: : : : ok never mind i just realized what the difference is between the skin and hide, but now i just need to know what the one harrison ford wore, thanks

: : : According to Peter at Wested, lambskin. Regards. Michaelson

: : I asked Peter specifically "were the jackets lambhide or lambskin?" He told me they were lambskin and that there was no such thing as lambhide. Rather, "Hide" is the generic term, and lambskin is a type of hide.

: Not to dispute with Peter, but leather makers do indeed separate the difference between the two, that being basically the age of the animal which impacts the outcome of the tanned hide. Like I've said before, we have two tanneries located within 7 miles of where I'm sitting, and that came directly from their customer/marketing rep. Regards. Michaelson

I see. Thanks. So does Wested offer a "lamb hide" version? Several people's posts seem to indicate that they do but I wonder if these posts referring to "hide" jackets are just referring to the pre-distressed or cowhide versions, which are the only "hide" versions of the jacket I'm aware of, according to what Peter told me.

Cheers,
Abner
