Sheepskin Coats for Men

Sheepskin coats for men are not only incredibly stylish, but also provide comfort and warmth through the colder winter months.

Before shopping for sheepskin coats for men, it may be helpful to understand the difference between shearling and slink. Slink is from spring lamb hide, while shearling is hide from a sheep that is either one or two years old. Further differences include:

• Shearling: Shearling tends to be heavier, larger and thicker wool that is then shorn to a uniform length.

• Slink: With a slink hide, you can expect a material that is softer and suppler than a shearling hide. Note too that slink hide tends to be naturally short and curly; this hide doesn't need to be shorn, but it is sometimes ironed "straight" to give a greater fur-like appearance.

Finally, keep in mind that no matter the style you choose (whether slink or sheepskin) both materials will keep you incredibly warm and well prepared for the winter months.
