Featured Cowhide / fur coat ID

Apologies if this offends but I need to know what this is to decide if I am offended too
Google lens suggests pony or cow, I think cow as there aren’t many brindle horses around. I’m more suspicious of the cuffs and collar fluff though It is a big hide with no seams on the back.
It belongs to a family member so we need to decide what to do with it.
Putting aside the obvious, it’s a truly beautiful tactile coat and very good condition except for the bottom edge that needs restitching. The lining is Lambskin I believe.
So, answers on a postcard as to what it is and what to do with it please?

 

It really is. It’s so soft and shiny! It deserves to be worn and if it’s cow it’s no worse than a leather jacket I suppose!

Oh that’s very similar, maybe it is horse! Thankyou @komokwa

 

Maybe not as rare as I thought although pretty unheard of in the UK.

Far more likely IMO to be brindle hair calf than pony skin. One is common-it’s literally cow leather except the hair isn’t removed. The other will offend some if selling. Unless brought to a zoo I’d assume it’s haircalf.

 

i aint seen anything remotely

looks very well made indeed

the sheepskin lining is unusal as well on a fur

 

Wonder if it could be goat w a shearling lining.

I guess it's possible.........but..

 

Good thought but the back is all one piece, do goats get that big?

 

I’m still thinking haircalf with a shearling lining.

 

Not my cup of tea but I do like a good ribeye steak.

 

Pretty coat, but all I can think is it looks a little too much like a friend's pittie for comfort. (american pit bull doggie. )

 

Not exactly my thing either, but I bet it looks pretty stunning on.

So no tags, no labels?

 

I remember them being called foal coats overhere. It is beautiful.

 

No nothing I can find unfortunately.

Foal?! I hope not If it is, it was a beautiful foal…..

Shouldn’t laugh but
