Shearling Jackets: FAQs

Are shearling jackets warm?

Yes. Shearling traps warm air in the fleece and blocks wind, so a shearling jacket is warm well below freezing.

What is the difference between shearling and sherpa?

Shearling is sheepskin with the fleece left on; sherpa is a synthetic fleece that copies the look.

Can shearling get wet?

Light rain and snow are fine; let it dry at room temperature and brush the suede once dry.

How should a shearling jacket fit?

Choose your usual size; shearling is bulky, so you only need room for a fine knit underneath.

How do you clean a shearling jacket?

Brush the suede and spot clean small marks, and have it cleaned by a leather specialist once a season.

Is a shearling jacket worth it?

Yes, for cold climates. Shearling lasts for decades with care and softens with wear.
