The Smart Shopper’s Guide to Buying Sheepskin This Black Friday

Black Friday can feel like a race to the checkout, but smart shopping isn’t about buying more, it’s about buying better. This season, take a moment to look beyond the price tag. Here’s how to spot genuine quality, shop consciously, and invest in pieces that last.

Know What You’re Buying: Genuine vs. Synthetic Sheepskin

Real sheepskin has a natural variation in texture and warmth that synthetic imitations can’t replicate. Look for soft, breathable fibres that feel springy rather than flat.
Tip: Genuine sheepskin will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer — a true all-season investment.

2. Check for Transparency

Brands that are proud of their sourcing will tell you where their sheepskin comes from. At Jacobs & Dalton, we work with trusted British farms and skilled tanneries to ensure ethical, sustainable production.

3. Look for Craftsmanship

Quality is in the details — from stitching to lining depth. Our slippers and rugs are hand-finished for durability and comfort that lasts for years, not months.

4. Buy Once, Buy Well

Sheepskin products are built to last, especially when cared for properly. This Black Friday, choose a few timeless pieces over multiple fleeting ones.

5. Care for What You Buy

Extend the life of your investment with simple maintenance, brushing, airing, and using gentle care products like our Suede & Nubuck Brush or Wool & Cashmere Spray.

This Black Friday, make every purchase count.
