4 Characteristics That Influence the Price of Sheepskin Coats

Sheepskin coats, also known as shearling coats, can range in price from $695 - $3,800, depending on the characteristics of the coat. Why the wide price range?

1

Warmth-to-Weight Ratio

In general, more expensive sheepskin coats are crafted from finer leather and denser wool. Sheep from colder mountain climates, like Merino sheep, possess thicker, finer wool, whereas sheep from the plains require less wool and typically have heavier hides.

2

Wool Softness

Sheepskin is always soft, no matter which coat you buy. At the luxury end of the spectrum, sheepskin provides unparalleled softness more akin to fine fur.

3

Style

Crafting a sheepskin coat requires stitching together a number of varied, unblemished sheepskins. Great care goes into properly matching each sheepskin for equal weight, coloring, and wool density. Many of our higher-priced coats require longer or uniquely shaped sheepskin panels to achieve their handsome styling, which is both more time-intensive and requires more sheepskins.

4

Craftsmanship

Specialty leathers and trims, procured from the best locations around the world, contribute to the final cost of each coat, as do the advanced skills of the craftsmen who masterfully create each piece by hand.

Our B-3 Bomber is modeled after a coat worn by WWII airmen who flew at high, cold altitudes in unpressurized cabins. The design is rugged and crafted from heavy sheepskin in squared panels that piece together easily for a rugged coat that's incredibly durable.

Our High Country coats are crafted from luxuriously soft sheepskin and provides the same warmth as the heavier B-3 jacket but in a lighter, more tailored design. Longer, hand-matched pieces of sheepskin are required to make this more complicated pattern, while specialty leather trim and fine fastenings add polish to the final design.
