Black Leather Chinchilla Collar V Bomber Jacket
Chinchilla fur is distinctive for its texture rather than its colour: an unusually dense, fine pile with a soft grey tone that shades from dark at the base to pale at the tips. Against a black leather shell that gives a collar with visible depth — it does not read as one flat colour the way most dark collars do. This is the V-bomber shape with that collar on a black leather body.

What makes chinchilla different
Density. Chinchilla has far more hairs per follicle than most furs, which is why it feels the way it does and why the pile stands up rather than lying flat. That density is also what produces the shading — light penetrates the pile and reflects back differently at the base than at the tips, so the collar has tonal depth built in.
The practical consequence is that it needs gentler handling than a coarser fur. Brush it lightly with a soft brush; a stiff brush or heavy strokes will break the fine hairs, and once broken they do not recover.
Grey fur on black leather
A mid-grey collar on black is the middle ground between the two obvious options. A black collar disappears into the jacket outline; a white or pale collar separates completely and dominates. Grey does neither — the collar reads as a distinct element without becoming the only thing anyone sees.
For higher contrast, our crystal fox version is in the same V Bomber Leather Jackets range; for none at all, the black-on-black one is there too.
The V collar
Closed, it stands high around the neck and seals the throat gap. Opened out, it falls into a broad V across the chest and shoulders. The neckline and shoulder seams are reinforced to carry its weight, which is what stops a heavy collar dragging the jacket backwards off the shoulders over the years.
Build and fit
Real black leather with enough substance to carry the collar and block wind across the body. Metal tooth main zip on a reinforced tape. Double-stitched seams, reinforced at the shoulders. Lined through the body, so it works as a genuine winter jacket rather than a three-season one.
Regular fit — take your normal size, since room for a jumper is already built into the pattern. See our Men Bomber Leather Jackets or Men Leather Jackets for plainer shapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is chinchilla fur like?
Unusually dense and fine, with a soft grey tone that shades from dark at the base to pale at the tips, so the collar has depth rather than one flat colour.
Can you confirm the fur type and sourcing?
Message us before ordering and we will confirm the exact specification for this jacket before you buy.
How do I brush it?
Lightly, with a soft brush. A stiff brush or heavy strokes break the fine hairs, and broken hairs do not recover.
Is the shell real leather?
Yes, real black leather with enough substance to carry the collar.
Is the collar removable?
Not on this pattern — the collar is fixed. Our detachable-collar bomber is the alternative.
What size should I order?
Your normal size. Room for a jumper is already built into the pattern. Custom sizing is free.
How should I store it?
Hanging, with space around the collar. Crushing flattens a dense pile and it takes a long time to recover.
