“Short sheepskin coats - jackets are most often made from natural sheepskin and have short and trimmed fur. For additional insulation, synthetic winterizer is used. Among young people you can still find short sheepskin coats—leather jackets; the bottom and sleeves can be trimmed with fur. From an environmental and animal protection point of view, this type of clothing is outdated. Today there are many lighter, warmer materials available for all weather conditions.” Wikipedia
Composition of sheepskin coats
The price factor determined the emergence of sheepskin linens and fabrics. Most often it is a synthetic material or a mixed version: a knitted base and faux fur. Sheepskin fabric is not inferior in its characteristics to sheepskin, but in terms of price parameters, ease of care, and ease of processing it leaves natural material far behind.
Labeling system for products made from natural fur
Fur marking takes into account the following things:
- tanned whole skins and parts thereof;
- things that will be entirely or partially made of fur inside;
- things on which the fur is attached to the outside and will be part of it.

What are sheepskin coats made of: what materials and sewing and processing technologies are used
Good evening!
I’m asking for help from experienced people, I have a test project coming up, I’ve chosen the topic of a sheepskin coat, maybe someone has sewn it, tell me how. I saw 3 options for seams, patch, connecting and connecting with stitching, so tell me, with connecting seams, would it be better to shave the fabric so as not to create thickness? Fasteners, just buttons and snaps? How can you decorate a sheepskin coat? And can anyone suggest some interesting cuts? Images? Thanks in advance Something like this. I also found on the Internet that they paint sheepskin coats with special paints, designed for “daily wear” and dry cleaning, maybe someone heard that, it’s just interesting and beautiful! Can't you burn it?
