What distressing is
A tannery finishing process. The hide is treated so the surface tone varies — lighter across raised areas, darker in creases and recesses — imitating the way leather actually ages through years of wear.
It is not damage, and it is not a shortcut on quality. It does mean every panel differs from every other and no two jackets are identical, which is the point rather than a flaw. If you want an even, uniform finish, choose a plain shearling instead.
One real advantage: because the surface already carries variation, genuine wear blends into it. Scuffs that would stand out on an even hide simply disappear.
Cut for women
Shearling is thick, so fit errors that a thin jacket hides show clearly here. A men's block sized down drops the shoulder seam past the shoulder point and bunches the sleeve head.
This is drafted on a women's pattern — narrower shoulder, shorter sleeve so the cuff finishes at the wrist, shorter back length. It stays substantial, because shearling always is, but the proportions are deliberate.
Fit, wear and honest notes
Take your normal size — the pattern already allows for the fleece. Keep the rest of the outfit slim: the jacket has volume, so slim trousers and boots balance it far better than wide-leg trousers and trainers.
Honest points: heavy and bulky, both of which are the warmth. Avoid heavy rain, never dry it near direct heat, and use a specialist sheepskin cleaner rather than a standard dry cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is distressed leather damaged?
No. It is a tannery finish that varies the surface tone to imitate natural ageing.
Will my jacket match the photos exactly?
Closely, but distressed hide is irregular by design and no two are identical.
Does the finish hide wear?
Yes — real scuffs blend into the existing variation.
Is it cut for women?
Yes — narrower shoulder, shorter sleeve and back length, not a men's block sized down.
Should I size up?
No. The pattern already allows for the fleece thickness.
How should it be cleaned?
Brush the wool, wipe the hide, and use a specialist sheepskin cleaner — never a standard dry cleaner.
