Answered

Q: Is a Shearlings and Sheepskins or other
fur as warm as an unsheared one?
A: Yes. The warmth of the fur
is determined by its wool and its under-fur, which acts as an
insulator. Whether or not the longer guard hairs are sheared
off, the under-fur remains intact and therefore provides the
same warmth. |
