Maybe it just me, but from the desktop and in that light that goat look 100% like an original USN jacket.
You are lucky to have this in your collection!
Nope you’re correct. This particular Mexican stuff J.C has, chrome tanned, aniline, thick, consistent scratch-like grain and soft, drapey but strong. It’s the most definite U.S.N leather I’ve come across and is identical to originals I’ve both seen and handled.

I’m on the main man’s list for an ANJ-3A and I’m thinking it’ll have to be the same goatskin again, it’s just magnificent!!
