Isn nappa the softest, and therefore best, leather available?
No skin can be described as the ‘best available’. It all depends on what that skin is to be used for, and what type of usage it will receive. Nappa is very soft, and the lamb nappa we use for our Clever Leather Skirt and Jacket is particularly tactile. However, as explained above, it is not suitable for fitted coats or jeans, for reasons of size and the degree to which it stretches. The softest skin we use is Japanese cowhide. This is a very expensive skin that has great fluidity about it, and, as it is a cowhide, can be used to great effect for fitted coats (see Superior Coat).
