Both have different purposes. I won't take my shearling bomber jacket on a hike. That's where I'll have my down jacket in my backpack. When there's exercise involved it's easy to overheat and you need to stash the big jacket away. A shearling jacket doesn't stash easily. When it comes to low movement such as driving at -10 c with windows down, winter camp with bonfire, walking slow through brush, going to the bar etc, its the shearling jacket. The shearling jacket is my daily winter jacket to work, around home, playing with kids in the snow. I use it 90% of winter to my down jacket at 10%. It's tough, ultra warm, looks amazing and will most likely outlive me. The down is often a backup in my car for exercise or for car breakdown for others.

I have a black m51 fishtail pattern parka from China. They're really popular there and they come with interchangeable liners and hood fur. You can get rabbit fur, synthetic and down liners for them. Bought the fur and synthetic liners (down tends to come out in the wash) as well as 2 real and 4 faux fur ruffs. However, this is something I would wear on vacation. In the city, even down to - 15 C, I like to wear 24-32oz wool long coats and pea coats. As heavy as sheepskin but lower maintenance and more durable.

@alakhazom3 жыл бұрын
@@jacklll2631 I'm gonna chime in. I live in Romania,and i think it gets a little chillier than Germany.I have a sheepskin that i had worn at -20C with just a shirt underneath. That's it.Normally i just wear a tshirt,if you can believe it. As i am a leather aficionado,this being my second sheepskin,plus other leather jackets,leather by itself is cold as ice in chilly temperatures. You don't have to look for the thickness of the leather,but of the fur that's attached to it. It kinda makes a small difference.But i assume most sold online are thick enough. Another thing that i would suggest is to look for a model that you can zip up all the way-it's extremely useful. The ones that have a full zipper from top to bottom,have also wide collars. That means that if you zip it up all the way,it goes to your eyes.Just a beanie on top,and you're isolated from the elements.Only your eyes are visible,ha ha. No need for neck scarfs,and other cumbersome things. And nothing gets through the leather,not even water. I'll post you the links on the website were i bought it from,it's really good quality,highy recommended. Plus it's way cheaper than what you can get it western europe or CanUsa. www.aavesa.com/product/men-sheepskin-jacket-323p/ This is the exact model that i have,and it's the black one. Full black. That's another thing i recommend,get one that's dark. I had a brown one(brown leather and brown fur) and it gets kinda colored,after a while(white fur is even worst). With a dark leather and dark fur one,you don't have that problem-it stays dark for ever,and muck and dirt are not visible(pure black it's the best,like i have). Also,if you look at an very old bomber jacket,the leather stayed ok(dark color) but the fur looks very oldish. That's my 2 cents on that. But feel free to browse that site,they have more "expensive" models too. I went to Australia and was shocked how expensive a jacket like mine was,3-4 times the price,and the design was more flimsy,even. Also to note,it's heavy,as all are. BUT tough,like no other. Apparently the company delivers worldwide,so probably can be sent your way. The idea is if you buy from from somewhere in Eastern Europe,it's gonna be cheaper. Way cheaper. Also,if you buy it from your country in the west,avoid fashion brands made sheepskins. They are obscenely priced-if you go local,go for a brand that specializes in these things.

Ah,and btw i would recommend getting one with easy acces to pockets(if they have a zipper is ok),they come in useful.Almost all sheepskins don't have interior pockets keep that in mind. Another thing to look for is where the main zipper is,if they have a windbreak,so to speak. A small layer of fabric (leather behind the zipper,so wind desn't come through. It's not a biggie at all,but kinda helps. Also,i suppose you can look at second hands in your area,maybe you can snuck up on a cheaper one,that looks nice. Thrifts stores and all that. They look awesome anyways,and are quite durable for decades. If you look at what northern tribes wear,it's always a form of natural stuff. Now imagine a jacket like this,made from reindeer.

Sheepskin is leather, getting it wet from snow can damage it. You can't roll around snow and do snowball fights with it. There's a reason why fur coats have the fur on the outside. A 600 or more fill powered down parka is superior to sheepskin in terms of pure warmth. The polyester shell and nylon lining, however, is a turn off when it comes to eco-friendliness. Sure it is water repellent, windproof, sweat wicking, etc but it goes against my principle of trying to be as natural as possible. But that's just me nitpicking like a spoiled tree-hugger. Then there's the waxed cotton/wool shell with cotton lining down parkas like Manifattura's. Even more expensive than traditional synthetics. I'm tempted to try it next winter but I'm concerned about my sweat soaking through the cotton lining and weakening the insulation. There's also the wool filling used instead of down. I wonder how it will function compared to down or shearling...
