How should I store sheepskin jackets?

Hello fellas. I have some shearling jackets that I want to put away until the winter. What's the best way to do that? should i get a garment bag? if so, can someone recommend one? thanks

Honestly, I mothball (dichlorobenzene, not napthalene) mine in big plastic tubs and duct tape the tubs shut to keep the mothball fumes in. When the weather starts to get cold, I air them out for a day in a well-ventilated area with a fan. Bonus: dichlorobenzene is an odor-eater (that's why they use it in urinal cakes), so once the jackets air out, any odors that they had before (like cigarette smoke on a vintage A-2 jacket, for example) are gone.
