Even though it’s freezing outside, your sense of fashion doesn’t have to go by the wayside. Why not stay warm with a delightfully cozy and chic shearling coat? 6 Avenue Tailor has been providing expert alteration services to New Yorkers for decades.

They’re here to discuss the best type of shearling to purchase this winter to stay both toasty and stylish in cold temperatures:

• Toscana Shearling: Although all shearling is warm, Toscana shearling is the crème de la crème for luxurious winter toastiness in the coldest climates. Toscana’s straight, long fur provides excellent insulation and a lovely soft feel. This material is excellent for winter coats, and can also be used for cozy throw pillows and cushions.
• Tigrada Sheepskin: Another sublimely warm type of shearling is Tigrada sheepskin. This type of shearling has long, curly fur that adds flair to any winter coat while also insulating you from the elements on particularly frigid days. Whether you’re looking for a shearling coat, jacket, or vest, you won’t be disappointed with Tigrada sheepskin.
• Merino Sheepskin: The fluffy fur of Merino sheepskin makes this material more lightweight than Toscana and Tigrada sheepskin but still very cozy. This is a perfect shearling for the more moderate days of winter. If you’re shopping for Merino, note that the finest Merino sheepskin comes from Portugal.
• Tornado Shearling: If you plan to wear your shearling coat or vest in moderate climates this winter, tornado shearling is the way to go. The light, curly fur of Tornado shearling gives any clothing item a unique and sophisticated touch, and will be enough to keep you comfortable on mildly chilly days.
