Mens RAF B3 Sheepskin Flying Leather Bomber Jacket

Mens RAF B3 Sheepskin Flying Leather Bomber Jacket

The Mens RAF B3 Sheepskin Flying Leather Bomber Jacket is the Royal Air Force flying jacket in its most usable form. Real sheepskin, real shearling, a collar that turns up and buckles shut, and belts that pull the hem tight against your back. It was designed for men working in freezing air with no cabin heating, and that specification is still what makes it a genuinely warm jacket rather than a leather one that merely looks warm.

Material: Genuine sheepskin with full natural shearling lining
Fit: RAF flying cut, generous chest, hip length
Closure: Front metal zip with twin collar buckles and side hem belts
Color: Brown with natural cream shearling
Care: Brush the wool, dry wipe the leather, air dry only, condition seasonally

What Makes an RAF B3 Different

The RAF version puts more emphasis on the collar and the neck seal than the standard issue pattern. The collar is taller, the straps sit higher, and when both are buckled the jacket closes completely under the chin. That matters more than any other feature in wind, because the neck is where most warmth is lost on a bomber jacket.

Materials and Finishing

The hide is real sheepskin with the wool intact, so the shell and lining cannot separate. Wool depth is checked panel by panel before cutting so the sleeves insulate as well as the body. Zip, buckles and strap hardware are metal throughout, and the load-bearing seams are double stitched so the belts do not tear away under tension.

Fit, Sizing and Wear

Order your normal size. The flying cut is roomy through the chest by design, and the shearling adds visual bulk, so sizing up is only needed if you plan to wear a heavy knit underneath. Sleeves finish at the wrist with a close cuff, and the short hem stops the jacket bunching when you sit, drive or ride.

Custom Sizing at No Extra Cost

Standard sizes run XS to 5XL. Choose Custom and send your chest, waist, sleeve length and height, and the pattern is adjusted for you free of charge. Every jacket is made after the order is placed, so the leather grade stays identical across all sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the shearling genuine?

Yes, it is natural sheep wool on the hide, running through the body, sleeves and collar.

How does an RAF B3 differ from a standard B3?

The collar is taller and the throat straps sit higher, so the jacket seals more completely at the neck.

What size should I order?

Your usual jacket size. Size up only for heavy layering, or select Custom and send measurements at no extra charge.

Is it made to order?

Yes, each jacket is cut and stitched once your order is confirmed.

Can I wear this while riding?

Yes. The buckled collar and belted hem block wind effectively and sheepskin resists abrasion well, though the jacket does not include armour.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes, free worldwide shipping with a secure checkout.

How do I keep the leather from drying out?

Apply a light leather conditioner twice a season, keep the jacket away from radiators and direct sun, and store it on a wide hanger.
