Genuine shearling. Unmatched warmth. Timeless style. Avanzar Leather's shearling jacket collection is built for those who refuse to settle for anything less than the real thing — real leather, real wool, real craftsmanship.
Shearling is one of the oldest and most effective natural insulators known to man. When you combine a full-grain leather exterior with a dense, natural wool lining, you get a jacket that keeps you warm in brutal cold without the bulk of synthetic alternatives. Avanzar Leather's shearling jacket collection brings together the finest hides and the most skilled craftsmen to deliver pieces that are as functional as they are iconic.
Every shearling jacket in this collection is made from genuine sheepskin or premium leather paired with authentic shearling wool never synthetic fleece, never imitation fur. The result is a jacket that regulates body temperature naturally, breathes in milder weather, and insulates deeply when temperatures drop. These are jackets built to last decades, not seasons.
Every Avanzar Leather shearling jacket uses only full-cut, unpatched hides with authentic wool lining. We never use bonded leather, faux shearling, or synthetic fill in any piece in this collection.
The difference between a great shearling jacket and a mediocre one comes down to materials and construction. Here's exactly what you're getting.
Natural wool that traps heat without overheating. Breathable, moisture-wicking, and incredibly soft against the skin.
The strongest, most durable layer of the hide. Naturally water-resistant and develops a rich patina with age.
Brass and nickel YKK zippers on every closure. Smooth, reliable, and built to last as long as the jacket itself.
Every seam is double-stitched with waxed thread for maximum strength at stress points collars, cuffs, and pockets.
Structured to sit perfectly on the shoulders and move naturally with the body — no stiffness, no bulk, no restriction.
All leather and shearling is sourced from tannery-certified suppliers. Traceable, responsible, and premium quality.

The market is flooded with jackets that call themselves "shearling" but use synthetic fleece or bonded leather. Here's how to tell the difference and why it matters.
Genuine shearling is sheepskin that has been tanned with the wool still attached. The leather side faces out, the wool side faces in. It's naturally breathable, temperature-regulating, and gets softer with wear. No synthetic material replicates this.
Faux shearling is polyester fleece bonded to a synthetic backing. It looks similar at first glance but pills quickly, traps moisture, and breaks down within a few seasons. It also lacks the natural insulating properties of real wool.
Avanzar Leather uses only genuine shearling authentic sheepskin or premium leather paired with real wool lining. Every piece in this collection is clearly labeled with its exact materials so you always know exactly what you're buying.
When you buy a shearling jacket from Avanzar Leather, you're buying a piece that will still look and perform beautifully in ten years. That's the difference real materials make.
Shearling jackets have a naturally structured feel due to the thickness of the leather and wool lining. A proper fit means the shoulders sit exactly at your shoulder seam, the chest closes comfortably without pulling, and the sleeves reach your wrist bone with a slight break.
Keep in mind that genuine leather will break in over the first 20 to 30 hours of wear and mold slightly to your body shape. The shearling lining also compresses gently with wear, giving you a more personalized fit over time. If you plan to layer underneath, size up by one. We offer custom sizing for any measurements outside our standard XS to 5XL range — just reach out before ordering. Browse our full range of men's shearling jackets to find your perfect fit.
Genuine shearling is durable but benefits from proper care. After exposure to rain or snow, shake off excess moisture and hang the jacket on a wide-shouldered hanger in a cool, well-ventilated space. Never use a dryer or direct heat source this will shrink the wool and crack the leather.
For the leather exterior, apply a quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the hide supple. For the shearling wool interior, use a soft bristle brush to restore the pile after heavy use. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap only never submerge shearling in water. For deep cleaning, take it to a professional leather and suede cleaner. With basic care, your Avanzar shearling jacket will last decades.
