There, fresh out of high school, the young entrepreneur created beautiful, high-quality sheepskin coats, hats, mittens, and slippers-meticulously cutting and stitching everything by hand.

Word quickly spread about the quality and craftsmanship of Overland's products, and soon it was impossible for Jim to keep up with the growing demand. So he invited fellow Taos craftspeople and artisans to work with him.

As Overland Sheepskin Co.'s reputation for excellence continued to grow, the store soon expanded into the current shop north of Taos at the foot of Taos Mountain.

More than 40 years, 15 more stores, and one thriving internet business later, Overland continues to expand and flourish. Today, our product line has grown from a handful of shearling coats to over 1,500 styles of premium apparel and home products, all with the Overland stamp of excellence. We now offer an extensive collection of the finest shearling coats, designer leather jackets, luxurious fur & fabric coats, footwear, premium clothing, and sheepskin & leather handbags.

Our styles range from rugged Western to the most elegant of classic and contemporary fashions. We are also well-known for our luxurious home and auto accessories, including sheepskin and cowhide rugs, designer rugs and pillows, sheepskin car seat covers, and more.

Through Overland's exponential growth over the years, the small family shop atmosphere has remained the backbone of our business.

At Overland Sheepskin Co., our goal is to provide you with a unique shopping experience and quality products that bring you pleasure for years to come. We thank you, our customers, for the opportunity to do what we love, and what we do best.

All the best,

Roger Leahy, and the Leahy Family
