What is Wested's "brown lambskin" like?

The brown lambskin their most basic model comes in. Surprisingly, this is the most mysterious to me. I would assume because all internet active Indy fans order their jackets in a different leather. It looks good to me though. Is this the same as "authentic" brown lambskin? Is it super lightweight?

I've got a Wested ToD in brown lambskin. It is the most lightweight jacket I have, but somehow the leather is sturdier than the shrunken lamb. The shrunken lamb rips quite easily, but the lambskin is ok.

One think that is different than other hides, the lambskin is very shiny. This being said, I do like it a lot.

Cheers,
Bear
