It's cause you don't paint on leather, Burt
Vera is right - often goatskin has small "jack-stone" texture and small details are more difficult to draw. I ran into this when I drew camels on my A2 AVI. Therefore, I always use a piece of smooth cowhide for patches.

Your right Dmitry … you guys are absolutely some of the most artistically talented people I know. It’s great to watch you create some of the art work that you guys and women do .It's cause you don't paint on leather, Burt

Hahah enjoy it! Too hot here in Canada for any jackets!
Even an L-2 might be too much!
T shirts only!

Love a raiders jacket. Didn’t know you had one. The leather on BK version is brilliant.

Yes, that is true. The material is more durable on the matte version. It will be interesting to see the how it reacts after being exposed to rain.

It was my first fancy leather jacket. From there it was a quick slide into buying A-2 jackets, looking at originals, comparing contracts, and all the other hijinks we get up to around here.

I can 100% attest to the durability of the matte version's stitching.
I've put both the shiny and matte versions in the washing machine and the shiny CWU's stitching will simply disappear. In contrast, the matte version's stitching remains strong after being put through the wringer.
In addition to its robustness, there is simply more stitching on the matte version resulting in the stitching being more reinforced throughout.
As for rain, rain leaves no watermarks on the matte material (as opposed to the shiny).
Neither are waterproof, however!
