Men Black Shearling Jacket With Hoodie

Men Black Shearling Jacket With Hoodie

The Men Black Shearling Jacket With Hood pairs the warmest jacket material available with the one thing traditional shearling jackets never had. Aircrew wore flight helmets, so the original pattern needed no hood. On the ground, in wind and sleet, a hood is what turns an extremely warm jacket into a genuinely weatherproof one.

• Material: Genuine shearling sheepskin
• Fit: Regular fit, generous by design
• Closure: Front zip
• Color: Black with natural wool
• Care: Brush the wool, wipe the hide, dry naturally away from heat

What the hood solves

On a hoodless shearling jacket, the body is sealed and the collar closes the throat — and then everything above the neck is exposed. In wind and driving rain that is where all the discomfort comes from, and a hat rarely stays put.

There is a second, less obvious benefit. Rain running off an uncovered head goes straight into the collar fleece, which is the part of a shearling jacket that takes longest to dry. A hood keeps the water off the section you least want wet.

Shearling construction

One sheepskin, tanned with the wool attached: hide outward to block wind, fleece inward to trap air, no seam between them. There is no separate lining, and therefore no boundary for cold to find — the reason shearling outperforms layered jackets of similar thickness.

Wool also keeps insulating when slightly damp, unlike down, which suits a damp-cold climate.

Fit, wear and honest notes

Take your normal size — the pattern already allows for the fleece thickness. A shearling hood is heavier than a fabric one and sits solidly on the shoulders when down; that is normal.

Honest points. It is heavy and bulky, and both are the warmth. It is a fashion jacket, not military surplus, with no genuine service insignia. And a hood helps considerably in rain but does not make shearling waterproof — dry it naturally, never on a radiator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the hood lined with shearling?

Message us before ordering and we will confirm the hood lining specification precisely.

Is the fur real?

It is real sheepskin with the wool attached — shearling — not a fur trim on a leather shell.

Is it waterproof?

No. The hood helps a great deal in rain, but shearling is a cold-and-dry material.

Does the hood get in the way when down?

It is heavier than a fabric hood and sits solidly on the shoulders. That is inherent to shearling.

Should I size up?

No. The pattern already allows for the fleece thickness.

How should it be cleaned?

Brush the wool, wipe the hide, and use a specialist sheepskin cleaner — never a standard dry cleaner.

Do you offer custom sizing?

Yes — XS to 5XL plus Custom to your own measurements.
