Why you need a sheepskin coat!

I salvaged my dad's beloved sheepskin after he passed away. I feel like he's giving me a hug when I wear it. Wore it in winter through pregnancy.❤ So warm. They don't make coats like them anymore

Yep. As warm as down fill, breathes, and unlike a puffy down jacket, you can bang it around in the woods, wear it in the rain and snow and the wool will keep you warm even if it gets wet as wool keeps its warmth at 80% saturation. You're done with down unless you have a very high water resistant, tough shell. Plus, it wears better after being banged around. Good vid.

Great video! I love how you show the results of not babying your leather. All the scraping and dings makes that jacket look badass.

Thanks for making this video! It is very helpful for me since I'm considering buying a sheepskin coat too.

I got my first sheepskin coat, and it is awesome.

I live in Canada and have three sheepskin coats..My Christ sheepskin from Germany is my favorite. It goes down almost to my ankles and I wear it on the coldest of days.

You have given all the information that I needed to know thanks !

[stroketyson]

all sheepskins are suede but they turn some to NAPA leather thats what u got but when it crackles off it goes back to suede

this is a B-3 style bomber, or a RAF bomber. not an exact replica, but in the style of the old WWII bomber jackets

[arapahosundancer]

I got one on a website and it's a bomber with a hood. They are awesome, gotta have it in the cold.

I brought my pink read shearling coat for 20 cad in value village!

[crazycressy]

Just got one for £101 on ebay, the same sort if jackets are going for £300 to £1500 for the irvins cant wait for it to turn up

I like the idea of one that’s got LOONG wool fibers.

Or even long in the core area, and shaved down in the arms a bit. Is that how they’re done?

[theunityofknowledge]

Thanks for including the measurements. Great jacket. Good deal.

You can get matching trousers or pants you call them made from the same material when you flying a spitfire at height body parts start to freeze Irvine RAF flying jacket. & matching pants

My wife just bought me my first sheepskin shearling jacket and I love it. However, I have to wear long sleeve shirts under it because it’s so damn itchy. Literally when I have short sleeves on it’s almost unbearable when I bend and move my arms. I read online it softens up with skin oils and just wearing it but idk if I can tolerate that. Ugh. But holy shit it’s warm. Love it.

Can these get wet? Rain 🌧️? Or snow ❄️ storm?

[Drmanipnoid]

I picked one almost identical at a thrift store recently. You mentioned oiling it occasionally. What oil would you use on this?

Hi, I have an all-button shearling jacket, not the zipper style. It was given to me many winters ago and it looks old, very thick and heavy yes, used item. Its tag says Original Shearling by MB, Italy. Any idea what the initials stand for? Thanks.
