: The lamb will probably meet the needs/expectations of more fans than not. My preference for the goat stems from two personal things: 1.) the desire to be able to put this in harms way, ala camping/hiking/chasing a 3 and 8 year old whenever we may travel, and 2.) the absolutely erie resemblance in color and grain this has to a jacket I saw in the flesh - you get some hints of that throughout scenes in Raiders, but how does one communicate that to others who were not there?

: If you're going to wear your jackets casually and cherish them by protecting them from that much-talked-about nailhead - lamb is for you. If your definition of cherish is to wear it, and wear it, and wear it, and to put it through a life that will result in having a jacket in 1, 5, 10, 20, 30 years that looks more and more "Indyish", then I'd say go for lamb. I've never been one to take sandpaper to a jacket, but I have taken my share of spills on loose soil and rock on backcountry hikes. Now THAT will add character to a jacket - and black and blue to one's backside.
