Nice work. Love the G&F. Is the capeskin much different to lambskin?
Thanks! Capeskin in general is a bit stiffer and more durable than Lambskin, But still very soft. Much softer than Goatskin. Our Capeskin is chrome tanned like the original hides used. Chrome tanning provides a more durable surface. We tested our Capeskin with hot water treatments and even 3 trips through the tumble dryer at high heat. The jacket came out solid with no damage and some impressive grain development. It did shrink a bit but this was expected.

A big thank you to all that ordered jackets during our holiday sales events! The sales have ended and our jackets are back at the regular prices. Happy holidays to you all!
