Sheepskin Boots Topped Black Friday Online Searches for Fashion Items

Whether you look forward to or absolutely dread the annual holiday shopping event that is Black Friday, you probably couldn’t resist hopping online the day after Thanksgiving to see what sort of crazy deals were out there. And if you happened to search for “sheepskin boots” while perusing the web, you were among the group of savvy shoppers who helped launch the item to the top spot for Black Friday shopping searches for fashion items. That’s right, tried-and-true sheepskin boots beat out other long-time fashion favorites for Black Friday and Christmas shopping in general, like North Face jackets and Nike Air Jordan sneakers, and even must-haves in the electronics department, like computer tablets and video game consoles.

Women’s Sheepskin Boots and Slippers

UGG sheepskin boots in particular were the most searched-for fashion item on Black Friday, but with prices ranging from $130 to $700 for a pair of UGG-brand shearling boots, the cozy footwear is simply out of reach for the average shopper. That’s where we come in. Here at The Sheepherder, we offer a wide range of comfortable and durable sheepskin boots and slippers at incredibly affordable prices. On Black Friday, sheepskin boots were the most popular product in the “Women’s Shopping” category, and were also ranked third in the “Best Gifts for Adults” category. We have a number of different styles of shearling boots for women, including the classic Minnetonka Ladies Pug boot, the Ladies Tramper shearling boot and the Ankle Hi Pug boot for women.

Five Stylish Sheepskin Accessories for Winter

It’s easy to throw fashion sense to the wind when it’s cold and gloomy outside, but just because there’s a chill in the air doesn’t mean you have to hibernate under the covers all winter long, nor do you have to sacrifice style to keep warm when you do decide to venture outside the house. The great thing about cold weather is that it gives you the opportunity to experiment with layers, colors and prints, turning just a few everyday pieces and some carefully selected accessories into days of warm, stylish outfits. So in the spirit of making a wintertime style statement, we have compiled a list of the top five sheepskin accessories that will make you look and feel great during the upcoming winter season.

1.               The Sheepskin Boot – A quality pair of sheepskin boots should be a part of everyone’s winter wardrobe; one, because they will keep you exceptionally warm in even the coldest weather, and two, because they can help expand your clothing options. For example, if you’re just dying to wear your favorite skirt and a pair of tights, but you woke up to a cold frost, pair the outfit with a high Minnetonka sheepskin boot and it won’t matter how chilly it is outside. Or, if you’re planning to stay around the house, try out a pair of luxurious shearling slippers and your toasty feet will thank you!

2.                  The Sheepskin Coat or Jacket – If you want to don a dressy outfit in winter and sheepskin boots aren’t an option, consider trading out your flimsy trench coat for a long shearling coat or jacket that is just as stylish and will keep you even warmer. There are a variety of style options when it comes to sheepskin jackets, including the Ladies Classic Sheepskin Coat and the Ladies Cattleman Sheepskin Coat, both of which hit below the hips and are appropriate for a casual evening or a night out on the town.

3.                The Shearling Hat or Earband – When the weather outside is frightful, a beautiful, cozy sheepskin hat or earband is a delightful addition to any outfit. If you’re out running errands or picking the kids up from school, our Ladies Sheepskin Aviator Hat is the perfect solution for a chilly winter day. The classic design of the shearling bomber hat is timeless, and extra details like the Velcro chin strap help keep the heat in and the cold out. For outings that require dressier attire, check out our Ladies Sheepskin Earband, a more subtle, fashionable accessory guaranteed to keep your ears toasty warm.

4.                 Sheepskin Mittens or Designer Gloves – Nothing keeps your hands warmer in winter than a pair of authentic sheepskin mittens, made with soft wool on the inside and durable suede on the outside that blocks the chilly wind. For a more trendy and practical option, try our designer sheepskin gloves, available in a variety of colors to match virtually any outfit. These simple but sleek driving gloves are made from authentic sheepskin, so they are guaranteed to be exceptionally warm, comfortable and stylish, whether you’re going for a drive or talking a walk around town.

5.                 The Shearling Vest – Before the snow really starts to fall, you might be able to get away with just a sheepskin vest, which is custom-made to order and is guaranteed to be a perfect fit. The shearling vest is a versatile garment that can be worn year-round regardless of the weather, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. With shawl collars, slim feminine lines and genuine antler toggle closures, both our Ladies Silverheels and Ladies Wrangler Shearling Vests are stylish outerwear options for winter.

SJP Digs Sheepskin Boots

Sarah Jessica Parker has been a global fashion icon since her days playing Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City, although her style in real life is far more refined than the wacky outfits she wore on the beloved television series. Today, the mother of three seems to favor casual jeans over cocktail dresses and definitely slips into comfortable and stylish sheepskin boots more often than Manolo Blahniks. Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t only treat herself to shearling boots though; her children are often spotted wearing the cozy and fashionable footwear as well, usually while walking around New York City with their mom. Before you know it, SJP’s long-time husband Matthew Broderick may be the proud owner of his own pair of men’s sheepskin boots as well!

For those of you who were devoted fans of Sex and the City, you may be shocked to learn that Sarah Jessica Parker has a favorite outfit that strays from the colorful and expensive high-fashion wardrobe she made famous on the show. Take a look at these photos of the actress and you’ll see that, in most cases, SJP prefers putting on a pair of comfortable jeans, a cozy sweater and warm sheepskin boots, whether she is running errands in New York City or spending time with her family at their second home in Ireland. More often than not, when Sarah Jessica Parker is out on the town, she is accompanied by her son James, or twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, who sport their own adorable sheepskin boots for kids.

In most of the photos of SJP wearing shearling boots, the footwear looks the same: simple and tan or brown, sometimes with a small heel and sometimes with a sheepskin flap encircling the top of the boot for added warmth and an attractive touch. Comfortable, durable and stylish footwear is not always easy to find, but Sarah Jessica Parker proves that a good pair of shearling boots can be your go-to footwear for any outfit, season and locale. Sheepskin is a luxurious material that naturally wicks away moisture from the body, so shearling boots will keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer. While most people wouldn’t be too quick to take fashion advice from Carrie Bradshaw when it comes to everyday wear, Sarah Jessica Parker definitely hit the target with her sheepskin boots!

Celebrities in Slippers: A Hot New Fashion Trend

Sporting slippers as outdoor footwear isn’t just for grandma and grandpa anymore; it has emerged in the past couple of years as a hot fashion trend for male celebrities like Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt and even Kanye West. Slippers in general are comfortable and convenient, and when paired with a fashionable suit or casual wear, the right kind of slipper can add a little pop of style that will help you stand out in a crowd. Unfortunately, many of the slippers worn by our favorite celebrities cost upwards of $400, which is probably a little out of the target price range for those of us without a fortune at our fingertips. Lucky for you, here at The Sheepherder, we have high-quality sheepskin slippers that will keep you cozy and stylish at the same time, and the price is definitely right.

Men’s Indoor/Outdoor Sheepskin Slippers

Once a simple bedroom staple, sheepskin and other types of slippers have evolved recently into an international fashion statement, coveted by the most fashion-conscious celebrities, both male and female. For men, one of our more popular shearling slipper styles is the Minnetonka twin gore sheepskin slipper, an easy slip-on shoe with a hard rubber indoor/outdoor sole that can be worn any time of year. The inside of the Minnetonka slipper is shearling wool, a naturally insulating material that keeps your feet warm in cold weather but wicks away moisture in warmer temperatures to keep your feet from sweating. The outer portion of the sheepskin slipper is a natural, durable hide that adds a classic accent to any man’s outfit.

Ladies’ Shearling Slippers and Ankle Boots

Two of our most popular sheepskin slippers for women are the mule slipper and the ankle boot, both of which are made by Minnetonka, a staple of American style since the 1940s. The ladies mule slipper features a convenient open-back style so it can be easily slipped on and off, and a hard slip-resistant sole for extra durability and traction indoors and out. The ladies ankle boot is a stylish slip-on boot that boasts a warm, cozy sheepskin interior and a hide exterior that offers both a classic look and a durable construction. The shearling slipper can be worn any time of year, and features a sheepskin flap that folds up around your ankles for added warmth in cold weather.

Sheepskin Slippers for Men, Women and Kids

Keeping up with the latest fashion statement isn’t always easy, but our custom-made shearling slippers at The Sheepherder can help you get an edge up on the trend this time around. All of our sheepskin products are constructed by hand using the highest quality materials, which means they are made with comfort and durability in mind. With their attractive design and quality construction, our shearling footwear is the perfect complement to any outfit, whether you’re just running errands or going out on the town. Our sheepskin slippers have a classic appearance, which makes them a versatile addition to any wardrobe, and we have options for men, women and even children, so you can outfit the entire family in sheepskin this summer!

How to Care for Your Sheepskin Garments

All of our shearling garments at The Sheepherder are hand-made with authentic sheepskin hides, which means they will last for a long time, but taking proper care of the sheepskin is an essential component of the material’s durability and appearance. This means that certain commercial products should be used to protect the suede or leather from water spotting and soiling, while others can be used to safely remove spots without damaging the supple material. The two most important things to remember when caring for sheepskin garments are to avoid setting by cleaning the stain or spot as soon as it occurs, and to use the following preventative care techniques to protect your shearling from stains that may be tough to remove without having it professionally cleaned. Sheepskin is a naturally durable product, and our high-quality shearling garments are made to last. With the following care and cleaning methods, you can make sure yours does!

Protecting Sheepskin from Light Spots and Stains

Because most sheepskin slippers, jackets and other shearling garments are made to be worn outside, we recommend two products that can be used to protect and care for your sheepskin outerwear. First, the outer shearling hide – which is called suede or “Brisa” leather – should be sprayed with a non-silicone rain and stain guard made especially for leather or suede. This product will shield the sheepskin hide against water spotting and will also help the garment resist soiling. Second, a suede conditioner or cleaner can be used to remove spotting in most cases, although when shearling products become significantly soiled, it is often best to bring them to a professional dry cleaner that specializes in leather or furs. The inner wool of any sheepskin garment can be touched up with a combination of water and Woolite, although it’s important to remember that you should never soak through to the suede when cleaning shearling. When it’s nearly dry, brush the wool to fluff it up.

Cleaning Tough Stains on Shearling Garments

For tougher stains on your shearling garment, such as liquid or grease spots, you can try applying a layer of cornstarch directly to the stain and allowing it to sit for one or two days, or longer. Once the liquid or stain has been absorbed, vacuum up the cornstarch with a handheld vacuum or with a brush attachment on a regular vacuum cleaner. If you ever wear your sheepskin coat or slippers outside and they become significantly wet from rain or snow, be sure to dry the garment slowly without using direct heat. Once the product is completely dry, you can remove water spots with a suede sponge or brush, which you can find at your local leather store. When using a suede brush or sponge, always brush in the reverse of the nap, to avoid damaging the material, and never use a regular sponge or rag to clean your sheepskin jacket, as this can cause tearing or spots.

Emma Watson Favors Edgy Leather and Sheepskin Jacket On the Go

Ever wonder what types of clothing the rich and famous rely on when they are busy filming movies, traveling from coast to coast, and otherwise keeping up with their insanely busy lives? Up-and-coming British actress and star of the Harry Potter films, Emma Watson, is one celebrity who somehow effortlessly combines comfort and class to create some of the most casual yet stylish travel wardrobes out there. And judging by recent photos of Miss Emma Watson departing from LAX airport and dashing around New York, the 22-year-old star has at least one go-to item in her impressive wardrobe: an edgy leather and sheepskin jacket.

Plenty of celebrities are on board with the sheepskin look, sporting sheepskin jackets, boots and other shearling clothing in a variety of colors and designs. And why not? Not only is sheepskin incredibly warm and comfortable, but it’s also a product that matches practically any outfit and never seems to go out of style, making it one no-brainer of an investment. When it comes to long flights, shooting films and honing her multi-tasking skills, Emma Watson seems to rely on the same sheepskin jacket to keep her warm and comfortable on the go. The actress’ favorite jacket features a cream-colored sheepskin body with edgy black leather sleeves that appear to be removable, making the coat perfect for year-round wear.

While passing through LAX, Emma Watson donned her shearling coat and completed her travel wear with a cozy watercolor sweater over top a long gray jersey top, a blue knit scarf, black leggings, blue ankle boots and Ray Ban sunglasses. On her trip to New York, Emma paired the same comfortable sheepskin jacket with a white sweater, black skinny jeans, Balenciaga low-top trainers and her stylish black Ray Bans. Because sheepskin functions as both a comfortable and fashionable apparel, whether she is off-duty or on, Emma Watson’s shearling jacket complements virtually any outfit she chooses to wear.

The fact that shearling products are favored by men, women and children of all ages, regardless of their celebrity status (or lack there of), is proof that sheepskin slippers, coats and boots are the perfect go-to accessory to add a little something extra to casual and dressy outfits alike. And while the always-stylish Emma Watson prefers to match her shearling jacket with a sweater, black leggings or skinny jeans and trainers, the look would be just as complete with a black dress and heels or tights and black boots for dressier events, making it the perfect addition to any wardrobe, celebrity or not!

When it comes to sheepskin coats and other shearling products, the key to purchasing the most comfortable garments made with the highest-quality materials is finding an individual or shop that makes sheepskin slippers and apparel by hand. If you buy sheepskin products from a chain or factory, you never really know what you’re going to get. On the other hand, by visiting (in person or online) authentic sheepskin shops like The Sheepherder in Alma, Colorado, you can ensure that you are going to get what you paid for: a comfortable, warm shearling jacket, coat, pair of slippers or vest, hand-crafted to fit your specific fit, style and color preferences. What’s more, custom-made sheepskin slippers and shearling jackets from authentic sheepskin shops like The Sheepherder can craft quality and comfortable custom shearling slippers for men, women and even children!

Mens Shearling Slippers and Sheepskin Footwear

Most men look for exceptional comfort and durability in their sheepskin slippers as well, which is why The Sheepherder also offers the traditional Mens Sheepskin Slipper and scuff-style shearling slipper, crafted specifically for men. Offered in a variety of colors and custom-made to order, these two styles of mens sheepskin slippers offer unrivaled durability and comfort in a stylish shearling slipper.

Imitation shearling products may resemble authentic sheepskin in appearance, but the comfort, fit and durability of The Sheepherder’s sheepskin garments and accessories are unmatched by any imitation or synthetic items. Sheepskin slippers, jackets, blankets and shearling winter wear are some of the most sought-after products on the market, due to their reputation as high-quality, comfortable and durable garments. Although there are a number of sheepskin chains and retailers offering imitation sheepskin products in the U.S., The Sheepherder of Alma, Colorado is one of the few establishments offering customers genuine sheepskin products that are custom-fit and made by hand specific to its customers’ needs.

Benefits of True Shearling Outerwear

Sheepskin, also called lambskin or shearling, is the hide of a sheep, and is tanned with the fleece intact in order to make quality and comfortable sheepskin products. Sheepskin is used to produce sheepskin leather products and a variety of soft wool-lined clothing items, including hats, gloves, jackets, boots, and Ugg-style sheepskin boots. The fleece of sheepskin has exceptional insulating properties, and is also resistant to flame and static electricity. The wool of the sheepskin used by the Sheepherder is also extremely dense, which gives these sheepskin products unmatched cushioning capability for extreme comfort and durability.

Custom-Made Sheepskin Slippers and Shearling Garments

The high-quality shearling used by the Sheepherder in making sheepskin products is one piece of continuous natural hide, which means the wool is not sewn or glued to the suede, as it may be in imitation sheepskin products. All Sheepherder sheepskin garments and items are handmade at the time of the order for a custom fit tailored to consumers’ specifications for color, style and size. The Sheepherder has been using premium products to create handcrafted sheepskin products for over twenty years, ensuring that all Sheepherder customers receive a one-of-a-kind item made with impeccable quality and attention to detail.

Shearling slippers have been a favorite for centuries, due to the unrivaled comfort and durability these products offer, compared to regular slippers. Purchasing sheepskin slippers is a great way to keep your feet comfortable, dry and warm during the winter season, and they are even ideal for the summer months as well, as the insulating qualities of sheepskin keep your feet cool even in high temperatures. Sheepskin’s durability is unsurpassed by other natural fibers and woven wool alternatives, which is why the Sheepherder uses genuine sheepskin for all its products. Sheepherder sheepskin slippers are renowned for their comfort and quality, but it is the fine craftsmanship that the Sheepherder devotes to each and every sheepskin product that sets these sheepskin items apart from those offered by competitors.

Creating Durable Sheepskin Products

The Sheepherder uses only the finest sheepskin, sheared from the skins of domestic sheep from the Rocky Mountain states. The sheep, deer and elk used for Sheepherder skins are not endangered species. The sheep are raised commercially for their meat, and their hides are tanned and processed in the United States to create high-quality Sheepherder sheepskin products. The intricate process of creating this authentic sheepskin takes twenty-one days and results in a hide that naturally wicks away moisture from the body. Sheepherder products feature top-grade lambskins for the body of the garment, with natural elk and deer antler for the buttons, and sturdy nylon thread to keep it all together. The Sheepherder uses the softest and most supple skins for jacket sleeves and collars to ensure the greatest comfort and flexibility.

One of the most valuable characteristics of sheepskin is its durability. Because sheepskin is so durable, women’s and men’s sheepskin slippers and other sheepskin products are not subject to the normal wear and tear that eventually ruin other synthetic products. Taking proper care of your sheepskin product, which includes using the recommended cleaning products, can help make it last nearly a lifetime. The Sheepherder recommends that customers use a rain and stain shield to protect the suede or leather, and a suede conditioner/cleaner should be used to remove most spotting. If sheepskin slippers or another shearling product becomes overly soiled, it should be taken to a professional dry cleaner experienced in cleaning suede and/or leather and sheepskin.

Sheepskin slippers are only one of the custom, hand-made sheepskin products designed and produced by The Sheepherder of Alma, Colorado. The shearling used by The Sheepherder to make sheepskin slippers comes from domestic sheep raised in the Rocky Mountain states, whose hides are tanned and processed in the United States. Every Sheepherder product, including the sheepskin slippers, is personally designed and crafted by owner Diane Blessing, who has been creating sheepskin garments at her Alma shop for more than twenty years. Each sheepskin slipper product crafted by The Sheepherder is produced over the course of twenty-one days, in order to create a hide that naturally wicks away moisture from the body and remains cool even in warm temperatures. Handcrafted sheepskin slippers by The Sheepherder are tailored to suit customers’ specifications for fit, style and color, and require specific attention to proper care in order to maintain the quality and integrity of the sheepskin product.

Proper Cleaning for Sheepskin Slippers

Cleaning sheepskin slippers properly requires special techniques, due to the vulnerable nature of the suede, wool and other materials used in sheepskin slippers. Sheepherder sheepskin slippers should be hand-washed or spot-cleaned, as machine washing can tear the slippers apart or tint them with colors or lint from other fabrics. If your sheepskin slippers become stained, it is important to try to clean the spot immediately, rather than allowing the stain to set. A special suede sponge or brush should be used on the suede areas of your sheepskin slippers, brushing against the nap. Regular sponges and rags should never be used to clean sheepskin, as they can cause spots or tearing. If your sheepskin slippers become overly soiled, take them to a professional dry cleaner who has experience in cleaning leather, furs or sheepskin.

Sheepskin Slippers for Winter

Avoid spending another winter with cold feet, and treat yourself to the most comfortable custom-made sheepskin slippers by The Sheepherder. All of Sheepherder’s sheepskin slippers are made of genuine sheepskin, also called shearling, which consists of one piece of continuous natural hide. Imitation sheepskin slippers are often made of wool that is glued or sewn to the suede as a separate lining. Sheepherder sheepskin slippers, on the other hand, use the natural hide and wool of the sheep, which has silky wool on one side and smooth suede on the other, providing sheepskin slippers that are of higher quality and comfort than imitation products. In addition to comfort, sheepskin slippers provide a natural warmth without making you sweat like lower quality synthetic fabrics have a tendency to do.

Extending the Life of your Sheepskin Slippers

One of the most important components of properly caring for your Sheepherder sheepskin slippers includes spraying them with non-silicone water repellant to avoid water spotting. If your sheepskin slippers ever become considerably wet, they should be dried slowly without being subjected to direct heat. Once the slippers are dry, water spots can be removed with a suede brush or sponge. Taking good care of your sheepskin slippers will help maintain the natural comfort and warmth of these custom products, which is especially important during the cold winter months. Sheepskin is naturally a durable fabric that is made to hold up to everyday wear and tear. If properly cared for, Sheepherder sheepskin slippers will look better and last longer.
