Hi, Baldwyn,

I don't know why, but you look like someone I knew. Where are you? BTW, I just ordered a FS lambskin at FS in person, since I think goat is really hard too me. Some how the goat looks softer and nice on you. Maybe I should change my order. Is yours in tall or reqular size? Is it in dark brown or seal brown?

Best,

Azuma
