On a jacket this thick, the zip and the fastenings do more work than on any other garment, and they are where cheap shearling jackets fail first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine shearling sheepskin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular fit, generous by design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy-duty front zip with collar straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown with natural wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brush the wool, wipe the hide, specialist cleaning only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy the zip matters on shearling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard jacket zip runs through two thin layers of fabric. On shearling it has to close two thick, stiff panels of hide with fleece behind them, under real tension every time you fasten it. A light zip will bow, jam or split within a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe zip on this jacket is heavy-gauge for that reason. It also runs on generously stitched tape, because the stitching that anchors a zip to thick hide is under as much strain as the zip itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing: a failed zip on a shearling jacket is a repair, not a write-off. A leather specialist can replace it and the jacket carries on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe collar straps\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo leather straps close the wide collar at the throat. At altitude, wind pressure forced ordinary collars open, so the straps hold it shut. On the ground they do the same in wind; unbuckled, the collar folds back and the jacket looks entirely different.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShearling, fit and honest notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne sheepskin, tanned with the fleece attached — hide outward blocking wind, wool inward trapping air, no seam between them. Take your normal size; the pattern already allows for the thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHonest points: it is heavy and bulky, and both are the warmth. It is a reproduction-style fashion jacket, not military surplus, with no genuine service insignia. Avoid heavy rain and never dry it near direct heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMade to order, XS to 5XL and custom\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade after you order in XS to 5XL, plus Custom — chest, shoulder, sleeve and back length.
