Is it a Sheepskin or is it a Shearling? The warmest coat you will ever own

This isn't your average coat. Let's explore why the

Shearling coat is the best and most popular style on the market today.

First the number one question is what is the difference between a Sheepskin Coat and a Shearling coat or jacket? The short answer is shearling is the process of tanning and conditioning the skin of a shearling lamb with the fur still intact. The terms are often used interchangeably to describe both a sheepskin or a shearling coat or jacket. However, a shearling is only the hide of a lamb and a sheepskin is the hide of a sheep. Wool is on one side and Leather hide is on the other. Most times the hide side is exposed and the wool side is on the interior to provide optimal warmth.

By nature, Sheepskin coats are water-resistant and provide excellent protection from frigid winters and freezing wind chills. That doesn't mean to soak it however, because of the dense wool the water will not penetrate through. This makes both shearling and sheepskin coats, jackets and accessories very functional and durable. You can wear them in a light rain or on a snowy day and can be confident that your sheepskin coat will remain in perfect condition. Cleaning is also rather easy as you can spot clean without worry that the coat with blemish. For a full cleaning you should take it to a professional dry cleaner.

Because of its nature and functionality a genuine sheepskin or shearling coat can be rather expensive and this is due to several factors. The number one determining factor for the price of your coat is the quality of the hide. The most expensive articles are made from thinner leather and denser wool this makes the product lightweight but doesn't compromise the warmth of the item.
