Shera has two sides: a textured wooly side with a soft, sheep-like material comparable to real fleece, and the other side is a smooth knit shell. Also called faux-sheepskin or faux-shearling, not only is sherpa a more animal-friendly fabric, but it's also a lot cheaper than genuine wool-and just as cozy. It's a popular alternative to wool fleece, which is collected through the process of shearing the fluffy coat of sheep and other mammals, which is then processed into cloth. Named after the Sherpa people of Nepal, sherpa is very insulating, plush, and lightweight. Unlike wool, sherpa is a type of synthetic fleece made from cotton, a synthetic fiber like polyester, or a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers that mimics the bumpy texture of natural wool fleece. Are sheep and goats two completely different-although very closely related-species? Technically yes, but for the sake of the analogy, just let me have this one, okay? Get it? Sherpa looks and feels like wool, which comes from sheep. The Sherpa Lined Flannel Shirt is designed with a relaxed fit, a scoop hemline, pleats at the wrist, an adjustable button closure, all in a cotton plaid woven fabric, and finished with a sherpa lining and collar.
