How right you are Willow...I used to sell belts of different qualities and it depends where the leather is cut from in the hide..The only leather for belts comes from the hides of cattle, unless the customer stipulates snakeskin or the like. Most belts and leather saddles are made from cattle hides...there is no difference apart from customer preference if the product is made from the hide of a cow or a bull.

I actually have some different animal hides and can confirm that different parts of those have different flexibility qualities.

The point I was trying to make was that if you buy a jacket that is described as being made of hide it will have more than likely come from a cow or bull.If however it's described as leather it is likely to have come from a sheep or even a goat.:o
