The Guide to Nour Hammour Shearling Coats and Jackets

A Nour Hammour shearling coat is cut from 100% lambskin shearling by the Paris house founded in 2013, and on Coveti the shearling coats and jackets run from $2,650 to $5,660. The blanket and robe coats are designed for an oversized fit, and the brand advises sizing down for a closer line. The cropped jackets and the tailored Grace and Blaise in Brown Sable fit true to size.

What is shearling, and what do Toscana and merinos mean?

Shearling is a sheepskin tanned with the wool still attached. Skin and fleece are one piece, so the warmth comes from the pelt itself. Nour Hammour works in lambskin shearling, the finer and lighter grade, and every coat in this guide is listed as 100% lambskin shearling.

The house names its shearlings by finish. Toscana is a long-haired shearling with a deep, plush pile, used on the collar and cuffs of the Sima and through the body of the Blaise. Merinos shearling comes from merino sheep, whose wool is fine and dense; the Grace is cut from it. Other styles play with surface: a marbled astrakhan finish on the Paloma and prints on the Raquel and the Nina.

How does a reversible, robe and blanket coat differ?

A blanket coat is cut wide and unstructured, so it wraps the body like a throw. The Birthday Coat in Brown Black ($2,940) is the house’s signature version. It is reversible, closes with a discreet crochet closure and has hidden pockets. The Dorian in Black ($3,920) is the same idea in a different key: one face is a silky matte finish, the other is plush shearling, and a single hook does up the front. The product copy calls it remarkably light.

A robe coat borrows the line of a dressing gown. The Raquel in Black ($2,960) is knee length and relaxed, with a supple leather-lined interior that gives the body substance. The same shape comes in print as the Raquel in Plush Leopard ($2,960), which is the answer to anyone searching for a Nour Hammour leopard coat.

A reversible coat has two finished faces, so you get two looks from one pelt. In this edit, the Birthday Coat and the Dorian are the reversible pieces.

Nour Hammour shearling coats compared

Twelve styles, all lambskin shearling, with the fit note the brand publishes for each one.

What is the Nour Hammour Joni coat?

The Joni is one of the most searched Nour Hammour coats. It is a mid-length wrap coat in velvety shearling, trimmed in Toscana at the collar and cuffs. The collar is generous and the coat falls softly from the shoulder, with a self-tie belt that closes the wrap at the waist. Coveti carries the Joni Midlength Feminine Shearling Coat at $3,239. It suits anyone who wants the warmth of a full shearling coat in a length that clears the knee and works over tailoring.

The Sima, the Blaise and the Grace: the tailored end

The Sima is the house at full volume. The Sima in Rich Brown ($5,390) uses Toscana at the collar and cuffs, and its silhouette is built on sweeping scale. For the same Toscana framing in a shorter body, the Sima Midi in Rich Brown ($3,580) keeps the generous sleeves and drops to midi length. Both are cut oversized.

The Blaise in Brown Sable ($3,920) is quieter. It has a subtle stand collar, concealed snaps and a self-tie belt you can pull as tight as the day requires. Note that the Blaise in Crème Brûlée carries a different fit note (oversized), so check the page for the colour you choose.

The Grace in Black Merinos ($3,920) is the closest to a classic town coat. The line is elongated and settles close to the body, with a loose self-tie belt at the waist. The Paloma in Black Astrakhan ($3,120) sits alongside it: strong shoulders, a softly tailored body, tonal buttons and a silk inner sleeve that makes it easy to pull over knitwear.

Nour Hammour shearling jackets

For a shorter layer, three jackets do most of the work. The Cameron in Burnt Toffee ($2,720) is cropped, with soft fullness in the sleeves and gilded snap closures. The Mira in Natural Honey ($2,650) is cropped close and densely plush, with a standing collar and a hook closure; it works over an evening dress as well as over denim. The Cortina in Greige Mink ($2,650) is a voluminous bomber with an apres-ski edge, elastic at the waist and cuffs, and a metal zip.

The Cameron and the Mira fit true to size. The Cortina is oversized by design, so size down for something closer.

The fur coat question: prints and texture

People searching for a Nour Hammour fur coat usually mean the shearling coats, which Coveti files under fur coats. They are sheepskin with the wool left on. The most graphic of them is the Nina in Golden Tiger ($5,660), a car coat that falls from draped shoulders into a swing shape. Its dramatic collar can be removed for a quieter line. The Raquel in Plush Leopard is the other print.

Warmth versus weight

Shearling is warm because the fleece traps air against the body, and a longer pile traps more of it. Coverage matters too: a knee-length robe coat covers more of you than a cropped jacket.

Weight is where the styles differ. The product copy describes the Davos in Mink Toffee ($2,960) as having an almost weightless feel, and the Dorian as remarkably light. At the other end, the Sima and the Blaise in Toscana are described in terms of volume and heirloom weight.

Which coat for which climate and city?

There are no temperature ratings here. What we can offer is practical guidance based on length, pile and weight.

For a long winter and a lot of walking, choose length and pile. The Sima, the Sima Midi and the Raquel cover the most body. For a city where winter means damp mornings and heated interiors, a lighter wrap such as the Davos, the Grace and the Dorian is easier to take off indoors. For a mild winter, a cropped Cameron and the Mira handle evenings without overheating. Ski weekends suit the Cortina, with its funnel neck and elastic at the waist and cuffs.

In shoulder seasons, leather does the job better than shearling. The trench coats below are the place to look.

The leather trench and leather coats

For a Nour Hammour leather trench, start with two styles. The Camden in Noir Classique ($2,800) is a belted nappa lambskin trench with wide notched lapels and a long A-line below a sharply cinched waist. It fits true to size. The Staley in Dark Brown ($3,440) is softer, with a gathered storm shield, a self-tie belt and belted cuffs. It ends just above the ankle and is cut oversized, so take a size down. Both are lined in cupro and viscose with silk through the sleeves.

How to style a Nour Hammour shearling coat

Volume needs a narrow base. Under the Birthday Coat and the Dorian, wear a fine knit with a straight trouser, then let the coat do the talking. Wear the robe coats open over a long skirt, belted when it is cold. The Grace and the Blaise sit happily over tailoring, since their lines are cleaner.

The cropped jackets reward proportion play. Wear the Cameron and the Mira over a slip dress at night and over a high-waisted jean by day. With prints such as the Nina and the leopard Raquel, keep everything else in one colour. Finish with leather gloves and a scarf from the house’s accessories edit.

How do Nour Hammour shearling coats fit?

Read the fit note on each page, because it is specific to the style. The blanket and robe coats are designed for an oversized fit, as are the Sima, the Nina and the Cortina. The brand recommends sizing down for a closer fit. The Grace and the Blaise in Brown Sable are true to size. So are the Davos, the Paloma, the Cameron and the Mira. Shearling styles are cut XS to XL, and the brand converts FR 34 to UK 6 and US 2. Our Nour Hammour size guide has the full conversion.

How to care for shearling

Dust the surface with a dry cloth and hang the coat in a ventilated space between wears. Do not iron the pelt and do not steam it. Any real cleaning should go to a specialist in leather and shearling. The full routine is in our guide to caring for leather and shearling outerwear.

Nour Hammour versus Yves Salomon, Khaite and Totême

Yves Salomon is the closest comparison, another Paris name with deep roots in fur and shearling. Khaite approaches outerwear from a New York tailoring angle, and Totême keeps its coats spare and Scandinavian in feel. Nour Hammour’s difference is that leather and shearling are the whole house, not one category among many. For a wider list, read brands like Nour Hammour.
