Thoughts, opinions, suggestions wanted for my next Wested!

As far as hides go it's between a HH or a Veg-tanned Lamb (leaning more toward the veg-tanned lamb). Anyone have any Pros or Cons to share about these two hides? I do like the distressed look, but I'm looking for natural distressing this time around (my first Wested was a pre-distressed cow) which is why I'm leaning towards the lamb. Durability is also a big issue for me though, which also makes me lean toward the HH a bit. Seems like the lambs only Con is that they can be a little on the fragile side (from what I've read here anyway).
As for the other options:
So, anyone have any suggestions to this build? All opinions are welcome and appreciated!
As for the other options:
- I will probably be going for the 80's cut this time around. I'm 6'2" and on the slender side. My pre-distressed cow is a little "baggy" around the mid section.
X-Box stitching.
Chose D-Rings on my last one, I was thinking about getting Sliders this time. Thoughts?
Style? My pre-distressed cow is a LC. If I get the 80's cut should I opt for a different jacket style? Would Raiders or ToD be a better choice for the 80's cut?
Scalloped pocket flaps.
Two inside pockets. At least one to be zippered, possibly both.
So, anyone have any suggestions to this build? All opinions are welcome and appreciated!
