Video: Old Goat (hide) round-up. Actually a herd of Goats.

These two videos are a bit longer. I herded up the Goatskins, Goathides from all over the house.

The M-422a you have there I think is an H.L Block. Best way to check is have a look at the air holes perforated on the underarm guessed. If they're stitched not metal riveted, it's a Block.

A friend gave me his take, but I don't remember what he said.

Very nice, why don't you give real names to the videos on youtube? You would get far more hits and allow people who google these jackets to find the videos!

Thanks for watching them! You are correct about the names. I had an issue with a couple of comments. I will name them.

Got them done, thanks!

This Goat just joined the herd, Straight from Hollywood 1937. I'll do some better pics.

I love these TM. It's really nice to see how the jackets move. Gives a much better feel for a hide than pics. Very timely for me. Thanks for posting!

sigh, now I can give up my hope to ever see any visible permanent bold creases on my goat jacket.
very nice texture though

My latest Goatskin for the herd. 1940s Sears Hercules. I owned another Goat from Block Bilt that used the same Goatskin, same color/feel. I have seen another Goatskin Block that looked very similar. I would guess Block made this jacket for Sears. Fits me like a 46. It is difficult to find a 44, let alone a 46. It needs a few stitches, but wearable as is. I wore it out today.
