Flirty, delightful shearling coats offer exciting fashion opportunities for women on the move. A shearling coat is, strictly defined, a fur coat comprised from lamb or sheep pelt. Since shearling materials are delicate, coat owners should take care to clean and store their pieces properly. Keep your coat away from excessive sunlight, heat, and moisture, and utilize a cloth-hanging bag to protect the natural oils in the coat.

Icelandic shearling coats, in contradiction to their name, offer extremely lightweight protection against the elements and top-notch suppleness. A typical Icelandic shearling pelt comes with slanted pockets, a number of buttons, and cuffs that can be adjusted to suit the taste of the wearer. For something longer and slightly warmer, you may consider a three-quarter length shearling pelt.

This classic coat length usually offers horizontal pocketing and three to four buttons, depending on your preference. Typically, a longer shearling coat comes with cuffs that can be adjusted and a special wide collar to provide warm comfort on chilly afternoons. Tuscany-style shearling coats come in a range of colors, including brown, black, tan, and brown. Some shearling coats feature fur on the interior, and some offer unlined interiors.

Full-length shearling coats provide incredible style, as well as complete protection against harsh winter elements. These are generally around 33 inches in the length, as opposed to three quarter length coats, which measure in at about 28 inches. Leading shearling coat designers include Mill Valley Leather, Reed Sportswear, Ardney Shearling Coats, Cooper, and Brahmin.
