Lambskin

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
lambskin
1. the skin of a lamb, esp with the wool still on
2. a cotton or woollen fabric resembling this skin
Lambskin 

the skin of a lamb of a coarse-fleeced breed of sheep (excluding astrakhan sheep) that has died or been killed before the age of two weeks. The hair on a lambskin forms cylindrical, bean-shaped, and ring-shaped curls of large to small sizes, and there are transitions to straight hair. Lambskin is considerably inferior to karakul and other astrakhan skins in quality of fur and the flesh side of the hide. It is used to make collars, hats, and coats.

The foremost, wearing a Cossack cloak and lambskin cap and riding a white horse, was Prince Bagration.
War and Peace by Tolstoy, Leo View in context
No vair or ermine decked this garment; but in respect of his age, the Grand Master, as permitted by the rules, wore his doublet lined and trimmed with the softest lambskin, dressed with the wool outwards, which was the nearest approach he could regularly make to the use of fur, then the greatest luxury of dress.
