Hi Roger I have a shearling jacket and the inside is very dry to the touch would a shampoo wash help with this or is a hydrator the ONLY option, cost is an issue as I will spend if I must but would prefer the most cost effective result.
Your time in response is greatly appreciated. Kevin (UK) Oxford
Yes its the inside woolen material that is dry not the outside part, and its mainly only dry around the collar area, feels like sun damage? Here’s the pictures attached.

what's your thoughts on the dry inside woollen collar/lapel of this jacket? would a wash with specialist shampoo give in a satisfactory result? or would it not effect the dryness of the fabric? Many thanks for your advice Roger.

Recommend that you used the wool-safe cleaning system from this shearling care cleaning Kit-Ss3 as the first attempt. If the cause is some grease build-up then DegreaserWool-5.6 may be needed follows with RinseWool-4.0 follows with Protector-S.

Sequence-W1: A) Dry Soil Removal:
Instruction: A1) Vacuum off foreign soiling with help of suede Brush-3.

Sequence-W2: B) Wet Soil Removal:

Sequence-W3: C) Non-Stick, Rub-Resistant Protection:
