like the horse my Aero Highwayman is made from.

Dany, look like horse, aged nearly or over 10 years.

The color of the leather in the second photo in the OP looks really beautiful.
