Shearling coats and jackets are easy to take care of, although you do have to keep in mind a few things to avoid accidental damage to them. Here's our care guide.If your shearling jacket gets wet, let
coat dry naturally. Don't place by a fire or other high heat source. Heat can dry out
natural oils in
hides.
Do not wash your shearling coat or jacket in a washing machine or put in a dryer. Most shearling coats are meant to be dry cleaned. When looking for a dry cleaner, make sure that they know how to properly clean a shearling coat. The process must include putting
natural oils back into
hides. Without doing this process,
hides will dry out and
coat will be ruined.
When hanging your Shearling Coat or Jacket use on a sturdy, well shaped coat hangar. Don't use a wire hanger that's going to put "pokies" in
shoulders and don't hang it up on a knob for extended periods of time.
Avoid stain resistant treatments that are made of silicone. We recommend Cavalier brand Protect-All. It will give you a layer of protection without changing
color or finish.
Do not put adhesive stickers on shearling coats or jackets, as part of
adhesive can either get left behind or
adhesive may itself pull off some of
fabric.
