Shearling coats are a great way to stay warm while looking fashionable and elegant. More and more companies are now producing shearling jacket as the demand has grown larger for men and women.
Unfortunately, these jackets come with a hefty price tag. I’ve seen jackets priced up at $7,000 (Giorgio Armani), however the starting price for a decent shearling jacket can start at $500. UGG, from Australia has made a great name in the shearling industry. They use great quality products and their jackets start around $1,000.
UGG also makes an incredible shearling boot, which is the product that put them on the map. These boots start at $110 and up, but will guarantee your feet and toes stay warm on those cold winter snowy days.
If you’re shopping around and want to make sure you’re getting the best quality shearling coat, always make sure it’s made from grade-A sheepskin. If you’re going to spend money and make an investment in this coat, it’s worth spending a bit extra on a coat that will last years. Grade-A quality sheepskin is more durable and it’s also more comfortable.
If you don’t have a budget for a shearling coat, but would still like the glamorous look then there’s still an option for you. Faux shearling coats are easily found and are a fraction of the price.
Well-known brands have started manufacturing faux shearlings. Victoria Secret has a faux shearling for $150, while Steve Madden’s jacket is priced at $100. There are faux shearling options for men as well, manufactured by Orvis (who also make authentic coats too).
Once you make an investment in an authentic shearling coat, it’s extremely important you take great care of the coat. It should be cleaned a few times per year, in order to keep its natural color. Too much sun can also change the color and give it a dull appearance. Make sure to use specialty soap and always hand wash with warm water.
Hopefully you can find a shearling jacket that’s affordable and the style you’re looking for. You’ll be able to find many different styles and prices online, so make sure to look around before purchasing!
