I am waiting for my G&B catalog. I am considering getting a jacket.
Regarding deerskin gloves and "lambskin" condoms...
I wear deerskin gloves for working around my place cutting wood, etc. They are not nearly as rugged as cowhide or pigskin, particularly when wet. And they are not very abrasion-resistant either. In fact, the label on the brand that I buy suggests that they aren't suitable for heavy work where abrasion is part of the equation. I usually get one year out of a pair of deerskin gloves and then they need to be replaced.
So why do I buy deerskin? Because they are the most comfortable, supple work gloves that I have found. Typical cowhide and pigskin are simply too stiff with a tendency to produce blisters due to the internal seams. (Hey, I'm a Sensitive Male with delicate hands!)
"Lambskin" condoms are not made from lambskin; they are made from a natural "pouch" (appendix?) found in sheep intestines. When I used them they were infinitely superior to latex and latex-free condoms when it comes to sensitivity. It feels like you aren't even wearing a condom. But since the natural membrane is porous enough for viruses to penetrate they offer no protection against STDs.
