Shearling Hat Retail Stores

Sheepskin shearling hats - wool warmth with a suede face

Shearling is sheepskin with the wool left on: one side suede, the other a dense, curly fleece, which makes it one of the warmest natural hat materials there is. The store listed here is Hat Attack, which sells shearling hats within a range spanning knit, felt, fleece, suede, wool and corduroy hats in a variety of sizes and styles. Hat Attack was founded by husband-and-wife team Bill and BJ Gedney in 1981, building a fashionable hat collection that took its cue from casual lifestyle clothing; a few years later they launched Buji Baja, an expanded accessories collection named after the family's cat.

Why Shearling Is So Warm

Shearling insulates twice in one material: the wool fleece traps still air against the head - the same principle as a sheep's own coat - while the leather side blocks wind that would strip that warmth away. The result needs no separate lining and no synthetic fill, breathes better than most insulated synthetics, and stays warm across the whole range of winter temperatures rather than only in deep cold. That is why shearling appears in serious winter hats, aviator and trooper styles with ear coverage, and why Hat Attack groups it with its cold-weather suede, wool and fleece lines.

Buying and Caring for Shearling

Check the fleece density with your fingers - it should spring back, not lie flat - and check that the suede side is evenly finished with no bald or cracked patches. Fit should be snug but not tight; shearling gives very slightly with wear. Keep the hat dry: if it gets wet, let it air dry slowly away from radiators, then brush the fleece gently. Suede protector spray helps the outer face shed light snow. Store shearling uncrushed in a breathable place over summer, and use a specialist leather or sheepskin cleaner rather than washing it.
