Shearling is so incredibly warm and soft. I own several Overland shearling coats and what keeps me coming back is the quality and style. Every fall I find another new style to add to my collection. This coat with the fur trim that drapes like a scarf, looks like a scarf but without the hassle. Plus it will be warm and snug at the neck. The color is espresso, not black and not brown so it can be dressed up or down. The stitching on the front and back helps slenderize.
