HIGHPLAINS SHEEPSKIN
As you open the door to this unassuming storefront, you might catch the rhythmic hum of a sewing machine or the faint scent of freshly applied glue. Welcome in. Here, you get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Spencer Haire’s process for hand-making thousands of sheepskin slippers and mittens each year.
You know when you find something so irresistibly cozy that you just can’t help but share it? Meet High Plains Sheepskin—a nearly half-century-old artisan factory nestled in the heart of downtown East Helena that produces slippers, mittens, and other sheepskin products.
A passionate artisan, Spencer apprenticed with the former owner, Gary Thomas, until his passing. He purchased the business in 2020, seamlessly ensuring that the legacy of fine sheepskin products continues to reach customers across all 50 states and internationally.
Whether you’re a fan of cozy comfort or an admirer of fine craftsmanship, your feet will love this fluffy cocoon. Their goods are available for purchase year-round at the shop in East Helena or online.
