Goat trim on a B3

Anyone ever seen a b-3 jacket with goatskin rather than horsehide facings?

I have to say I never have. wonder why?

also, Vintage b3's seem less bulky than modern high end repros, is that all attributable to moulting or were some produced thinner to start with?

I had a SAAD D-1 with goat trim- don't know about B-3s however.

HLB Corp used goatskin for the facings on their B-3 contracts.
