The leather used in clothes is usually chrome tanned and tumbled until it is soft. We call this Garment Leather. In the case of leather jackets, they often use a thicker Chap Leather. You can strengthen it by gluing a strong lining onto the flesh side. The lining could be heavy cloth, or another layer of the same leather, or a denser type of leather. For instance, belts and holsters are made with vegetable tanned "carving" leather than is dense. This leather can be shaped and stamped and it holds its shape and any impressions. Chrome tanned leathers do not hold a shape or take tooling impressions.

If you need more assistance, join the forum and repost your question in the All About Leather forum, (or just read the topics in that forum).

There are Leather Manufacturers Associations and Chambers of Commerce ( whose members include very many of the leather manufacturers and tanneries ) in both Lahore and Sialkot..( Pakistan ) where there are many manufacturers using soft ( chrome tan ) leather to make garments..Cow, Buffalo, Goat, Sheep..up to 3mm or 4mm ( a few use thicker leather )..There are a smaller number of them who use veg tan..There are many more tanneries in Pakistan and in Bangladesh who produce Chrome tan, than there are who produce Veg tan.
You would be able to ask them for information in English or Urdu , or Punjabi. I hope that helps :)
