Goat skin is common. CSMC sells it in black, and i beleive brown as well. Black is most commonly seen on leather faced pads. You can face 4-5 pads with the pieces they sell.
If your pad is good enough to just reface it, then great. Usually the pads are too deteriorated as well and need replacement as well.
Make aure your pad surface is good a clean anf smooth. Any imperfections will show through the leather. Barge cement (shoe glue) works great for attaching it.
