Yes, I wanted shearling, but this coat caught my eye and like I said, I thought it was shearling. When I heard what it was, though, I still wanted it.
Negotiated the price down. Sale price was $4,000... got it for less, though.
OK, my whole point to my post was that wearing real fur is obnoxious and self-absorbed. And so what do you guys talk about? You talk about the leather and shearling coats you bought!!! And when you're talking about sheep skin coats, boots, etc., you MUST REALIZE that to get the sheep's skin.......THEY HAVE TO KILL THE SHEEP!!!! Same thing w/leather - no matter if it's lamb, cow, goat,......THEY HAVE TO KILL THE ANIMAL TO GET THE SKIN!!! HELLO!!!
