Sample should be made of highest quality graded shearling pelts.
Shearling is a sheepskin or lambskin pelt that has gone through a limited shearing
process to obtain a uniform depth of the wool fibers for a uniform look and feel.
Contrary to misconceptions, shearling is not sheared wool; the term refers to
the pelt of a yearling sheep that has been shorn only once by the process
described above. Shearling garments are made from the pelts by tanning
them with the wool of uniform depth still on them.

This results in the coats weighing only 2 pounds 6 ounces (1 kg 80 grams)
If regular lamb skin leather is used and a lining is added of rabbit or lamb skin,
the weight more than doubles and this is not shearling and it is not acceptable.
It is just sheared lamb skin with the fur on one side removed and a separate
lining sewn into the lamb either of lamb or something else.
A typical shearling pelt has leather, on one side and shorn fibers on the other
side. The fibers of shearling tend to wick away moisture or retain moisture,
depending on humidity, and thus a garment or item of footwear made from
them tends to be comfortable year round
Manufacturers seem to call a coat made out of sheared lamb pelts a
"shearling" but Sheared lamb is not shearling.
We are looking for a manufacturer that knows the difference.
