Flattering, functional and fashionable—Overland’s sheepskin coats are the ultimate winter staple.
Founded in Taos, New Mexico, Overland is a legendary outerwear brand specializing in sheepskin.
While the days of throwing on an effortless summer outfit are behind us, the colder months offer an exciting opportunity to ramp up your style with layering, chic outerwear and statement coats. The ideal winter piece is simultaneously durable, functional and stylish—three principal features of sheepskin.
From outfitting Air Force crews to Hollywood stars, sheepskin coats have long been regarded as iconic winter staples—offering unparalleled warmth and evoking individual style. The authority on this luxurious fabric, legendary outerwear brand Overland, has been crafting the highest quality sheepskin bomber jackets, vests, shearling coats and more for over half a century.
A family-run business founded in Taos, New Mexico, Overland’s team grew up in the industry, giving them the access and expertise to source the finest sheepskin in the world. Their skilled artisans handcraft each unique product with all-natural fibers, resulting in an extremely diverse collection of well-insulating pieces. Read on to learn what makes sheepskin such a special material and why it’s a winter wardrobe must-have.

Expressive Winter Style
Dressing for warmth doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your individuality or fashion sense—your winter coat is a statement about who you are. With a variety of different kinds of sheepskin and a wide range of styles to choose from, Overland offers a great mix of options you’re unlikely to find anywhere else. Whether you opt for an edgy bomber like the Classic Burnt Cognac Edition Sheepskin B-3 Bomber Jacket or a luxurious flared-hem coat like the Theodora Toscana Sheepskin Coat, you can easily dress your sheepskin up or down to express your aesthetic. Pro tip: add some sheepskin boots and gloves to complete the look.

Timeless Flattering Fit
We’ve all been there—throwing on a bulky garment that swallows our outfit in the name of warmth. Down jackets and puffer coats can be unflattering and visually uninteresting, whereas sheepskin coats are the opposite. Similar to leather boots and jackets, sheepskin actually contours around your body over time for a truly perfect fit. Plus, with striking accents like tailored seams, belted waists and specialty trims, Overland’s coats provide chic and flattering silhouettes that never go out of style, such as the Merino sheepskin-trimmed Alaskan Toscana Sheepskin Coat.

Highly Functional
Originally popularized during WWII, sheepskin bomber jackets were used to keep aircrews warm in unpressurized cabins at 30,000 feet—a testament to the protection and warmth the material provides. Because the material is moisture-wicking, breathable and water-resistant, sheepskin coats, though lightweight, keep your body temperature regulated regardless of fluctuations in the environment, providing comfort in both moderate and frigid climates.
Overland’s natural, high-quality materials provide unparalleled warmth and stand the test of time.
Investment Pieces
When purchasing an artisan-crafted coat, you want it to stand the test of time—it becomes an essential part of your winter wardrobe and an extension of your personality. While synthetic materials tend to tear, fade and lose their shape with wear, high-quality sheepskin retains its softness and shape for decades. Overland’s long-lasting, sustainable materials have established its coats as the most durable on the market—many customers have rocked their sheepskins for more than 20 years.
From its first hand-stitched coat in 1973, Overland has been committed to making outerwear from the finest natural fibers. Today, over 50 years and 18 new stores later, you’ll find the same level of artistry and integrity in everything Overland offers. Overland sheepskin coats are exclusively offered in Overland stores and online at Overland.com.
