My choice is goatskin leather

Well, while he’s at it, he might as well add #8 to look like an 8-ball. That’s currently in fashion.

That color scheme + this fit = Fashion ICON level jacket.

This one looks pretty sweet for a bomber and it's in buffalo leather! Even though the URL says "cowhide-bomber" haha. Good job Schott! Also be careful with buffalo vs water buffalo

But it's also a great example of why I will probably never warm up to bomber jackets:

I have never handled any kind of buffalo (water or bison) but I love my goat skin A-2. It's practically water proof but also breathes easily enough to wear in hotter temps. It drapes beautifully. There is a reason the U.S. Navy chose goat for its leather.
Unless it specifically says "American bison", I always assume that anything marked "buffalo" is water buffalo. That's most certainly the case with the Schott you posted - "tanned in India" must mean this is water buffalo.
Call it a ball if you want, but personally I love the bloused look. Here's my goatskin A-2 from Lost Worlds after getting caught in a heavy downpour. I was bone dry under the jacket.
