Musk Brown Sheepskin Driving Cap | Aster by Owen Barry

How super cool is this sheepskin cap, perfect for all ages, it is very flattering to wear, because it doesn't completely envelop your head as many hats do! - so no bad hair day here !.

That said,  if you do need more warmth, the generous sheepskin earflap easily turns down to protect your neck - especially nice and fitted into the nape,   giving more warmth to your neck and ears against any biting winds or weather.

As with all Owen Barry products, the merino sheepskin used in this style is 100% a byproduct of the food industry, from skins that we have provenanced from European LWG tanneries, this ensures that these skins are a minimum of silver level rating, assuring you of the highest ethical and environmental standards across all aspects of our production. Owen Barry is Green Growth Certified British Manufacturer.

All OB products come with a lifetime guarantee, we have been hand-cutting and making sheepskin products in Street Somerset for over 75 years - so for us, a lifetime, means a lifetime!

Ironed Sueded Sheepskin

Many people recognise Sueded Sheepskin with an ironed wool as what traditional sheepskin (or shearling) looks like, and understandably as it is by far one of the most popular sheepskin finishes.

The shearlings that we use at Owen Barry have all been hand selected to ensure that the suede surface is always soft and sensual, with a slight velvet nap on the suede.

Each skin is painstakingly matched with its neighbours to ensure that the garment is completely constant in colour and texture all over, this is a very skilled process, with many years training to perfect,  if this matching process is not carried out to the highest standard, a sheepskin coat can end up looking like a multicoloured patchwork piece, unlike many companies OB also match all the wools as well ensuring that when you open the coat, inside there is a consistency with the wool colour & finish as well. 

Ironed wool is just that, in the tanning process the wool has been ironed and polished to bring out the superb luxurious feel and finish that nature provided.
