Might be best to send Stu at Lost worlds an emai and ask him. He is very knowledgable and always happy to chat jackets and have a laugh.

Chrome tanned leather is fairly bog-standard stuff, I'm told, even from Horween. The CXL is the higher grade stuff.

On LW site, it says their chrome tanned horsehides are from their "own tannery" ...so I don't know if they have their own production tannery somewhere

I don't think he gets it from Horween since he's constantly whining about the CXL Aero uses being too oily.

I can't find the thread...but it was posted here (and,If I remember correctly,on Horween's site) a year or two ago that Lost Worlds does indeed get their HH from them..but the post also stated that LW hides require a different tanning process than Horween's normal CXL. This is quite apparent with the heavier finish mainly dyed all the way through and obvious stretch mark type graining in many of LW's jackets. I'm not sure that it has ever been determined or discussed whether it is actually full or top grain.
