Be warned. If you're looking at this website on a cold winter's day you will almost certainly want to order something. This is a gorgeous and very well photographed range of shearling coats, jackets and gilets, including Merino, Islandic and superbly soft toscana shearling, from full length coats to chic sleeveless gilets. You can't order directly through the website but need to phone or email with the details of what's of interest (and your credit card, of course).

This is an unsophisticatedly designed website (although improving all the time) with a really marvellous collection of leather, suede and shearling clothing. They obviously know what they're doing and offer very high quality items at reasonable (though not cheap) prices. Expect to pay about £900 for the best Toscana shearling full length coat. You need to call them to order to ensure that you take the right size.

I know you're going to say it's a pity that this website isn't UK based but when you consider that the prices are excellent and that you'll receive your order in less than ten days (and that they have surely the best collection of gloves on the web) then you should have a good look round before it gets really cold out there. There are plain leather with silk or cashmere linings, contrast stitched and extra long cuffs, fur and faux fur trims and linings and the warmest of all, lined in shearling. Give them a try.

I'm sure that you'd agree with me that if you really had your choice you'd be on that plane to Florence to find your next Italian made handbag, wallet or pair of gloves, however, if that's just not possible you should have a look at this Florence based website, where you can choose from classic, beautifully made leather accessories, belts, soft leather gloves with or without fur trims and range of leather jackets. They offer UPS express shipping to anywhere in the World.

Dlux is a boutique mail-order company specialising in beautiful sheepskin and shearling collections. The collection is made of the highest quality soft and supple merino and toscana shearlings and there are two ranges, which they call Classic and Modern although everything is chic and stylish here whichever you choose. To order you need to download their Order Form and then email it to them. Alternatively you can just call them. If you're in the mood for something luxuriously soft and warm this winter take a good look here.

This is a very attractive and comprehensive range of leather, suede and shearling coats and jackets for men and women plus flying jackets and accessories such as scarves and stoles, hats, hide bags, gloves and snuggly slippers. Everything is beautifully photographed with close-ups of the sheepskins so that you can see exactly what you’re buying plus there’s lots of detailed information about each garment.

There are some excellent clothes and accessories here, particularly for the winter months, including chic Toscana shearling jackets and coats, gloves, scarves and sheepskin lined boots and slippers, waistcoats and gilets and cute shearling duffles and boots for children. Prices are reasonable and everything's really clearly pictured. If you want to order a coat or jacket you'll probably have to wait a couple of weeks so take a look now.

No these are not the real thing. You'll almost certainly be fooled when you look at them on this US based website but everything here is made of the highest quality mod-acrylic fibre which gives them the look and feel of real fur. You can choose from full length coats to modern jackets, fake fur trimmed knits, stoles and wraps and there are luxurious throws for the home as well. You will have to pay duty on anything you buy from here but for the quality nothing is overpriced.

If you like to wrap yourself in something soft and furry, but you don’t want to wear the real thing then here’s a collection of the softest faux fur coats, jackets and shrugs plus gorgeous accessories, cushions and throws. There’s a variety of styles to choose from then select from rich animal prints to snowy white or glossy black. These are perfect additions to winter evenings whether you choose a jacket to go over your evening dress or an unbelievably soft throw to snuggle up in at home.
