New
Zealand sheepskin slippers, coats, and jackets as well as Australian
sheepskin slippers, are well known to be the worlds best. In the
last 30 years this has come to world attention with the invention
of ugg boots, ugg slippers, or just plain uggs which are worn all
over the world, especially after wearing ski boots. Sheepskin jackets
from New Zealand are increasingly popular due to the success of
Ugg Boots and other sheepskin products from New Zealand and Australia.
For
Sheepskin Jackets – or shearling jackets and vests, shearling sheepskins
are used from lambs of about 6 months old, only select skins can
be used. So of course Australian Sheepskin and New Zealand Sheepskin
would have the best selection because this is where all the sheep
are.
New Zealand has 6 main sheep breeds with most being Romney (58%).
There are about 46 million Sheep in New Zealand alone – other types
of sheep include Coopworth, Merino Corriedale, perendale, half breeds,
and several others. With this many sheep – we can pick out the best.

Years
of research and experience has given Canterbury leather the edge
in making the best and most comfortable Ugg Boot style. One
secret is to use lambskin, so they are really lambskin slippers,
not just sheepskin slippers. Another is to use rubber soles for
cushioning and grip on snow and ice so the ugg boots make great
after ski boots.
New
Zealand Nature Co (Maruia Catalogue) is proud of its relationship
with Canterbury Leather Co and being able to supply the world's
best quality sheepskin products for a reasonable price. Canterbury
Leather Co has been making sheepskin slippers and sheepskin jackets
for over 25 years and is well known as the top of the line manufacturer
of premium quality sheepskin jackets, sheepskin slippers, and shearling
jackets. Shearling jackets are made from the leather of spring lambs
which are the most supple and have the softest wool.
Slinkskin
gloves – made from baby lambskin or slinkskins are the premium
of all sheepskins. This is the skin of lambs that have died naturally
during the harsh winter conditions or were stillborn. Lambskin gloves
from slinkskins are the best ever for driving gloves because of
the suppleness of the leather and the fine warm curly fleece. Check
our gift shop for our lambskin driving gloves – you don’t need to
drive to appreciate the suppleness and warmth in this lightweight
lambskin glove.
Canterbury
leather makes their ugg boots and other sheepskin slippers for New
Zealand Nature Catalogue using premium lambskin and split suede
cowhide (for reinforcing toe caps and heels) and especially for
the uggs they use pure rubber soles for grip. The boot upper is
made with New Zealand shorn lambskin. These pelts are considered
the worlds best in the world for foot wear manufacturing as the
wool is dense and fine while the pelts are strong and have few blemishes.
The
cowhide suede heel and toe supports guarantees years of hard wear.
The heel stiffener of the Ugg boots is molded on a three dimensional
molding machine.
Very few manufacturers would have this technology available to make
rubber soles. This feature ensures that the heel support conforms
to the shape of your foot so you have a proper fitting slipper.
There is nothing worse that a sloppy fit for you expensive ugg slippers
or other style sheepskin slippers. Canterbury leather calls their
ugg boot style a “Supertread”. It is not a high boot – just high
enough to make you as cosy as possible for indoor or outdoors during
cold weather – Great for driving also. Just pull them on.
