Lambskin - Leather Blazer

Winter is here; and it is again that time of the year when a mélange of aromas, drafting off from every kitchen, makes everyone melt with gratification. It also happens to be the most happening fashion season of the year. Bring out the fashion icon in you this fall, with a slightly different panache. Instead of a cow hide jacket, sport a lambskin leather blazer and see how your friends can’t stop raving about your aesthetic sensibilities.
A lambskin leather blazer is a quality leather garment. If you are confused about what ‘quality’ implies, here are some basic features that are a good index.

Quality leather has the ability to remember certain things. I don’t mean remembering literally; but a quality leather garment will cast itself perfectly into the mould of the body structure. The thin, balmy fabric should be extremely pliant and allow for smooth draping and flow without creases or furrows. Lambskin satisfies all these requirements of high-end-fashion and is better than its bovine siblings in more ways than one. Their pliant warmth keeps you in snuggled comfort in the midst of the bitterest of all colds and their fit is unparalleled. They also have a long shelf life which is an additional advantage. All you need to do to reap its benefits for a long time is to follow some simple guidelines:
•Treat your lambskin leather blazer with a leather protector twice a year and most importantly, immediately after purchase. This retains the warmth for a long time.
•Be very careful when selecting conditioner for your lambskin leather blazer. Ensure that the polish is free of greasy or oily content, including mineral oil and petroleum. These heavy substances are unable to penetrate the fiber. Look for ingredients that are light and can diffuse easily into the fabric.
Another thing to avoid is a wax or silicon-based conditioner that chokes the leather pores. lexicol.com is a brand that you can rely on when searching for a good moisturizer.
•Ensure that the moisturizer is free of agents that cause discoloration. This is the main reason for discarding animal fats, such as mink oil, for this purpose. In spite of the fact that they are good conditioners, they tend to darken your lambskin and spoil your blazer.
•Lastly, when it comes to moisture and a lambskin leather blazer, you need to be extra cautious. If you accidentally wet your lambskin, don’t rinse it. Hang it in such a place that is away from all disturbances. Don’t move it around till it is fully dry.
•Lambskin has a tendency to stain from rain or snow; so keep an emery board or rubber suede eraser handy. Use them to wipe the blot delicately and don’t even think, of towel drying it. Make use of a branded protector for this job a couple of times a year. ITA should do just fine, as it can also be used on other types of leather.
