Looking at getting one in calfskin from Pop's, rather than the goatskin Perrone. Wondering if I need to opt for their grainy calfskin so as to match the "approved" Perrone one.
Thanks, much appreciated.
FYI, I have a Pops calfskin at my airline and wear it side by side with out guys who have the grainy Perrone. The difference is negligible and cant imagine any airline requiring the same "grainy" or "smooth" on their jackets.
FWIW, I feel the Pops is a much better product. Besides the fact Pops is custom made to your size, I have heard horror stories on the turn around time for a Perrone jacket..months. My Pops was made and sent in a week.
