: : I just saw the picture of the pre distressed Raiders jacket on Inygear. It looks very nice. I think Tim owns it, is it Lambskin or cowhide?
: : Also, is the zipper in the movies silver?
: : Regards

: It looks identical to my lamb hide Raiders - for predistressed, Peter uses a hide product from the lamb, as the shinier lambskin doesn't respond well to the predistressing process. If you choose the new finish, you get lambskin.
: Yes, the zipper in the movies is silver (nickle, actually) while the standard zipper you get from Peter is brass. The brass is actually higher quality, but Peter can do either.
:What is the difference between lambskin and lamb hide?
