When you visit the page for one of our products, be it a jacket, a skirt, or pants, you'll find the option to choose the type of material. This is a very common question, but the answer basically depends on two things: the fit you desire and the climate of the region or environment you frequent.
Here are the main differences:
Nappa (Goat Leather)
Nappa leather is globally renowned for its elegance and touch.
-
What it is: It is genuine goat leather.
-
Characteristics: It is extremely silky, lightweight, and has a distinctive drape ("fits like a glove"). It is much more pliable, easily molding to the body.
-
When to choose: Nappa leather is ideal for mid-season garments and for those living in places with milder temperatures. If you seek absolute comfort and a piece that doesn't feel heavy on the body, this is your choice.
Bovine Leather
The classic that never goes out of style, synonymous with resistance.
-
What it is: Bovine leather, treated for apparel.
-
Characteristics: It is a more structured material and a bit thicker than nappa leather. It gives the jacket a firmer appearance.
-
When to choose: It is the ideal leather for harsh winter garments. It protects more against wind and cold due to its thickness. If you like a jacket with a more "robust" and firm look, go for bovine.
Bonus: Leather for Motorcyclists
In addition to fashion options, we have a special availability for those who live on the road. We make jackets from a specific leather for motorcyclists (9-11 thread motorcycle leather). This is much thicker and heavier, entirely focused on protection and abrasion resistance.
Conclusion: There is no "better" or "worse," there is the ideal leather for your need!
-
Want lightness and softness? Nappa.
-
Want structure and protection for intense cold? Bovine Leather.
