Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fur is used for the collar?

The collar is made from genuine shearling, a type of sheepskin that retains its natural wool for warmth and a classic aviator look.

How does sheepskin leather age over time?

Sheepskin leather develops a rich patina with wear, softening further while maintaining its durability. The natural oils in the leather help it resist cracking, making it more supple with age.

Is the bomber style suitable for layering in colder weather?

Yes, the regular cut and roomy fit allow for easy layering over jumpers or thick knits, while the shearling collar provides additional insulation.

What thickness is the sheepskin leather?

The leather is approximately 1.2–1.4mm thick, offering a balance between lightweight comfort and durability for year-round wear.

How should I care for the shearling collar to maintain its appearance?

Avoid exposing the collar to prolonged moisture or direct heat. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and store it in a breathable garment bag when not in use.

Does the tortoise colour fade with exposure to sunlight?

The dye used in the tortoise finish is designed to resist fading, but like all natural leathers, prolonged sun exposure may gradually soften the colour over time.
