This is a brown goatskin that Mark Moye sized way too big for me that I gave to my son.

I don't have one (mine is steer, not the superheavy stuff), but I tuink it a good idea. Original 50s jackets of that style were much softer than the likes of fqhh; imo, goat would give it a more authentic drape. Noticeable in a boxy jacket.

Well, while one size smaller jacket would be ideal, this HWM looks pretty good on your son as it is, Fanch. IMHO, fitted jackets don't work very well on taller (larger) guys, same as boxier, larger designs is something shorter guys should avoid.
