The Genuine Spanish Shearling Coat

This is the coat made from the shearling of Spanish Merino lambs, one of the world's rarest and original breeds that could only be found in Spain up until the 18th century. Once jealously guarded by Spanish royalty--exporting the breed without the king's permission was punishable by death--the shearling used in this coat comes directly from Andalusia, the former dominion of the powerful Mesta who strictly controlled Spain's transhumant tradition. The silky-soft, interior fleece lining of the coat derives from the 22 micron-diameter wool--considered the world's finest--and is cut to a luxurious 1" uniform depth for a robust insulation layer, providing ample warmth in brisk winds, silent morning frosts, or deep freezes. The exterior of the coat is supple, velvety suede sheepskin vegetable-tanned to a soft, elegant hand. Four copper buttons and a full-length storm flap zipper secure the front. It has two front open-flap pockets. Imported. Brown. Sizes M (38-40), L (42-44), XL (46-48), and XXL (50-52).
