Actually a great question. I want to say veg now that I think of it - but with a pigment finish - very monotone, very WWII. I’ll have to ask John. Not sure if it’s still an option. Would definitely order the exact same model and leather again !

Yes veg tanned. Nick do you know if John has ever worked with a strict Chrome/pigment combo finish, like in the 40's?

I do not. But I’ve always wondered if it’s been possible to repurpose say an M-69 Transport Coat and make a new A-2 out of it.
It would be sacrilegious but I’ve wondered about it.

Yeah that would make a splendid goat A-2 for sure. Is there enough leather to make the sleeves in a M-69?
