This is the modern descendant of the B-3, the jacket the 8th Air Force wore over Europe at 25,000 feet in unheated bombers. We took the lineage and refined it for how a man actually dresses today: waist-length silhouette, clean shearling collar, no costume buckles, no exaggerated proportions. Just a serious cold-weather jacket built to be worn for decades.
Real merino wool sheepskin shearling, with a full-grain leather exterior and a natural wool interior sourced from Turkey, where shearling has been tanned for generations. The wool holds heat without bulk. YKK zippers, an adjustable snap at the waist and two side-entry hand pockets. Handcrafted in a limited run.
Whiskey brown is a warm, amber-leaning brown with rich character, sitting between the lightness of Sandstone and the depth of Espresso. It is the most characterful of the browns, developing a deeper warmth as the leather ages. The choice for the man who wants a brown with presence.

| Best For | The man who wants a true cold-weather jacket with real heritage, not a costume. The buyer who values shearling done right: real merino wool, full-grain leather, decades of wear. The cold-climate wearer who needs warmth without bulk. The investment buyer who would rather own one jacket for 25 years than replace a cheap one every three. |
| Sizing & Fit | For exact personal sizing recommendation, use the Measurement WAIR Guide at the top of the page, 4 questions to get your exact size. Sizing philosophy: waist-length B-3 silhouette, true to size. The wool interior adds warmth, so size up only if you plan to layer a heavy sweater underneath. |
| Care | Brush the wool gently to keep it lofted. Spot clean the leather exterior and condition it periodically. Air dry away from direct heat. Store on a wide hanger to hold the shoulders. |

Features
Shopping online, as most of us do nowadays, you’ll want to know your measurements to help ensure a great fit. The sketch below shows where to take measurements to compare to clothing you already own. Keep in mind, however, those measurements will only be helpful if taken correctly. Tip: don’t let the measuring tape hang loose when you’re measuring, but avoid pulling the tape excessively tight. Here’s how to get accurate measurements:
Length: Measure from the bottom of the collar to the waist seam.
Shoulders: Measure between the top of the sleeve seams.
Chest: Measure the entire circumference of your chest. Begin with one end of the measuring tape 1 inch below the armhole at the fullest part of your chest. Then, keeping the tape level, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement.
Sleeve: Accurately measuring sleeve length is tough to do yourself, so ask someone to help with this. Beginning with one end of the tape at the top of your arm, then down to your wrist. This entire length is your arm-length measurement.
Do the same rules apply to how a jacket should fit as to other jackets or outerwear? Not necessarily. Read on for details.
Leather will stretch over time, so you never want to start with a leather jacket that is too big. But that doesn’t mean you want a jacket that’s too small! It’s also essential to allow room for layers under your leather jacket. Here are a few specific tips for finding a leather jacket that fits just right:
Chest: Leather jackets ought to fit more snugly through the chest than a regular overcoat, but consider the types of layers you may want to wear underneath. If you live in a warm climate and will be layering over light clothing such as a dress shirt or t-shirt, we recommend adding 2-3 inches to your measured chest size. If you live in a colder climate and layering over heavier clothing such as sweaters, we recommend adding 3-4 inches to your chest size. If you land between sizes, we recommend sizing up to the next size available. Tip: you should be able to comfortably zip or button your leather jacket all the way up, even if you plan to wear it open.
Shoulders: Suit coat rules do not apply to leather jackets, so it's okay if the shoulder comes down your arm a few inches. However, even though the leather will give over time if the shoulder seam is higher than your shoulder, the jacket is too small.
Waist: The bottom of your leather jacket should not reach below the bottom of your belt/top of your thigh. This is likely shorter than other overcoats you've owned, but a leather jacket that hangs well below the belt is too big unless you're wearing a long leather trench coat.
Sleeve Length: The proper sleeve length on a leather jacket is consistent with pretty much any jacket: sleeves should end at your wrist.

"From figment to finish, style to durability finally a jacket that goes from paddock to bar or restaurant and turns heads at every stop."
"It's a well made beautiful jacket. I gave it 4 stars because they run a little small but I ordered a size bigger. Nice jacket."
"Absolutely love the jacket, looks and feels comfortable and fashionable to wear. Greatly useful when it gets severely cold, like early mornings or late nights with its lining inside that instantly heats me up, all while also being a great addition to wear with any outfit of mine. Will shop another jacket very soon."
"Ok so I had bought this fantastic jacket approximately 3-4 years ago now and I thought I would write another updated review of it now that it's nice and broken in. The quality has genuinely held up, and if anything, it’s only gotten more comfortable and better looking over time. I’m guessing that’s thanks to the natural patina that’s developed. Overall, it’s an exceptionally well-crafted jacket. On top of that, the company behind it is easily one of the best I’ve ever dealt with. Their customer service is outstanding, they stand firmly by their values, and it’s clear they truly care about producing high-quality outerwear. If you are contemplating buying this jacket, DO SO NOW just in case they stop making it or they run out!!! It's a must have."
"Howdy! This is the best coat I’ve ever had. It’s old school, tough, and very warm. No regrets, worth every penny."
"Love my jacket , quality is very good compared to others , thanks again"
"Very pleased with this jacket. As soon as you put it on you know how warm it is for how light it is. Bought one for a friend that has a house in Colorado a week after I got mine. Definitely recommend."
"Amazing quality, fit, soft, absolutely perfect … would 100 recommend buying this!"
"Quality is first class. The warmest jacket by far in my wardrobe. Now just need a really cold day…"
"5 stars - Great jacket - for me it runs a bit small - Usually get XL - tried XXL but was just a bit tight - exchanged for XXXL and fit is good. Very warm and looking forward to walking my dog in the snow. Pls offer a shearling vest in distressed brown. (Sandstone)"
Crated with soft, genuine lambskin leather so from day one, it has that vintage, broken-in feel and that distressed brown leather look.
Our brown leather bomber jacket has all the essentials with perfectly placed side hand pockets, two interior chest pockets, and classically styled ribbed sleeve cuffs and waist.
Customize your warmth with a button on/button off detachable sherpa collar. Yes, we’ve thought of everything.
