Among the variety of benefits that owning a shearling coat offers, including fashion sense and price, shearling coats are also perfectly suited to all types of weather. Unlike most other types of coats and jackets made from animal fur, these coats possess all the qualities that allow them to be worn in most colder climates, from cold to very cold. It is for these reasons that shearling coats are considered a “best buy” among consumers.
Like other clothing made from animal fur, the main function of a shearling coat is to keep the wearer warm during the colder months, while looking great at the same time. But because shearling coats are made from sheepskin, they are thinner and lighter than other clothing made from fur and can be worn comfortably in relatively warmer temperatures.
How is this possible? Shearling coats and jackets contain an insulating lining and can “breathe” meaning they allow some exchange between air inside and outside the jacket. This means that, whether in hot or cold temperatures, the coats do not allow the temperature inside the jacket to go too far to one extreme or the other. In colder temperatures, the temperature inside the coat or jacket is warm, but not hot or stuffy; And in warmer temperatures, the material allows some airflow to keep the wearer cool.
You can tell what kind of coat suits different weather conditions by the length of the coat. Jackets and jacks that extend to the waist are intended to be worn during temperatures that can range from cool to warm, typically between 50 and 70 degrees. The longer the coat, the colder the climate for which it is intended.
Of course, where you live will influence the style of coat you’ll need. The higher the latitude (ie, the further north you are if you are above the equator, the further south you are if you are below the equator), the colder the winter months will be. That means the need for warmer coats. Be sure to buy a coat that matches the weather conditions in your area; otherwise you will be too hot or too cold in your shearling jacket if you haven’t bought the right coat.
Sheepskin coats and jackets owe most of their usefulness to their fineness and lightness. These qualities make these coats stand out from other garments made with fur. The coats are made from the highest quality sheepskin by professionals using hundreds of years of experience to create them. Most of these professionals are from Spain and South America, and have a history of making many different types of clothing from the material. The coats are made to withstand any weather condition while remaining flexible and strong, keeping the wearer comfortable at all times.
Along with the fashion and durability of the shearling coats, they are also a great buy, as the prices of these coats have remained stable for the past few years. For the shopper interested in finding clothing suitable for the colder temperatures that can also be in style outside of the winter months, shearling coats are a must-buy.
