I’m not sure who originated the claim that the jacket was made by a French company, whether it was Noel Howard or Peter or someone else, but I would point out that in TOD, the ‘initial entry into the desolate village’ scene was filmed last during location shooting (using the Noel Howard – not made by Wested - jacket), while the ending ‘return to the restored village with the children’ scene was filmed first with a different jacket – with what appears to be much less smooth leather (possibly Wested.) That’s consistent with Peter’s assertion that later in the production they needed more jackets, beyond the ones he initially provided, so they sourced them elsewhere for convenience.
