1. Materials Guide

About to choose your new leather jacket but not sure where to start? There are many different hides: sheep, goat, cow, buffalo or pig, and each has its own characteristics. Some are preferred for summer, others for winter. Some are naturally supple, while others are stiff and hard-wearing. What's more, sheepskin is not cared for in the same way as oiled buffalo leather, for example. So make the right choice and discover all the characteristics of our materials by clicking below!

3. How to tell genuine leather from faux leather?

When you are looking at two new jackets, and without being an expert, it is not always easy to tell genuine leather from faux leather. Faux leather makers imitate hides better and better, but it is above all over time that leather, a living material, gains all its charm and proves its durability. That said, with a little knowledge no one will fool you, and in just a few minutes you will be able to tell whether it is real leather or faux leather. Jean-Baptiste shares some age-old tips!

4. How to tell real fur from faux fur?

As with faux leather, faux fur makers are getting better and better at imitating natural fur. Even so, with our little tips you can still tell the two apart! Fur behaves differently when you blow on it or handle it. The base the fur is attached to is also different: on one side it is a textile base, on the other a real hide. With this animated video tutorial by Jean-Baptiste, you will have everything you need to tell real fur from a synthetic model.
