Shearling
/ Sheepskin
Shearling
or sheepskin is soft and supple, it is lighter than fur, warmer than down and more
durable than cloth.
Shearling
is lambskin, it is a natural product that is subject to the variations and
vagaries that that implies along with warmth, luxury and performance.
The finished article is therefore one that has been manufactured with
great care and skill by a trained and experienced human operator at every
step of the process. Each shearling garment is individual in its
pattern and appearance. It will last for years - decades even with regular
care - and will be performing to its best long after conventional garments
have fallen by the wayside and been replaced.
Shearling is easy to care for, can be made into a huge
range of products and can offer the performance and advantages of fur
without actually being fur.
Each
skin, is unique to itself, manufacturing articles therefore requires
skilled selection, to ensure colour/ character match. Manufacturers
routinely use 30% - 50% of the skins that they purchase, any defects or
vagaries are eliminated by eye.
Manufacture
of articles from shearling is a painstaking and exacting process. Cutting
to shape using patterns is done by hand with a sharp knife. The sharpness
of the blade is often a matter of some pride and dexterity in
the trade, since the sharpness affects how effectively and safely one can
operate, a well "trained" cutting blade is a cherished personal
possession.
Traditionally
shearling is sewn together edge to edge using over-lockers. The
overlocking stitch needs to be watched since if the thread breaks, the
whole seam can unravel.

World's Finest Shearling Coat -

exactly what it says it is. Incredibly beautiful Delaine-Merino
shearling, tanned in Italy. The Delaine-Merino sheep has been bred in an
unbroken line for 1,200 years and is considered one of the finest-grade
wools in the world. The "wool" side is soft, silky, and
remarkably lush. The exterior is tanned for a soft, smooth, sueded finish. |
Shearling Icelandic Coat
- $1200
The outside is soft sueded
Icelandic lamb; the inside and the pockets are Icelandic shearling. These
sheep were brought to Iceland in the 9th Century by the Vikings as they
made their way to the shores of North America. The cold climate and long
Icelandic winters have produced a particularly thick fleece and hide.
Light brown. |

Over The Channel Shearling Parka
-
$1295
In this re-creation of the famous coats worn on missions over the English
Channel to Europe, we use genuine shearling for the greatest natural
insulation available. True to the original, this coat features a slightly
distressed, soft antique finish, leather patch pockets, a detachable hood,
warm stand-up collar, soft deep hand-warmer pockets, and toggle-style
buttons that are easy to manage even with gloves on. In brown. |
High Altitude Shearling Bomber Jacket
-
$995
As test pilots of the 1930s flew their planes higher in altitude and the air
grew colder, they relied on shearling jackets to keep them warm. Our
shearling bomber represents the warmest most insulated version made. The
deep pile insulates better than any other natural material to keep you warm
in the coldest weather. And its antique tumbled finish has a classic aged
look but an incredibly supple and soft hand. Hand-warmer pockets placed
right where you need them. In whiskey. |

remarkably thick and lush for incredible warmth and comfort. The exterior or
"hide" side is beautifully tanned and brushed for a soft, sueded finish. In
