Description
Shrunken lambskin leather is milled and drum shrunk after tanning, which tightens the fiber and lifts the surface into a fine, rounded pebble grain. The result is a skin with more body and more character than a flat garment lambskin – it holds a shape, hides handling marks in the grain, and still has the softness and drape lambskin is bought for. Hides run 5-7 square feet at 1.0-1.2 mm (2/3 oz.) and are stocked in Black, Brown, Rustic Brown, Sand, Gray, Off White and Insignia Blue.

Why Choose Shrunken Lambskin Leather
- Naturally shrunk pebble grain – the texture is milled into the hide, not embossed onto it
- More body than a plain lambskin, so panels stand up in a bag or a jacket front
- Raised grain disguises scuffs and everyday handling far better than a smooth skin
- 1.0-1.2 mm substance that still folds, skives and sews on a domestic machine
- Seven wearable shades – three browns, a sand, a gray, an off white and a deep blue – that work together in one collection

Ordering
Shrunken lambskin leather is sold by the hide. Because the grain is shrunk rather than printed, the depth of the pebble varies a little from skin to skin, and shade varies too – order all of one color together when a project has to match. For other lambskin weights and finishes browse our full Lambskin range, other Textured Lambskin, the rest of our Garment Leather, or our Smooth Leathers for a flat grain.
