Women’s Shearling Jacket: The Coat to Reach for Every Time Winter Gets Serious
You might have owned a lot of winter coats. Puffers, wool peacoats, even one of those “arctic-rated” parkas that felt like wearing a sleeping bag. None of them made us feel the way a good women’s shearling jacket does.
There’s something about real wool against your skin and a leather shell keeping the wind out that just works. So when we launched our shearling collection at New USA Jackets, we didn’t want to give you a sales pitch. We wanted to give you what we actually know, from wearing these things through brutal Chicago winters and researching the material way more than a normal person should.
So, What Is a Shearling Jacket?
Shearling jackets are made from sheepskin, which is tanned with the wool kept on rather than sheepskin that has been tanned after the wool has been removed. Outside: Leather and inside: soft wool. That was the trick of magic: that’s all. Wikipedia breaks down shearling coats to mean that the shearing process helps to maintain the wool fibers of the lining at constant depth, hence the smoothness and softness felt in the shearling coat. Nor is it new during WW2; pilots used shearling-lined bomber-jacks, as they were the only way to keep warm at altitude! It is the same thinking we’ve introduced into women’s modern fashion.
Real Wool, Real Leather, Real Warmth Not Just A Marketing Line
Our collection covers pretty much every version you’d want.
- Classic shearling aviator jacket styles for that timeless pilot look.
- A cropped shearling bomber jacket if you want something that pairs with jeans instead of swallowing your whole outfit.
- Full leather shearling jacket builds in black and brown for people who want it to last a decade, not a season.
- Yes, faux shearling jacket options are available as well, for everyone who wants the warmth AND the aesthetics, but without the animal product.
So, what makes a good one and a bad one? The wool lining. Inexpensive ones employ thin, flat fleece that will mat down after the first year. The lofted real wool shearling lining that we use is breathable when warm and keeps us warm when cold, just like Independence Brothers says that it is with its real wool shearling that you will enjoy better insulation than the synthetic fur insulators that there are.
Built For Winters From Chicago To Toronto To Mexico City
Heavyweight women’s outerwear from the USA, shipping to New York, Denver, Minneapolis and where the wind blows. We do not stop here at the border, though. We deliver our Midwest customers’ look of softness north to Toronto, Montreal and Calgary for the Canadian winter! We also ship South, and that means to Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey and a lighter leather jacket with shearling lining for the cooler evenings and mountain-region cold snaps.
Grab Yours From Us
You can buy your first shearling jacket from us, and after five years you can still be wearing it. That’s the whole point. A luxury shearling outerwear piece isn’t disposable fashion; it’s an investment piece, and we price it like one, not like a designer markup.
