Womens Brown Shearling Jacket

A shearling jacket has a leather or suede outer with the wool left attached on the inside face, so the lining and the shell are one piece of material. This one is brown with a fleece collar and body lining, cut for cold weather, in sizes XXS to 3XL. A note on classification. I marked this product as having no trademark exposure in the first pass, which was wrong. Your live listing names a specific film and a named actor. It needs the same descriptive treatment as the rest of the catalogue and it should not be presented as a generic piece.

Real shearling and faux shearling are not the same product

This matters more than any other material question in your range, so it needs settling before the page publishes. Real shearling is a single hide with the wool still attached, so there is no separate lining and no seam between the shell and the wool. It is very warm, quite heavy, and it lasts decades. Faux shearling is a fabric outer with a synthetic pile bonded or stitched to the inside. It is lighter, much cheaper, and it flattens over time where real wool recovers. Both are legitimate products. Selling one as the other is not, and Merchant Center treats the material attribute as a claim you have to stand behind. Whichever this jacket is, the page should say so plainly.

Why shearling is warm out of proportion to its thickness

The warmth comes from the crimp in the wool fibre, which traps air in thousands of small pockets. Trapped air is the insulator, not the wool itself. That is why a shearling collar makes such a difference at the neck, and why crushing the wool reduces the warmth. A shearling jacket packed tightly in a case or stored under something heavy comes out colder than it went in until the pile recovers.

It is heavier than it looks

People consistently underestimate the weight of a shearling jacket from photographs. It carries noticeably more than a plain leather jacket of the same size, and the weight sits on the shoulders. If you have a bad shoulder or you want something you can wear for eight hours without noticing, this is not the piece. If you want the warmest thing in the catalogue, it is.

Sizing

Take your usual size. Shearling is bulky by nature, so the pattern already allows for the thickness of the material. Do not size up expecting to layer heavily underneath. A shearling jacket is designed to be the warm layer rather than to go over one, and stuffing a thick knit under it compresses the wool against your body, which reduces the trapped air and makes the whole thing less warm rather than more.

Care, which is different to plain leather

Never machine wash shearling of either kind. Brush the wool with a soft brush to lift the pile when it flattens. For real shearling, use a specialist cleaner and expect it to cost more than a normal dry clean, because the hide and the wool need different treatment in the same process. For faux, follow the sewn in label. Store it hanging with space around it and never compressed, because compression is what ruins the loft on both types.
