Aviator Sheepskin RAF Mens B3 Bomber Leather Jacket

Aviator Sheepskin RAF Mens B3 Bomber Leather Jacket

The Aviator Sheepskin RAF Mens B3 Bomber Leather Jacket is a real sheepskin winter jacket built on the classic RAF flight pattern. The outer shell is genuine sheepskin and the inside carries thick natural shearling, so the warmth comes from the hide itself instead of a padded filler. The wide shearling collar folds up and closes across the throat, the twin front straps hold it shut in wind, and the cropped bomber length sits clean over jeans or riding trousers. If you are looking for a real B3 bomber leather jacket that can handle a genuine cold morning, this is the one to start with.

Material: Genuine sheepskin outer with natural shearling wool interior
Fit: Regular bomber fit with room for a mid layer
Closure: Front zip with double throat straps and adjustable waist belts
Color: Brown with cream shearling
Care: Wipe with a dry cloth, air dry away from heat, use leather conditioner twice a season

Why This B3 Bomber Works in Real Winter

A B3 was originally issued to bomber crews flying at altitude, and the build still shows it. Full shearling lining traps body heat, the storm collar blocks wind at the neck, and the heavy sheepskin panels stop cold air from cutting through. Unlike a thin fashion bomber, this jacket holds its warmth even when the temperature drops below freezing, which makes it a practical pick for riders, travellers and anyone who spends real time outdoors.

Leather, Shearling and Build Quality

We use full grain sheepskin with the wool left on, not a printed faux panel. The wool depth is what gives the jacket its insulation, and the grain side gives it the soft break-in feel that improves with wear. Stitching is doubled at the shoulders and armholes, the zip is metal, and the buckles are solid rather than plated plastic. Every piece is made to order in our own workshop, so you are not buying leftover stock.

Fit, Comfort and How to Wear It

The cut is a regular bomber fit. It sits at the hip, the sleeves finish at the wrist, and there is enough room across the chest for a sweater underneath without pulling. If you plan to layer heavily, going one size up is a safe call. Pair it with dark denim and boots for everyday winter wear, or wear it over a hoodie for a relaxed look. Riders usually size normally so the jacket stays close in the wind.

Made to Order for Your Size

Sizes run from XS through 5XL, and Custom is available if none of the standard sizes fit you properly. For a custom order, send us your chest, waist, sleeve length and height and we will cut the pattern to those numbers. There is no extra charge for a custom size, and the same leather and shearling are used either way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a real sheepskin jacket or faux?

It is real sheepskin with natural shearling wool on the inside. Nothing about the lining is synthetic.

How warm is a B3 bomber jacket?

Very warm. Full shearling handles freezing conditions on its own, so most buyers wear only a shirt or light sweater underneath.

What size should I order?

Take your normal jacket size for a regular fit. Go one size up if you plan to layer a thick sweater. Custom sizing is free if you send us your measurements.

Is the jacket made to order?

Yes. Each jacket is cut and stitched after you order, which is why the fit and finish stay consistent.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes, we ship worldwide with free shipping, and checkout is secure.

How do I care for the shearling?

Brush the wool gently, wipe the leather with a dry cloth, and keep the jacket on a wide hanger. Never machine wash it. Condition the leather twice a season to stop it drying out.

Can I wear this while riding?

Yes. The close collar and belted waist keep wind out, and the sheepskin gives good abrasion resistance for everyday riding.
