Proper Care for Women’s Shearling Coats


Like any other piece of clothing made from animal pelts, women’s shearling coats can be extremely delicate, requiring specific maintenance measures to ensure their durability and length of use.

When the cold seasons have passed and the coat is not in use, it should ideally be sent to a professional furrier. The owner can request that the coat be cleaned and conditioned to bring back its former luster and softness. If enlisting a furrier’s services is not an option, the next best thing would be to store the shearling coat in a cool dry place, in a breathable garment bag, when it is not in use. Applying suede protection spray at least once or twice a year can also help maintain the integrity of women’s shearling coats.
