Wikipedia

Shearling

Shearling is a skin from a recently shorn sheep or lamb that has been tanned and dressed with the wool left on. It has a suede surface on one side and a clipped fur surface on the other. Usually the suede side is worn outward. Real shearling breathes and is more flexible, much heavier in weight and the fur is much denser than synthetic. Synthetic shearling fur is typically called sherpa. Synthetic or fake shearling has a bit of a sheen to its outer side while real shearling outer hide is dull and a bit tacky to the touch. Genuine shearling is also smoother to the touch than synthetic shearling.

Examples of use of Shearling
1. Standout outfits for women included a cardigan jacket with an oversized collar in dark gray cashmere worn with a merino wool pencil skirt; a lighter gray wool wrap jacket with a band around the front of the waist worn with a slim wool pant; a simple and sophisticated cocoa–colored cashmere turtleneck dress; and a caramel shearling belted coat with a high collar.
2. Which is why this autumn we‘ll all be fighting over the little grey sweater dress, which, to me, looks suspiciously like something Cacharel has done; not to mention the A–line 60s sequin dress as worn by Sienna Miller, which model Erin O‘Connor tells me she has her eye on; or taking out an overdraft for the 6'5 shearling, which is still around half the price of one by Nicole Farhi.
