Doesn't that speak well for the goatskin then? If the goatskin leather is wearing fine, then I'd have thought its a recommendation for goat.

Grant said:In my experience goatskin has stood the test of time far better than horsehide. I've seen way more goatskin A-2s in better condition with less dryness and cracking than horsehide. Also, the leather used for WWII USN jackets across the board are superior to the horsehide used for A-2s. Just my observation.
