6. Material Guide – What to Know About Leather & Shearling
When buying a trench, material knowledge is key. Here’s a quick guide to choosing the right leather and lining:
Leather Types:
· Full Grain Leather: The most durable and premium, ages well
· Top Grain Leather: Slightly corrected surface for uniformity, still high quality
· Corrected/Bonded Leather: Budget-friendly, less breathable and ages poorly
Shearling vs Faux:
· Real Shearling (like in our trenches): Natural, breathable and warm
· Faux Shearling: Lower maintenance, vegan-friendly, less insulating
If you’re splurging, always go full grain + real shearling. These combos provide long-term value and visual appeal.
For even more rugged utility, you might want to layer with a Men’s Shearling Vest if you’re going through different temperatures.

For Style:
· Button-up shirts or thin turtlenecks
