Here's a question...

Does anybody know if the inside pocket(s) of a leather jacket (Flightsuits, Todd's, Wested, etc) is part of the jacket itself, or if it is actually part of the lining? Or is it part of both?

Meaning if you took out the lining of a jacket, would the inside pocket(s) still be on the jacket, or would that come off with the lining as well?

I wanna say that it's part of the lining.

Lining. C'est lining vie.

Yep. Inner pocket in the lining.

Always wondered about that, since I thought some people had previously mentioned that keeping heavy objects in their inner pockets caused the jacket to deform.

I know if you hang certain jackets like lambskin it will form indentations on the shoulders (stretching the leather?). Maybe its the same if you carry something heavy and/or bulky in the inside pocket of a lambskin.

Does ot mean that labskin tends to stretch over time? Which skins then aren't so much vulnerable to stretching?

I've found cowhide and goatskin do not seem to stretch out over use and time to date. Lambskin does stretch, but not so much to give you concern.

Deerskin, on the other hand, stretches like rubber....
