Does anyone else think the stock Lewis Leathers leather types look quite boring. Vegecow looks amazing, but a lot of the other stuff is very one dimensional imo

Their sheep is amazing and what they built the brand on. VegCow is a relatively new addition and also has the wow factor, but at a premium price. Going by the pics I’ve seen their horsehide looks a little meh, but that’s one I haven’t handled yet.

Do you know what leather is on all the stock photos on their website?
Thats the standard horse.
I am not the biggest fan, but the super shiny, super smooth leather creates the LL signature look.
I would probably go for veg tan if I wanted a black LL, but for the coloured variants, the leather works well, IMO.
As @Pandemic says, there’s absolutely nothing “meh” about the sheepskin.
My brother has the standard HH leather. Didn't convince me. The "want to have" feeling didn't materialise. Too stiff, too "plastic". Veg tanned sheep is great.

I bought a used but seemingly unworn Star Lightning in HH from Regius I wanna say....3 years ago?
I was smiling to myself just recently when I noticed it finally, FINALLY, has started showing creasing on the sleeves lol, despite having been in regular rotation for being worn along with a few other of my favorite jackets.

You need to take the tea-core TFL blinders off.
Like @Tom71 says the shiny hides (originally cow, now horse) and sheepskin hides are the signature LL look. The black veg tan looks nice but it's not really the LL look. Remember that these are designs of the late 50s at earliest, mostly of the 70s. They're more from the race bike world than from the design language of 30s workwear.

It’s not the lack of teacore that bothers me. It’s that the leather is extremely smooth looking with no grain. I haven’t handled it in person, so can’t say for sure, I’m just basing this off photos I’ve seen online
I said tea-core for humour. My point is that the TFL preference for graininess, matte texture, etc aren't really the aim with this leather nor a mark of it lacking in quality.
