Fenland Sheepskin Of England
Fenland have gone on to produce some of the finest sheepskin products using modern and traditional craftsmentship methods whilst keeping to their reptutaion of using only sheepskin of pure natural origin.
What is sometimes described as the eccentricity of the british is, more often than not, no more than the stubborn unwillingness to compromise, a love of comfort, of quality, of the kinds of traditional materials tha improve with age – if this is eccentricity then the Fenland Company is more eccentric than most.
When you choose a Fenland you begin a long association with a garment designed to afford its wearer an uncommonly high degree of comfort, exemplary protection and unsurpassable performance.
What is Nubuck Leather?
Nubuck has a feel similar to suede but it’s more durable since it comes from the top grain of the hide.
To make nubuck leather, the outer (top-grain) layer of calfskin or cowhide is used. The top-grain layer is tougher and more resilient than the inner layer, which is used to make suede.
After the brushing or sanding process to give it the velvety feel and look, the nubuck leather can be dyed or stained to any color. It is soft to the touch and scratches easily. Rubbing the surface of the nubuck can make the color change as the direction of the short fibers changes. Sometimes nubuck can develop a patina with extended use.
