mouton
Processed lamb pelt
Mouton is sheepskin processed to resemble more expensive furs like beaver or seal.
The wool is sheared, straightened, and dyed to create a dense, plush surface: a mouton coat.
The term comes directly from French, where it simply means sheep.
Mouton remains popular as an affordable alternative to luxury furs.
