I guesse it depends what finish you want ... I have a number of "Full Grain" jackets which have a distinctly inconsistent finish and which show scarring and marks. Whereas I have a topgrain goatskin jacket which is possibly the nicest aged leather you could ever imagine and shows amazing graining and texture and which is one of my favourite jackets. I also have a sanded ( topgrain) steer nubuck jacket which is simply stunning.
Lets not get caught up on the top grain vs full grain discussion ... lets just enjoy the variety and supreme quality of the raw materials available to jacket makers and make no bones about it Shinki ( top grain or not) is AMAZING leather
