Why We Use Lambskin Leather in Jackets

At Decrum, we’re not just in the business of making jackets—we craft experiences. Every detail we choose, from stitching to material, reflects our commitment to premium quality and timeless style. Among our most cherished materials is lambskin leather, renowned for its exceptional softness, lightweight feel, and elite fashion appeal.

In this blog, we reveal exactly why we use lambskin leather in many of our men’s and women’s leather jackets, and why it matters to discerning customers like you.

What Makes Lambskin Leather So Special?

Lambskin is derived from the hide of young sheep and is widely considered one of the finest leathers in the world. Unlike cowhide, which is dense and rugged, lambskin has a buttery-soft texture, making it a favorite among luxury fashion houses and style-conscious individuals alike.

At Decrum, we source only ethically tanned, high-grade lambskin to ensure each jacket feels as exquisite as it looks.
