Lambskin leather comes from young sheep, typically under one year old, making it one of the softest and most luxurious materials available. Unlike shearling, which retains the wool attached to the hide, lambskin leather undergoes a specialized tanning process where the fleece is removed, resulting in an incredibly supple and lightweight material.

The quality of lambskin depends on the age of the animal and the tanning methods used. Yves Salomon sources only the finest lambskins, ensuring each piece offers exceptional softness while maintaining durability. This real leather breathes naturally and develops a beautiful patina over time, making it ideal for luxury jackets and coats.

Lambskin leather stands apart from sherpa, which is a synthetic fabric designed to mimic natural materials. While sherpa offers affordability, genuine lambskin provides unmatched comfort, longevity, and the sophisticated elegance that defines luxury outerwear.
