Shirley Reversible Merino Shearling Sheepskin Cape

A problem with a shoulder joint that made getting in and out of sleeves difficult has now been solved. Not only that but the cape is well made and beautiful!

TLDR: Once you feel the shearling and suede when you open the box you know you are going to keep it. The arm buttons aren't small but they do pop out and is finicky. Pros: * It's even more beautiful than the pictures the color of the suede is more like a olive * So soft!!! Softer than another shearling sheepskin cape that was more expensive from a competitor (I'm returning that one). The suede is super buttery too. * It being reversible makes it so you can really glam up with the shearling side up Cons: * Finicky arm button. * One size means it's somewhat big since I'm 5'1" but it being a cape it looks fine

Great item- very warm and plush, few things about it that I didn't like were the buttons and the size. The buttons are not of quality for this kind of item. Also, I'm a small person and the cape was way too big for me. So I send it back for those two reasons. But it's a beautiful cape!

Professionally made, beautiful raw material, nice finish

I use a wheelchair and thought this cape would be ideal. The product is extremely high quality. I opted for the black. The cape is warm and easy to put on. However the side buttons are not high quality and do not stay buttoned. Also the front of the cape needs one more button lower down under the existing two. I hope this issue gets fixed. I returned the cape and purchased a shearling coat from them instead which is luxurious.

I've been really happy with this cape. I love sheepskin and have a few coats/jackets, but this is so versatile and striking. The color (I have the khaki/briesa--the khaki is more of a taupe IMO), warmth, and softness are wonderful, and it is so lightweight to wear. I do agree with the other review that the buttons under the arms are not large enough for the size of the buttonholes. When I get a chance, I'll shop for some larger buttons so they stay closed. But that's a minor quibble and easily remedied. One other note, I've had no issues with this cape, but Overland provides awesome customer service. I would never hesitate to order online from them--on the few occasions I have had a (minor) issue with a purchase, they make it easy to remedy.

The cape is warm and soft without the bulk, very flattering, extremely versatile and unique. I can wear it in any occasions when cool weather comes.

The style, quality and prices are all beyond my highest expectations!

This is an absolutely beautiful cape. I love that you can wear it with jeans or dress it up for a night out. It is so well made, and so warm! I love the versatility of the button placement, and quite frankly it just looks great! Because it's reversible, the biggest decision I need to make is which side to wear on the outside! It is just long enough, and it hangs beautifully. Be prepared to have complete strangers stop you and ask where you bought it!

I have two additional sheepskin coats and way too may down/insulated coats. This appeared online to be a good alternative for our cold Houston days (yes, I call them cold - and today is one of them - in the 40s and 50s). Lest one think this is not good for really cold weather, I took it to Kansas as my primary wrap, and it was sufficient for the very cold, blustery Kansas winter weather we encountered. This buttons under the arms to give it more structure and shape but I have found it doesn't stay buttoned. The button holes and the buttons "don't match." The buttons just need to be bigger. I solved that problem with a quick trip to JoAnn Fabrics and $4 later with four 1.5" gorgeous buttons, I have made replacement fasteners (sew two buttons together with a strong shank - they fit through front and back buttonholes). It is just fine unbuttoned, but I like the structure with the front fastened to the back under the arms. As with most shearlings, this is actually not heavy or hot. It is very soft and supple. I am SO very glad I purchased this. I'm pretty sure it will get worn a lot more than my other coats.
