What kind of animal is the Curlie?
Curly is a breed of sheep whose fur curls spontaneously. The skins are completely natural sheepskins. They are tanned with wool. Fur in a curly fur coat can be placed both outside and inside the product, as a lining. This sheepskin is very voluminous, but lightweight, providing maximum warmth when worn.
The first to show a new collection of curly fur coats was the Burberry fashion house. This was on show in 2010. After this, products made from Curly fur began to be introduced into many collections of outerwear. By this season they have become as widespread as possible.
All Curley fur comes from Southern Mongolia. This is the only place where sheep of this breed are raised. To make curly fur coats, the skins of lambs are taken; the fleece of adult sheep is not suitable, it is quite coarse. The fur is not separated from the skins, but natural tanning is carried out immediately. No chemicals are used in this process. Peat acids and oak extract are used for the tanning process. This process results in the lightness, wear resistance and softness of the final material. Wearing products made from Curly is very pleasant and comfortable; they do not weigh down the figure and do not restrict movement.

How much does a Curley sheep fur coat cost?
Curls have many attractive qualities: high wear resistance and heat transfer, lightness of the material, softness. Curly fur has a fairly high price due to its unique properties and rarity. The cost of a sable fur coat will, of course, be higher, but curlie is more expensive than regular sheepskin. The market today is oversaturated with a variety of expensive fur coats, but you can very often find fakes. A person who is buying a fur coat for the first time in his life probably has little understanding of fur and will not be able to distinguish one from the other. Unscrupulous sellers count on this and sell ordinary cheap sheepskin for a high price.
In order not to overpay and not make a mistake with your choice, you need to familiarize yourself with some distinctive features of Curly fur:
- the fur is tall and short, very warm;
- Curly has very small, frequent and deep curls;
- Curly leather is very similar to short-pile suede due to the natural tanning process;
- a product made from Curly fur weighs half as much as the same product made from regular sheepskin.
How to distinguish Curly fur from regular sheepskin?
Of course, given the above qualities of the Curly and its rarity, its price is quite high. Therefore, on the outerwear market you can find many fakes that proudly call themselves Curly fur, but in fact are ordinary sheepskin. How to distinguish curlie from other types of sheep fur? To do this, you need to know several characteristic differences. Here they are:
Curly lamb fur is very curly, with a very fine curl (it’s not for nothing that the name comes from the English word curly, meaning curly);
Since the tanning is natural, Curly leather looks like suede with low pile, resistant to abrasion;
The fur is thick and low, holds human warmth very well;
Curly is extremely light. For example, a sheepskin coat 110 cm long with a hood made of this material should weigh no more than 1 kilogram, while a sheepskin coat of a similar type would weigh 2 kilograms or more.

Girls, it’s crazy how quickly fashion changes. A fur coat made of such material should cost a lot of money, but instead it is sold very cheaply. As for me, the fur coat is beautiful and delicate, but in some cases it doesn’t fit with anything at all. On the other hand, this is fashion, and fashion, like art, changes over time and not everyone can understand it. But the fur coat is definitely excellent, it’s a pity that you can’t buy one in my region.
