    Species of sheep for sheepskin/shearling

    It was a sincere question. I'm interested in the actual species of sheep, such as Merino, Devon, etc. that were used at various times throughout the war. I've seen pics that suggest the Brits and Americans had different approaches to their shearling, no doubt driven by wartime expediency.

    Species of sheep for sheepskin/shearling

    Hello All, new member here. I have a question about the various species of sheep that were used for sheepskin/shearling jackets by the US and the UK (and Commonwealth) during WW2. Is there a post on this topic already or can someone point me to a decent resource? Thank you, Michael
