FAQs

What is 'lamb nappa' leather?

Lamb nappa refers to leather made from lambskin that has been processed to achieve a smooth, fine-grained surface with a buttery softness. It's often used for high-quality garments and accessories.

How do I know if this blouson will fit me?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, usually available on the product page or the brand's official website. Consider your chest and sleeve measurements for the best fit.

Can I wear this blouson in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear fine leather garments like this blouson in heavy rain. While a leather protector can offer some water resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather.

What does 'Essentials selection' mean?

The 'Essentials' collection signifies pieces with timeless style, clean shapes, and versatility, designed to be core wardrobe items suitable for any season and easily integrated into various looks.

Is this blouson suitable for winter?

As a blouson, it provides a good outer layer for mild to cool weather. For colder winter conditions, it is best layered over warmer clothing such as sweaters or thermal base layers.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on your climate and usage. Typically, conditioning once or twice a year, or when the leather starts to feel dry, is sufficient. Always use a product specifically for fine leather.

What is the Neapolitan glove treatment?

It refers to a traditional method used in Naples, Italy, for treating leather, particularly for gloves, resulting in exceptional softness and a supple feel. This blouson uses a similar refined technique.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a specialized leather conditioner designed for fine lambskin. Ensure the product is tested on an inconspicuous area first.

Minor scuffs or scratches on the surface

For very light scuffs, a specialized leather balm or cream might help to buff them out. For deeper marks, professional leather repair is advised.

Garment loses shape

Ensure the blouson is stored properly on a suitable hanger and avoid overcrowding your closet. Follow recommended storage guidelines.

Discoloration from sun exposure

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, professional restoration may be necessary.
