Yes, this is pigskin as well, a very different look after being stretched. Oddly enough, the leathers look almost identical before being stretched. The veg tanned leather gives a much smoother finish. I'm fitting one up for a well known author and collector at the moment and he requested a smoother look. I try to please. I like the look of the veg tanned myself. The holes do not seem to show up the same way on the veg tanned leather.
