Shearling Leather Bomber Jacket

Size

Only 1 item left in stock!

  • 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, two side-entry hand pockets, and a hidden interior chest pocket. Handcrafted in a limited run.

    Espresso brown is a refined, even-toned dark brown, the most versatile of the brown shearlings. It reads city-to-country, polished enough for charcoal or navy trousers and rugged enough for denim and boots. Where Grizzly leans weathered, Espresso leans clean and even.

    Product Guidance

    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.

    Sizing philosophy: waist-length B-3 silhouette, true to size.
    Between sizes: the wool interior adds warmth, so size up only if you plan to layer a heavy sweater underneath.
    Standard size: fits over a shirt or light knit comfortably.
    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.

    Product FAQs

    Is this real shearling?

    Yes. It is real merino wool sheepskin: a full-grain leather exterior with a natural wool interior, sourced from Turkey. Not faux fur or sherpa polyester.

    How warm is it?

    Very warm. It is built on the B-3 lineage designed to keep aircrews alive in unheated bombers at altitude. The natural wool holds heat without bulk.

    Is Espresso versatile?

    Espresso is the most versatile brown in the range. Its even, refined tone moves easily from denim and flannel to charcoal or navy trousers.

    How does it fit?

    Use the WaiR tool for a personalized recommendation. The waist-length B-3 cut runs true to size. The wool adds warmth, so size up only if you plan to layer a heavy sweater underneath.

    What's the warranty?

    A one year warranty covers stitching, hardware, and structural defects. Normal patina and wear marks are part of how the jacket is meant to age and are not defects.

  • How to Measure Yourself

    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.



    How should a leather jacket fit?

    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.
