Unlike brushed fabrics, the exterior hide features a smooth finished sheepskin surface in a rich chestnut brown shade that resists wind and wear naturally. The interior is fully lined with soft cream-toned fleece that traps natural body heat while remaining highly breathable. For collectors searching for luxury genuine shearling coats that age gracefully, this double-face construction ensures decades of timeless style.

Ergonomic Welt Pockets & Single Collar Throat Latch

Designed with practical functionality in mind, the front section includes two deep welted pockets positioned at an angled slant for comfortable hand warming. The plush shearling collar can be worn folded open or pulled up straight around the neck, secured using the single right-side leather throat strap with metal eyelets.

Leather Care & Maintenance Instructions

To preserve the rich luster of the finished chestnut leather exterior, clean surface dust using a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid exposing the natural sheepskin hide to heavy soaking rain. If wet, allow it to dry naturally at room temperature away from direct heaters. Use a specialized leather conditioner once a season to keep the finished hide soft, supple, and crack-resistant.
