Shearling is a lambskin leather naturally lined with its fleece, which can be worn as desired, leather side or wool side.
It embodies relaxed elegance—both authentic and sophisticated—while offering remarkable thermal protection in a resolutely contemporary spirit.
Some of our pieces are reversible, revealing in turn the soft feel of wool or the smooth surface of leather. Each creation is designed to magnify the richness of textures, the play of volumes, and the natural fall of the material.
The different qualities that we select:
Merino
A dense and generous shearling, with small, tight curls.
Merino wool lends itself to several finishes: kept in its naturally curly state, flattened for a smoother appearance, or sheared for a clean, contemporary look. Its structured drape makes it an ideal choice for outerwear.
Merinillo
Younger than the Merino, the Merinillo is distinguished by a finer, softer and lighter skin, adorned with smaller and less dense curls.
It can be worked curly, flattened or shorn, depending on the desired effect.
Lacon
Used exclusively flattened in our collections, Lacon is recognized by its extreme delicacy and exceptional flexibility.
It is an airy material, ideal for flowing, close-fitting pieces.
Tuscany
A shearling with character, identifiable by its long, wavy wool.
Its fuller curls give it an opulent and spectacular look, perfect for exceptional creations.
Shearling is a living material, which requires regular attention in order to preserve all its beauty and suppleness:
- Protect it from rain and excessive humidity. Although insulating, it remains sensitive to water. In case of splashes, let it dry naturally, away from any heat source.
- Hang it on a wide, sturdy hanger, under a breathable fabric cover. Avoid any compression that could mark the material or crush the fleece.
- Protect it from any contact with cosmetics, perfumes or solvents, which may alter the color and texture of leather and wool.
- Never dry brush it: to restore volume to the fleece, shake it gently or simply let it breathe in the open air.
- Entrust it once a year to a specialist, for maintenance adapted to this exceptional skin type.
Lamb is distinguished by its exceptional suppleness, incomparable lightness and a natural grain of rare delicacy.
A noble material by nature, it combines discreet elegance, absolute comfort and thermal performance, while retaining a silky touch and a subtle presence.
Used in our collections for its versatility, it hugs the body with ease and accompanies each of its movements with fluidity.
Its finesse makes it the ideal material for close-fitting pieces, precisely cut coats or soft jackets with a natural drape.
As resistant as it may be, lamb remains a living material that requires special attention in order to preserve its softness and shine:
- Protect it from rain, humidity, and excessive heat. In case of accidental contact with water, dab gently without rubbing, then let it dry naturally.
- Avoid prolonged contact with bags or belts, which may mark the surface.
- Store it on a hanger, in a breathable fabric cover, away from direct light.
- Never apply unsuitable cleaning products - even natural ones - to leather.
- For any stain or complete cleaning, entrust your piece to a luxury leather specialist.
What is real shearling ?
Real shearling represents one of nature's most sophisticated materials, crafted from the hide of recently shorn sheep or lambs with the wool carefully preserved during the tanning process. This creates a unique dual-textured material where soft, insulating wool lines one side while supple suede forms the exterior surface.
Unlike synthetic alternatives, authentic shearling offers superior breathability and natural temperature regulation. The dense wool of a sheep creates air pockets that provide exceptional warmth without bulk, making it ideal for shearling coats and jackets that move with your body.
Sheepskin shearling develops character over time, becoming more supple and comfortable with wear. This natural aging process contributes to its timeless appeal among discerning fashion enthusiasts. The material's inherent durability means properly cared-for pieces can last generations, though they should never be placed in a washing machine - professional cleaning preserves both the leather and fur components for years of luxurious wear.
Shearling vs sherpa ?
When exploring winter outerwear options, people often encounter sherpa as a popular alternative to genuine shearling. While sherpa mimics the appearance of real shearling, several key differences set these materials apart. Authentic shearling feels substantially heavier and more flexible than synthetic versions, with noticeably denser wool that creates superior insulation.
The name "sherpa" typically refers to synthetic fleece designed to replicate shearling's cozy texture. However, genuine shearling offers natural moisture-wicking properties that synthetic materials cannot match. When exposed to water, authentic shearling maintains its insulating qualities and dries naturally, while synthetic alternatives may lose their loft and warmth.
Yves Salomon exclusively uses premium real shearling in our collections, ensuring each piece delivers the authentic luxury and performance that discerning clients expect from French craftsmanship.
How to clean shearling ?
Proper care ensures your shearling pieces maintain their beauty for years. Begin by gently brushing the wool surface with a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt, always following the natural direction of the fibers.
For minor stains, use a clean, damp cloth to blot the affected area without rubbing. Never submerge shearling in water or place it in a washing machine, as this can damage both the leather and wool components. The suede side requires different attention - use a specialized suede brush for maintenance.
Professional cleaning remains the safest option for shearling coats and jackets. Yves Salomon recommends consulting leather specialists who understand the unique properties of sheepskin and can preserve the timeless appeal of your investment pieces.
