FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the jacket is designed with 100% genuine shearling sheepskin throughout, making it exceptionally warm and suitable for cold weather conditions.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your chest and waist and compare them to the provided dimensions. Given the insulating nature of shearling, some prefer to size up for a more relaxed fit.

What is the difference between sheepskin and shearling?

Sheepskin refers to the skin of a sheep, while shearling specifically refers to sheepskin that has been tanned with the wool intact, providing insulation and a soft texture.

Can I wear this jacket in the rain?

While the leather exterior offers some protection, it is not entirely waterproof. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider using a leather protector spray for added water resistance.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid storing it in plastic or airtight containers, as this can damage the leather and shearling.

What material is the lining made of?

The lining is made of 100% wool, specifically the wool from the shearling sheepskin.

Does the collar stay up?

The collar is designed to be turned down or turned up, offering versatility in styling. It can be fastened when turned up for additional warmth and protection.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff

Apply a small amount of specialized leather conditioner to the exterior and allow it to absorb. Avoid over-conditioning.

Shearling appears matted

Gently brush the shearling with a soft brush or a specialized shearling comb to restore its loft. Ensure the jacket is dry before brushing.

Minor scuffs on leather

For light scuffs, a leather eraser or a soft cloth may be sufficient. For deeper marks, consult a professional leather repair service.

Jacket smells musty

Air out the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If the odor persists, professional cleaning may be necessary.
