Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is the fur collar removable?

Yes, the sheepskin fur collar is fully detachable, allowing 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 suppleness, avoid exposing it to excessive moisture. Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for delicate leathers like lambskin, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What is the fit like—true to size or should I size up?

The jacket has a tailored fit, so it’s best to refer to the size guide. If you prefer a slightly looser fit, consider sizing up, especially if you plan to layer it over thick jumpers.

Are the ribbed cuffs and waistband stretchy?
