Sheepskin coat is one of the favorite types of clothing for the winter. The price for them is not as high as for fur coats, and in terms of warmth and durability they are sometimes in no way inferior to them. Particularly notable is the clothing that has become popular recently - the sheepskin coat from Tuscany. The price for such sheepskin coats varies from 20 to 50 thousand rubles, it all depends on the quality of the fur, the length of the sheepskin coat itself, and, of course, on the style.
general information
The Tuscan sheep is a breed whose fur is considered elite. This animal comes from Tuscany, a mountainous region in Italy. For sewing sheepskin coats, only Tuscan lamb fur is used, so it feels very delicate and soft to the touch. Externally, Tuscan sheep look like goats, which is why many sellers characterize Tuscany as goat fur. Nowadays, most sheepskin coats with tsigeika are trimmed with such fur (cuffs, hoods, collars). This is no coincidence. After all, it is long, moderately fluffy, wearable. A Tuscan hooded sheepskin coat always looks richer and more impressive than a regular one. Another quality of Tuscan fur is warmth and wearability. Most often, the first thing that suffers is the top of the sheepskin coat, the skin, on which abrasions and stains can form, but the fur inside remains smooth for a long time, it does not roll or climb.
Where are sheepskin coats sewn?
Initially, sewing sheepskin coats from Tuscany was entirely in the hands of the Italians, because it is in Italy that this wonderful breed of sheep is bred. However, in Tuscany there are no large factories that would engage in mass production of hides and sheepskin coats. These are mainly small workshops that are advertised by the Toscana zione company, which is responsible for promoting Tuscan sheepskin coats on the world market. The quality of the products is clearly monitored, all furs are top-class, which will serve the owners for a long time. Such a product will cost many times more than those that are on the shelves of our stores. However, the quality, durability, and appearance of Italian sheepskin coats are certainly superior to many models made in Turkey or China.
Oddly enough, but the most popular now are Tuscan sheepskin coats from Turkey. In principle, they are considered to be of high quality, and the styles are also very diverse and interesting. Türkiye is now the leader in the production of this type of winter clothing.
How to care for a natural sheepskin coat?
The care process is not too different from ordinary sheepskin coats and consists of several simple steps:
- It is worth protecting your Tuscan sheepskin coat from bright sunlight, so you can only store it in dark rooms or simply in closed cabinets;
- before putting on a sheepskin coat, it is better to perfume yourself, and not do it in the reverse order, because natural leather does not tolerate perfume well;
- You can dry your sheepskin coat only on hangers and at room temperature, protecting it from exposure to heating devices, because otherwise the skin will simply shrink;
- It is best to first check all chemical care products on the product in places that are not too noticeable to the human eye, because the result of their use may differ from that specified by the manufacturer;
- the fur on the product must be combed so that it retains its properties for many years after purchasing the sheepskin coat;
- Once a year it is necessary to take the product for dry cleaning, because the inner fur part becomes quite wrinkled from wear and can even become greasy, the same applies to the outer leather side, so you can’t do it without the help of specialists.
What should fur be like?
Firstly, you need to make sure that the fur is of the correct manufacture and quality. Under no circumstances should the fur fall out at the slightest mechanical impact. Of course, when worn, any fur will remain on clothing in small quantities; no one is immune from such cases. However, initially, when purchasing, you need to pull the fur several times, run your hand and make sure that it does not break off or fall out. After all, unscrupulous manufacturers can simply sew a sheepskin coat from an old skin or from a burnt one (in addition, the fur can deteriorate during dyeing). The pile should be the same length; if you run your hand over quality fur, a mark should remain on it.
What does a quality sheepskin coat look like?
The front side of the sheepskin coat should be clean, without glue stains. Also pay attention to the seams. The fur (although it is long) should not stick out from the front side. The seams should not wrinkle. Threads sticking out of the seams are a sign of poor quality sewing. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the seams (firstly, the appearance of the clothes depends on them, and secondly, a poorly stitched sheepskin coat can tear).
High-quality tanned leather should not absorb a drop of water (unless, of course, sellers allow it to drop onto the leather). There should also be no traces of paint left from a wet scarf. If the paint remains on the fabric and palms, then with the first wet snow the product will fade and lose its color.
Tuscan sheepskin coat (customer reviews indicate this) is very warm, but for it to be truly warm, you need to check the thickness of all parts (it should be the same).
Sagitta sheepskin coats - reviews

I bought a sheepskin coat. I had the dublek at above-zero temperatures for two months. When it first got colder, I put on some clothes... and drove to work and back. In general, she was dressed for two hours. After putting it on, I noticed that it was pulling on the left shelf (as a result of which the bottom button came off), the next morning I called the store (they answered, bring it) I brought a sheepskin coat and they accepted it. Three days later, the store invited us for an independent examination. The conclusion of the examination shocked me. Conclusion: the doublet was used for two months, as a result of which the fittings became deformed. At the same time, the client (me) is size 44, doubles 42 (that is, I bought a mala). But my entire wardrobe is size 42. They gave the sheepskin coat back to me. I will solve the problem in court.

terrible store! Today I was shocked by him. The pictures in the catalog do not correspond to reality at all. Everything was done on the knees in the basement according to pictures from a European catalog. Several years ago I bought a mink and a fur coat and a sheepskin coat in this creepy store, everything peeled off in a few days, it was impossible to wear! Don't believe false advertising! And, by the way, you won’t be able to return all this rubbish! They offer you their sales expertise, you don’t have to agree! The examination should only be independent, they are afraid of it!

I have always dreamed of a light coat made of natural fur. I saw this model from Scandinavian mink and caught fire. I took it in installments. I really liked the style with its interesting diagonal design and the fur itself – dense, thick and uniform. The fur coat is very elegant, warm, looks royal - with such a stand, you involuntarily crane your neck. In addition to the spectacular design and shiny fur, you can highlight the lightness of the fur coat and a comfortable fit (it just happens that you feel a pinch in the shoulders - this is not the case here). There are no “bald patches” on the sleeves, although it’s already been a season. In general, I’m happy with the purchase and I want the quality of the products to be really high!
Buyer
Good afternoon I want to share with you my bitter experience of buying a sheepskin coat in the Sagita store on Mira Avenue! Don't be lazy and read to the end! It's a pity that I saw reviews about this store so late! Also, like many, I fell into this trap.. I bought a Tuscan lamb sheepskin coat on November 17, 2018, and since it was warm until the end of December, I did not wear it. I put it on for the first time a month later and immediately had a problem: the clothes were twisting in the right sleeve, at first I thought it would go away, you never know.. in the end, having worn it with different clothes, I realized that no matter what material the clothes are made of or how long the sleeve is, it still twists everything and it starts to pull, from the throat to the sleeve, this is terrible discomfort!! I immediately went to all sorts of review sites and realized that you ALWAYS read reviews before purchasing! I wasn’t even the 10th with my problem... thank you very much to the girl from the review site who answered me, despite the fact that 2 years have already passed since she had exactly the same incident! Irina told me all her steps to return money for goods of inadequate quality produced by the Sagita store and instilled in me faith in justice! I brought a sheepskin coat to the store after the New Year holidays (01/18/19), the store director, as I later realized, with the usual for her, with a stony face and an arrogant look, of course she accepted it from me with the words: this can’t be and this is the first time they came to her with such a case, that it’s curled hair, it’s not normalized by the guest, she dissuaded me (they say it’s cold, maybe you’ll bring it later), intimidated (if it turns out that we are not to blame, you will pay for the examination, transportation and storage, and our examination is expensive - 15 thousand) for her “independent”, I emphasize, examination at “Soyuzexpertiza” - you generally need to write a separate review about this “institution”! - a purchased place from the 90s. I was notified at 6 am (sent an SMS) about the ongoing examination at 12:00 on the same day (01/29/19), then they called at 10:30 and invited me. Arriving for the examination, the “specialist” asked to wear a sheepskin coat. After looking at me for 10 seconds, she immediately gave the answer - it’s too small for you, so it’s twisted and your allowance is too small! 02/06/18 - I picked up my sheepskin coat and took it to my independent examination, where the manufacturing defect of the product was confirmed (many skins were not selected correctly, poor-quality raw materials - the wool was falling out), after calling the store, the director said to bring the examination to her personally and that it was impossible by mail! I've arrived ! She made a copy (she specifically drove me to them, exhausted me) and said that she would call me back as soon as she contacted the lawyers. A week later, the director called me and in an angelic voice spoke about how important their clients were for them, and that the lawyers came to a meeting with US and offered 2 options for the development of events: 1- keep the sheepskin coat and they pay me 20% of the cost 2- return sheepskin coat and they pay me 20% less. Which of course I didn’t agree to! They are required by consumer protection law to return 100%! As a result, after 2 days she called and told me to come to the store at a convenient time for me with the product for a 100% refund!!! 02/26/19 I got my money back! Do not be afraid! Fight for your rights!

The most unnecessary thing in my closet is a sheepskin coat made of saggita.

For a long time I was looking for a good and trusted store with women's outerwear. Unfortunately, there was a bitter experience when sheepskin coats and fur coats simply fell apart after two months. A friend recommended the Sagitta store and decided to see what they sold there. I liked the wide selection of models, among which I quickly chose a fur coat at an average price. I wore it for almost three months and was satisfied, despite the fact that I wore it every day, it did not lose its original appearance. Now I’m thinking of buying something representative from Sagitta for my beloved mother and daughter.

Probably not1 We bought a sheepskin coat with fox fur. The suede itself is super, soft, thin. The cut fit perfectly. But the fox... it began to crumble after about a month. The trim of the sleeves and collar just looked terrible. The pile breaks off, leaving a fluff. For now, the idea is to stop all this bacchanalia, buy normal fur and make it with buttons. It will be possible to take it to the dry cleaner without any pain. In short, I have big questions about fur...

If I had read the reviews before purchasing, I would never have gone to this store. I bought a sheepskin coat on Saturday evening. When purchasing, I discussed with the seller the terms of return and exchange. I wanted to try on an expensive item at home and consult with my loved ones. The sheepskin coat did not match in color and, as it turned out, in size. The next day, Sunday, they refused to accept the sheepskin coat and return the money. Motivating, the absence of the store director from the workplace. I insisted. As a result, they took the sheepskin coat and did not return the money. In front of me, the man was returning his sheepskin coat. He was also refused. Mayhem. I don't know how it will end. When buying, think 10 times. Like at the bazaar, either Manka is not there, or Vanka is not there. They won't get any money. Maybe this is only in N. Novgorod.

be careful!!
I really want to share my experience!
I bought 2 sheepskin coats (long and short)! It should be noted that many things fit and fit well, and of course a very good consultant, Evgeniy, helped. I actually needed a long sheepskin coat! for every day, but I couldn’t refuse the second short one (the prices are very reasonable). The store warned me that I should sew the buttons at home, since they are sewn poorly at the factory. When I came home and showed a long sheepskin coat, one button fell off, I went to the studio ( I’m not very good with needlework) and when they cut off (in front of me) the other two buttons, there were holes underneath them, tiny holes!!!
The dressmaker and I started looking at everything and saw just a nightmare and under the other row of buttons (decorative) there were also shitty holes!!! and it was clearly pierced by something.
The buttons were quite heavy, and the skin of the sheepskin coat was thin for such buttons, and there was simply a huge elongated mark from the button. This is all despite the fact that I had never worn it. The dressmaker told me that this was very unusual and drew attention to the divergent seam , and this seam alone is a MARRIAGE!

not warm
I bought a Tuscan lamb sheepskin coat. The sellers said that this material is very warm and the sheepskin coat can be worn even in 40 degree frost and not freeze. But it’s cold in it even at 20 degrees Celsius. In addition, the fur comes out, and you can’t wear a white sweater. Besides this, a bunch of other shortcomings were discovered. I'm about to return the product. Although I really, really liked the model.

I was very lucky with the sheepskin coat, I took the sheepskin coat for 4 seasons, and it was still as good as new! I bought a classic double-breasted black one below the knee. And I’ve been wearing a fur hat for two seasons now, everything is also fine, after reading negative reviews - I realized, choose things more carefully, probably not all models are successful. In my case, I am grateful to the store!

I bought myself a sheepskin coat from Sagita, it looks decent, everything is fine... But, after a month, which is exactly how long the guarantee lasts, all the buttons fell off, after two the loops fell out of the fastenings, by the end of winter the fur came out between the seams, if only my hands had grown from another place, repairing this “chic” product would cost a pretty penny. I do not advise…………. Alas and AH

I bought a sheepskin coat from Tuscany on credit (allegedly). As a result: on the product passport it says sheepskin, they don’t specify what type of sheepskin it is, and not a word about Tuscan lamb. After wearing it 7 times, I brought it back because there are some stains. The result of their examination is improper use (that is, according to them, it can only be worn at home) The store does not give a certificate for leather fabric!!! I pay for the loan, but I can’t wear it!!!! Be careful. Before when purchasing, read reviews about stores. This clearly does not correspond to what, perhaps, was before. Today I wrote a statement to Rospotrebnadzor for housing, but what the result will be is not known!!! The price of a sheepskin coat is 35,000 rubles on sale.

I bought a sheepskin coat “Rolled Suede”. To make it last longer, I treated it with Salamander for suede shoes several times. Did not help. After a week of wear, tears rolled in, the suede became wrinkled from the snow - a new model of “Sagitta” “shar-pei sheepskin coat”. You can only buy leather clothes there; a leather coat lasts for several years (loose style, nothing should stretch or tear anywhere in principle).

I bought a sheepskin coat with long pile in this store, it turned out that fur was coming out. Of course, it doesn’t climb much, but it doesn’t decrease significantly. I made a return, the store conducted an examination and said that this is how it should be. I conducted my examination among my friends and those stores that really seem to do this professionally. I heard the same answer from everyone - poor quality materials and workmanship. So, you shouldn’t trust this brand and their factory, so to speak, if you don’t want to take off your sheepskin coat and run to cleanse yourself of the consequences of wearing it.

Advantages:
Good design
Flaws:
Disgusting quality of the skins, sewn from pieces of different shrinkage, after dry cleaning they are greatly deformed, the whole thing is somehow wavy
I want to share my impression of my first and last, judging by the quality, purchase in Sagitta.
In 2014, I bought a sheepskin coat; with all the “super discounts” it cost 43 thousand rubles. After the first season of wearing, no dry cleaner would take care of it, they warned that the clothes in Sagitta and the Snow Queen were of very poor quality, and the technologists prohibited the dry cleaning of items from there. But one dry cleaner did take it, but it didn’t add any joy to me later, after cleaning the sheepskin coat shrank 2 sizes, began to stand up and rustle, in general, for one season, and then only with great stretch. But the model is successful, you can’t complain about it. So, now I also avoid this store ten times over, no matter how tempting the offers are.
Caring for a Tuscan sheepskin coat
There is an opinion that such a sheepskin coat requires some special care. In fact, a Tuscan sheepskin coat is an unpretentious thing. You should not clean it yourself; you need to take it to a dry cleaner. The only thing we recommend doing at home is combing the fur. This is especially true for the outer parts - cuffs, collars. It is also necessary to carefully comb the fur inside so that it is fluffy, does not become curly and does not come out on clothes. No matter how high-quality the fur is, some of the fibers will still fall out.
Advantages of lamb sheepskin coats
Lamb-style sheepskin coats have a number of undoubted advantages, which makes them popular among the fair sex:
- lightness of materials (despite the external breadth of the product and the bulkiness of the fabrics, the winter item remains light and beautiful);
- thermal insulation (able to retain heat even in severe frosts);
- naturalness (during processing the material is not impregnated with anything, but this is not required);
- beauty (fashion designers offer a wide variety of styles and models).
Warm winter lamb-style sheepskin coats deserve the close attention of women who want to purchase a sheepskin coat. Catalogs of leather and fur salons are pleased to present a large selection of products in the Lamb style.
Styles
In the store you can find a wide variety of sheepskin coats. Women's (Tuscan or sheepskin with Tuscan collar) come in different lengths. Sheepskin coats with large hoods, which can be folded out like a collar if desired, are in fashion. These sheepskin coats from Tuscany (the photos prove this) look very impressive. The most practical length is knee length or lower. Tuscany is a fur for cold weather, so the decision to sew short jackets with such fur seems unjustified, because in thirty- and forty-degree frost the entire lower half of the body will simply freeze.
Men's sheepskin coats from Tuscany
Men's sheepskin coats made from Tuscan lamb are much less common than women's ones. Firstly, because men follow fashion less, and secondly, because they are less cold. However, if a man wants to feel comfortable even in the most severe cold, then he cannot find a better option than Tuscany. The styles of these sheepskin coats are similar. As a rule, they are straight, mid-thigh length. The only difference is the style. There are classic sheepskin coats, and there are more sporty ones. Both of them can be combined with a wide variety of clothing options (jeans, business suit, etc.). Tuscany is an ideal option for men who love sheepskin coats. Men's models, as a rule, have a rich turn-down collar and cuffs that can be turned away.
What to wear with?
Lamb-style sheepskin coats go well with various wardrobe items. They can be combined with a business look, casual jeans or even an evening dress. The main thing is to choose the model correctly and according to your figure.
Catalogs of organizations offer products of various lengths, and on social networks, such as Instagram, they offer many options for combining them with skirts, trousers, dresses and even shorts. The choice is only up to the owner of fashionable outerwear.
Lamb sheepskin coats on the official website of the suppliers are presented in various versions, where every girl can choose exactly what she likes. It is important to choose the right sheepskin coat so that the quality and beauty meet all the stated requirements.

Tuscan sheepskin coat: customer reviews
Most reviews about this type of winter clothing are positive. First of all, the warmth of the product is assessed. Those who have once tried to wear a sheepskin coat from Tuscany already know that you don’t need warmer clothes for the winter. It can withstand frosts up to 30 degrees. Moreover, many say that you can feel comfortable even at lower temperatures. Buyers also note the durability of the sheepskin coat: it retains its good appearance for 4 years (which is quite decent for a sheepskin coat). The only negative characteristic that a sheepskin coat from Tuscany receives is the price. It is really higher than for sheepskin coats made of mouton. But the price is justified by the quality and external data. Short sheepskin coats with Tuscan lamb fur cost from 20 thousand. And prices for a high-quality sheepskin coat to the knee or below start from 40 thousand rubles. An undoubted advantage is the beauty and effectiveness of a Tuscan sheepskin coat (photos cannot always convey how the product actually looks).
A few words about fur: reviews and properties
Essentially it is a type of sheepskin. In Italy, in the town of Tuscany, a special breed of sheep was bred, the wool of which differed in appearance from ordinary sheepskin. You can see what it looks like in the photo below.
You can often get confused which animal this fur belongs to due to unreliable information on the Internet or given by an unscrupulous seller. Here and there there is information that this is supposedly a goat, but nothing of the kind - Tuscany is exclusively sheep's fur! And no matter what other animal is given to you as the “source” of Tuscany, it will not be so.
Another strange myth is that it is supposedly faux fur. This also has nothing to do with reality; this fur is exclusively natural.
The third oddity, which is often written about on the Internet in various articles, is that this fur climbs a lot. Moreover, the reviews for it are quite positive - you shouldn’t expect miracles from it, but there aren’t many downsides, contrary to stereotypes. Tuscany climbs no more than ordinary sheepskin. Problems can arise while the sheepskin coat or jacket is still new - trimmed hairs fall out of the seams. This is also noticeable if the jacket does not have a lining and the fur is in contact with the clothing. If it is a knitted jacket or sweater (which is natural to expect in winter), then hairs can get stuck in textured fabrics and fall out of the skin.
The price for it generally fits within the sheepskin range and is unlikely to surprise you much.
As for the properties of Tuscany, it is a very warm fur, but it cannot be called warmer than other types of sheepskin, which is what sellers sometimes do when they tell a potential buyer that Tuscany is the warmest fur. And if we take into account that the core of the skin is quite thin, then its thermal insulation qualities may be even lower than that of jackets made from other types of sheepskin. But things from Tuscany are quite light and this is their undoubted advantage!
Underwater rocks
Very often, unscrupulous sellers want to pass off a product made from goat fur as a sheepskin coat from Tuscany. The fact is that goat fur is just as long. However, it does not have a down and is less dense. To the touch it is easy to distinguish from Tuscany. Therefore, you need to be vigilant when buying furs. Some sheepskin coats (for men) are sewn from wolf skin; with special dressing, a non-specialist can also confuse these furs. You should pay attention to the price. In most cases, price equals quality. The seller can lower the price deliberately, knowing all the shortcomings of the item, trying to lure the buyer. If in the first days of wearing, particles of fur and lint remain on the clothes, this does not mean that you were sold a low-quality product. A small amount of fur will fall out in any case, especially at first. When all the cut, damaged fibers fall out during the sewing and processing of fur, then there will no longer be traces of wearing a sheepskin coat on the clothes. To avoid unpleasant situations, you can brush your sheepskin coat with a thick brush before wearing it. It is especially worth paying attention to dyed fur. The paint dries out the lint, and during painting a lot of lint is damaged, so it falls out more.
