When it comes to manly outerwear a shearling jacket has to be right up there with the best of them. Originally used for keeping cowboys warm and then lining fighter pilot bomber jackets, shearling has made its way onto the runways. Brands and designers, both big and small, have embraced it this winter and it’s popping up everywhere.
But let’s be honest the real deal isn’t cheap. If you don’t have the bucks for a full shearling jacket there are some decent faux options to choose from. For those of you who are enjoying the seventies trend underpinning fashion at the moment – the shearling jacket, even if it’s just the collar, is the piece you’ve been waiting for. And guess what – we spotted the perfect denim jacket with sherpa lining at Levi’s SA – but get to a store pronto – they’re selling out fast!
