Shearling jackets for cold UK winters
A shearling jacket pairs a smooth leather or suede outer with a dense, naturally warm wool fleece on the inside. That combination makes it one of the most reliable cold-weather layers you can wear. People searching for a sheepskin jacket or a lambskin shearling coat usually want the same thing: serious insulation without bulky padding. On this page you can compare shearling jackets from a range of UK retailers and click through to buy from the one you like, with no need to hunt across separate sites.
Choosing a sheepskin shearling coat that fits
Fit matters more than people expect with a sheepskin coat, because the fleece lining adds volume. Check the shoulders first, then leave room in the sleeves for a jumper. A shorter cut suits jeans and boots, while a longer shearling coat works over tailoring. Colour is the other big choice, from classic tan and brown to black and cream. If you are also browsing the wider range of jackets and coats UK, this page keeps the shearling styles together for easy comparison.
Aviator and biker shearling jackets compared
Shearling is not limited to one silhouette. The aviator shape with a wide collar is the best known, but you will also find double-breasted coats, hooded versions and slimmer cuts for women and men. A shearling jacket with a biker-style zip front gives the material a sharper edge, and you can compare it with biker jackets made from plain leather. Look at the collar and cuff details, since these show off the fleece and set one design apart from another.
Looking after your shearling jackets
A good shearling coat should last for years if you treat it gently. Brush suede sides with a soft suede brush, keep it away from direct radiators and let it dry naturally if it gets caught in the rain. Never wash it in a machine, because sheepskin needs specialist cleaning. Store it on a wide hanger in a breathable bag during warmer months. Do that, and the coat keeps its shape, softness and warmth season after season, whichever retailer you choose to buy from.
