: After much confusion and misinformation (all unintentional I believe) Peter did confirm that all jackets he made for the trilogy were 100% new finish lambskin. Any and all distressing visible on screen was the handy work of the likes of Mr. Noel Howard, with his sandpaper, brick wall, and boot polish.

: The "napa" you can get from Wested (the predistressed jacket with the dryer and pebble treatment) is a soft, lamb-finished cowhide. While the material is not authentic to what is used in the movies, it looks good and has a more substantial weight to it. If I could only have one Wested, I would go with the lambskin. The cowhide is great if you plan on a second.

: IMHO

I'm sure that I have the lambskin, but Peter did write "napa" on the
orders. Maybe they use the term "napa" for any leather that RESEMBLES
napa leather? BTW, do you know if Wested's supplier uses an aniline
dye? Also, what is the cowhide with a lambskin finish made out of? Is
it a laminate? Fall Guy
