: Did anybody ever really find out what kind of leather the LC wested was made out of? I remember getting so confused with lamb skin v lamd hide and then somebody said lamb hide didnt exist. Did anybody ever figure that one out?

: Matt

As I understand it the difference lies in the age of the animal
used. Grown animals supply supply 'hide', young ones supply 'skin'.
Therefore, there can be no lamb hide, but only skin.
Also, Peter stated that the leather is napa leather. That's a process
that traditionally involves tawing the skins with a soap-and-oil
mixture... Napa leather is very popular for gloves due to its soft-
ness. Did that help? Fall Guy
