Good explanation. Can you tell me what is done to make a COW's hide "lambskin finish?"
Curious Gregg

: 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
