Yes, 100% lambskin leather. Not bonded leather, not faux leather, not split-grain. Lambskin is genuine hide sourced from the outer layer of the hide, which is why it's significantly softer and lighter than cowhide or full-grain leather. You'll notice the difference immediately when you put it on.

Cowhide is more durable and scratch-resistant, but it's heavier and takes longer to break in. Lambskin is lighter, softer from day one, and develops a subtle patina over time without the stiffness. For a relaxed, oversized bomber you'll wear constantly, lambskin is the better choice, it moves with you rather than against you.

The jacket is cut with an intentional oversized silhouette, roomier through the chest and shoulders to allow layering. Order your normal size to get the full oversized drape. If you prefer a fitted-oversized look with less volume through the body, size down one.

Most standard black leather jackets are slim or regular fit. The Black Badger is specifically designed with an oversized, relaxed cut, it has more room through the chest and arms, which makes it better suited for layering over heavier pieces like hoodies and knits. The full collar also adds more structure at the neckline than a standard ribbed collar.

The lambskin shell keeps it lighter than a cowhide jacket, which makes it more wearable across seasons. In spring and fall it works over a tee or thin layer. In winter it layers over a hoodie or midlayer. It's not insulated, so in extreme cold you'll want something substantial underneath but for three seasons it covers most weather comfortably.
