Shearling is a material made from the skin of a recently shorn sheep or lamb that has been tanned and treated, but the wool is still attached

. It is a type of fur, with one side made of suede and the other side made of fur that has been trimmed. Usually, the suede side is worn on the outside of the garment

. Shearling is not sheared wool, but rather the sheep's skin that has been tanned while the wool is still attached to it

. The wool on shearling is much denser than synthetic shearling, and genuine shearling is also smoother and softer to the touch than synthetic shearling
