Woolen coats are made from sheep skins of young sheep that were torn off once. The rune or fur remains attached to the skin and is often attached for a long time or cut to a uniform length. Sheep wool is an excellent all-weather outerwear due to their amazing breathability, oily softness and excellent insulating properties.
Despite the recent rise in popularity in shorts, they are a timeless choice of outerwear that has stood the test of fashion time. Fur is one of the oldest forms of clothing in the world. Early civilizations used the materials available to them for survival. Fur was needed in antiquity for warmth. Even in the earliest times, fur coats of rare and exotic hides were a status symbol used by kings and noblemen to show off their wealth. The demand for the fur of the rich pushed traders to develop new lands and partly contributed to the discovery of the New World. When the Europeans settled in America, they then competed for the lucrative opportunity to trade fur with Native Americans.
Most coat coats are a lowered fur coat, since the fur side is worn inside with smooth or suede leather on the outside. It was the most common way to wear fur for hundreds of years. It was in 1600 that wool became the most common for fashion aesthetics, as well as for necessity. But it was not until the late 1800s that the rich began to wear the fur side of their skins on the outside of their clothes. Having a fur exhibit added even more attractiveness and prestige for these luxury items.
Today, investing in a perpetual sheepskin coat or jac ket is all about craftsmanship and country of origin. Those made in Spain are considered the best in the world. One of the reasons is that the climate in Spain produces the most oily soft and elastic sheepskin. Also, diet and sheep breeding are associated with high quality sheepskin skins. Another country that produces high-quality shorts is Argentina. In these countries there are also excellent craftsmen who take their craft, turning sheepskin hides into luxurious jackets and coats for sewing, some of the best in the world.
Each stage of the production process requires great skill to complete in order to achieve a high level of quality. It takes about one year from the time when the farmer sells his furs until the coat is ready for purchase and delivery.
