Description
Stretch lambskin is a full-grain nappa hide with real give in it – the skin is finished so it yields and recovers rather than staying flat like a standard lambskin. That is what makes it the choice for anything that has to fit close to the body: a glove, a fitted sleeve, a shoe upper over a last. It is drum dyed through with a soft matte finish. Hides run 4-7 square feet at 1.5 oz., stocked in eleven colors including Black, White, Gardenia, Chocolate, Rustic Brown, Deep Red, Navy Blue, Polo Green and Purple Velvet.
Why Choose Stretch Lambskin
- Genuine stretch and recovery – it moves with the body and returns to shape
- Full-grain surface with the fine grain and soft matte hand of a good nappa
- Drum dyed through, so cut edges and skived areas hold the same color
- Light 1.5 oz. substance that skives thin and sews on a domestic machine
- Eleven colors, from quiet neutrals through to Deep Red and Purple Velvet
Best Uses for Stretch Lambskin
- Gloves – the classic use, where stretch and recovery matter most
- Close-fitting garments, sleeves, panels and bodices
- Shoe uppers and footwear that must pull over a last
- Hats, headbands and fitted accessories
- Small goods and trim where a little give helps a wrap or a fold

Ordering
Stretch lambskin is sold by the hide. The stretch runs more in one direction than the other, so test a scrap before cutting and lay the pattern so the give goes where the garment needs it – across the hand on a glove, around the body on a sleeve. Back any panel that must not move. Order all of one color together when a project has to match. For lambskin without the give see our full Lambskin range and Garment Leather, or browse the rest of our Stretch Lambskin.
