Quick Response
First introduced in the 1930s, the B-3 bomber jacket was developed for pilots flying in open, unpressurized aircraft at extreme altitudes. In an era before modern insulation, warmth meant one thing: thick shearling, worn as one solid piece.
Crafted from genuine sheepskin shearling, the leather exterior and natural wool lining remain bonded together, forming a single layer that traps heat efficiently while staying breathable. There is no padding, no shortcuts — just the same construction that kept aircrews warm long before synthetic materials existed.
Due to the weight and construction of our B-3 sheepskin jacket (around 4 lbs), returns for incorrect sizing require the customer to cover return shipping costs.
If you’re unsure about sizing, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help you choose the right fit before you order.
Do not machine wash or soak.
Water and detergents will permanently damage the leather and wool.
1. Daily Care & Brushing
For the Leather Exterior: Use a soft-bristled clothes brush or a clean microfiber cloth to sweep away dust after each wear.
For the Wool Interior: Use a soft wire brush to gently fluff the wool if it starts to mat or flatten.
2. Handling Wet Weather
If it gets wet: Do not use a hairdryer, radiator, or direct sunlight to dry it. Heat will cause the leather to shrink and crack.
The Air-Dry Method: Shake off excess water, blot the surface gently with a dry towel (don't rub!), and hang it on a wide, padded hanger in a well-ventilated room at room temperature.
Shape: If the jacket is soaking wet, lay it flat on a towel first to prevent the weight of the water from stretching the shoulders.
3.Proper Storage
The Hanger: Always use a wide, padded wooden hanger. Thin wire hangers will create "shoulder nipples" and distort the shape of the heavy sheepskin over time.
Airflow: Never store your jacket in a plastic bag. Leather needs to breathe; plastic traps moisture and leads to mold or mildew. Use a breathable cotton garment bag or an old pillowcase with a hole for the hanger.
4. Professional care
For deep cleaning or conditioning, consult a professional leather or shearling specialist only. With time and wear, the leather will develop a natural patina, making each jacket uniquely yours.
Our B-3 jackets are made from genuine sheepskin, cut from different individual hides — not uniform sheets.
That means the texture, density, and softness of the wool and leather can vary slightly from piece to piece.
Some may feel smoother, others more textured.
This is completely natural — just like human hair.
It’s not a defect, but a signature of real shearling.
True shearling. One hide, not glued
Our jackets use full shearling hides, where the wool and leather come from the same piece of sheepskin.
When you look at the edge or seam, what you see is natural leather backing, not glue or bonded layers.
This construction offers better durability, breathability, and warmth over time.
Genuine shearling doesn’t stay the same forever.
As you wear it, the leather softens, the wool settles, and the jacket slowly adapts to your body and lifestyle.
Over time, it becomes uniquely yours — shaped by how and where you wear it.
