But how do you react correctly if there is suddenly a stain on your new favorite jacket? In this blog post, our experts tell you how to react correctly and what you should not do under any circumstances.

Under no circumstances put it in the washing machine

Putting a sheepskin jacket in the washing machine is like trying to clean the Mona Lisa with an industrial vacuum cleaner. Even if the machine has a hand wash mode, the leather should never be put in the washing machine.

In the washing machine, the lambskin gets out of shape and the leather is removed from fat and suppleness. Incidentally, the same applies to normal dry cleaning. This process contributes significantly to the drying out of the leather.

Dried out leather and lambskin become brittle and tear! A natural product made from fur should only be cleaned by your furrier or fur specialist because the specialist will do it right!

First aid for stains on lambskin jackets

If you notice a small stain, you can first try to rub the stain with a damp cloth. You should only use this procedure for lambskin with a smooth and napped surface. You can also try to remove the stain by carefully rubbing leather on leather. However, you should absolutely avoid cleaning with water on suede or suede. By soaking in water, the stain can be fixed in the material and then only difficult or impossible to remove.

You can treat grease stains with talc, for example. To do this, sprinkle the talc over a large area on the stain and wait 24 hours. Then the fat is gone at this point and your lambskin is nice and clean again.

Sheep have been livestock for 10,000 years. Their wool was used for clothing even back then and sheepskins have been the most important fur supplier for 3,000 years. But why? Sheepskin is very hard-wearing when properly processed and is therefore well suited for the production of clothing. In contrast, the fur of the lambs is roughly equivalent, but it is even softer and warmer than the fur of the old sheep. In addition, lambskins are antibacterial, temperature regulating, and breathable. They are also durable due to their tear resistance.

But enough of the fur. The product should be in the foreground. Sheepskin jackets can be bought and combined in many different variations. They are available in different colors, lengths, and patterns.
