Here are some links I’ve found on the Internet connected with beaver lamb (apart from coat sales). I’d be interested to hear of any other links you may have found, including details on the processes involved in preparing beaver lamb from the raw material. Also, please contact me if you know anything about beaver lamb that I haven’t included in this site.

from the International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemists Societies: Beaver lamb - "Sheep or lambskin with short fine wool, which has been dressed with the wool on, dyed and finished by a process giving a weather-resistant straightness and brightness to the wool."

another one - this time describing Mouton lamb - on a US trade site.

There are numerous similar trade sites that have almost identical definitions and descriptions, but none that describe the process in any detail. Please contact me if you know anything about this.

an advert in a US newspaper (the "Minneapolis Star"?) for "Beaver Lamb and Wombat Coats" from 1929. Interesting that this American advert refers to “Beaver Lamb”, rather than “Mouton”

"Cosy Corners in Depression and War" - Autobiography of Joan Hughes - "Mother said that when the war was over, she would buy some good clothes with her savings. She often mentioned that she would like a "beaver lamb" coat. This was a coat made of lambswool, dyed to look like a coat made of beaver fur."

Nothing to do with beaver lamb - Peter Pan collars - a site dedicated to my love of Peter Pan collars.
