Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used and how does it feel?

Is the shearling collar removable and how is it attached?

Yes, the shearling collar is removable and attaches securely with hidden snaps. This allows you to adjust the jacket’s warmth and style depending on the weather or your preference.

How should I care for the lambskin leather to maintain its quality?

To preserve the leather, avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dirt and apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for lambskin to keep it supple. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally on a padded hanger.

What is the fit like and how does it differ from a slim or oversized cut?

The jacket has a structured, regular fit—neither too tight nor too loose. It’s designed to sit comfortably at the waist with a defined silhouette, offering a balance between a tailored and relaxed look.

Can the jacket be worn in warmer weather, or is it strictly for colder seasons?

While it’s ideal for autumn and winter due to its shearling collar and structured design, the lambskin leather is lightweight enough to be worn in milder weather if layered appropriately. The removable collar also allows for versatility across seasons.

What are the functional benefits of the rib-knit cuffs and waistband?

The rib-knit cuffs and waistband provide a snug fit, helping to retain warmth by preventing cold air from entering. They also add a structured finish to the jacket’s silhouette while ensuring flexibility and ease of movement.

How does the lambskin leather age over time?

Lambskin leather develops a rich patina with wear, softening further while gaining character. The natural oils in the leather help it adapt to your movements, making it uniquely yours over time. Minor scuffs or marks will blend into the leather’s evolving appearance.
