: So what is the current opinion/evidence: was the original Raiders jacket constructed of thin lambskin or cowhide? I think whatever it was, it was very thin and "dry" as it takes those arm creases very easily. The Raiders jacket looks like it really has been worn for 20 years. The arm creases (inside elbow area) are outstanding. How do you do that to new leather? Which of the the cow or lamb acheive this look better/quicker? I am hearing different opinions here lately about what the original material was. Thanks,

: belloq

the original jackets were lambskin, but the leather that Peter currently offers that LOOKS closest to what was used on the film is the new finish cowhide. ALTHOUGH, I hear that he feels that his new goatskin offering is close too....speak with him about that!
Later y'all!
