Shearling Leather Jackets

Built from full-grain sheepskin with the wool still attached to the hide, every piece in our shearling leather jacket collection is constructed to hold up for decades, develop a patina over time, and eventually be worth passing down.

Our shearling bombers draw from the B-3 lineage — the jacket issued to 8th Air Force aircrews in World War II, designed to keep men alive at 25,000 feet in unheated aircraft. We take those design cues and build forward: the shearling collar, the waist-length silhouette — refined for how a man actually dresses today. No buckle straps. No costume proportions. Just a serious jacket built for real cold and real life. See how our shearling sits alongside our full range of men's leather bomber jackets and men's leather jackets.

Want to know what to look for before you buy — the difference between real and faux shearling, how to get the fit right, and why a $700 jacket worn for 25 years costs less per year than most jackets that wear out in three? Read our complete guide to men's shearling bomber jackets.

For care tips, styling ideas and the longer barn coat cut, see our main men's shearling jackets and coats page. And if you are weighing real shearling against the synthetic version, read shearling vs sherpa.

Shearling leather jacket questions

What is a shearling leather jacket?

A shearling leather jacket is cut from sheepskin that was tanned with the wool left on. The leather side faces out and the wool side faces in, so the shell and the lining are one piece of hide instead of a leather jacket with a separate lining sewn in.

Is a shearling bomber jacket the same as a shearling flight jacket?

They come from the same place. The B-3 was a military flight jacket, and "bomber" is the name that stuck in everyday use. Our Shearling Leather Bomber Jacket keeps the shearling collar and waist-length cut of the flight jacket and leaves off the buckle straps and oversized cockpit fit.

How warm is a shearling leather jacket?

Warm enough for real winter. A well-built shearling bomber performs from the mid-30s Fahrenheit down into the teens, and the natural wool breathes, so it holds heat when you stop moving without overheating you when you step inside.

Which shearling leather jackets does Buffalo Jackson make?

The Shearling Leather Bomber Jacket in Grizzly Brown, Espresso Brown, Whiskey Brown, Sandstone Brown and Black; the western-cut Jackson Shearling Leather Jacket and Jackson Leather Shearling Vest; the Big Sky Shearling Leather Blazer; and the Durango Shearling Barn Coat.
