Cropped Fur Jacket
This cropped faux shearling jacket pairs genuine sheepskin leather with a soft faux-shearling collar and lining, giving the cosy, textured look of shearling without the added weight or cost of a fully shearling-lined coat. The cropped fit keeps the silhouette modern and easy to layer, rather than the longer, heavier cut traditional shearling jackets are often built around.
The Leather
The outer is full-grain sheepskin at 1.2mm, finished with a smooth black pigmented surface and a soft temper that moves comfortably with the body rather than sitting stiff. Leather panels are carefully selected and cut for a clean, streamlined silhouette, avoiding the patchier look that comes from mismatched or lower-grade hide sections. It's part of our wider Women's Shearling Leather Jacket collection, alongside our fully shearling-lined styles if you want more warmth than this cropped cut is built for.
The Faux Shearling Trim
The collar and lining use a 15mm faux-shearling pile, dense and evenly distributed rather than thin or patchy, giving genuine texture and softness against the skin without using real fur. This is a deliberate material choice — faux shearling delivers the same visual warmth and tactile softness as the real thing, without the cost or care requirements genuine shearling demands.
Construction
The front closes with a YKK #8 metal zipper, a heavier-duty fitting than standard fashion zippers, chosen so the closure holds up to daily use rather than sticking or loosening within a season. Precision topstitching runs throughout using bonded nylon thread, the same construction standard covered in full on our Craftsmanship page. Not sure on fit? Our Size Guide is worth checking before you order, since a cropped silhouette sits differently than a standard-length jacket.
Styling
The cropped length pairs naturally with high-waisted jeans or trousers, letting the jacket sit at the hip rather than overwhelming the outfit. Layer it over a simple knit for daytime, or let the black leather and faux-shearling trim stand out against a plain dress for evening wear.
FAQ
Is this jacket real fur or faux?
The collar and lining use faux shearling, not real fur or shearling — a dense, soft pile designed to replicate the look and feel of genuine shearling without using animal fur.
Is the leather itself genuine?
Yes. The outer shell is full-grain sheepskin leather at 1.2mm, finished with a smooth black pigmented surface. Only the collar and lining trim is faux shearling.
How should I care for the faux shearling trim?
Faux shearling generally needs gentler handling than the leather body — avoid brushing hard against the pile, and keep it away from prolonged moisture. Spot clean where possible rather than fully wetting the trim.
