The hide side is finished as leather and faces outward; the wool side faces in. It is not a leather jacket with a fur lining sewn into it — there is no seam between shell and insulation, because they are the same piece of material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat construction is why shearling outperforms layered jackets of similar thickness. There is no gap for cold to find and no lining to shift or bunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to tell real shearling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree checks. Look at where the wool meets the hide at a cuff or hem — on real shearling the wool grows out of the skin, with no stitch line joining two materials. Press the wool: it springs back slowly and unevenly, where synthetic pile bounces back uniformly. And feel the weight; genuine shearling is heavy, and a light \"shearling\" jacket almost never is one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wool colour also varies naturally across a single hide. Perfectly even colour throughout usually means it is dyed synthetic pile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLiving with a shearling jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHonest expectations. It is heavy — a full-size B3 is one of the heaviest jackets you will own, and that weight is the warmth. It is bulky, for the same reason. It does not like heavy rain: shearling is a cold-and-dry material, and soaked wool takes a long time to dry properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare is simple but non-negotiable: brush the wool with a soft brush, wipe the hide, dry naturally away from all heat, and use a specialist sheepskin cleaner rather than a standard dry cleaner. Do that and the jacket lasts decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is also a reproduction-style fashion jacket rather than military surplus — no genuine service insignia, no claim of issue history.\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.
