I'm cold. Is there a US company that makes a classic/iconic sheepskin coat?

I'm thinking Redford:

Found these guys in NY, but have no idea as to quality:

There sure is. It's a hop skip and a jump from Yellowstone Park. I stopped by the place. Nice stuff.

I saw some of their stuff last week. Where is the store actually located? Jackson Hole?

My father lives a couple hours from Yellowstone

Yep Jackson Hole. I would've hung around Jackson Hole for a day or two but I was outrunning a blizzard. There was no way I was going to get snowed in. LOL.

Thought you'd have the answer, thanks.

Should I go for the Bob Redford?

It's your choice Lefty! I would go with the first one if it were me.

You might be able to pull off the second one but you'll need the Russian Mink hat to really pull it off. LOL!

The Roosevelt coat would rock a 1940's football game.

If you are going for the second one... go long. It can double as a blanket in front of the fire at the cabin.

As with every garment, there is the question of quality. Shearlings and leathers are a whole world and maybe you want to research the different companies and their products before you buy. Unfortunately, these topics are not frequently discussed on the forum and the info here is limited.

I was wondering where Vox got that furry jacket of his.
