FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold climates?

Yes, the B3 Shearling Sheepskin Aviator Jacket is designed for winter and provides excellent insulation. Its thick sheepskin lining offers superior warmth in cold conditions.

How should I determine my correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for the most accurate measurements. Consider whether you will be layering with thick sweaters underneath, as this may influence your size choice.

Can I wear this jacket in the rain?

While sheepskin offers some natural water resistance, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If the jacket gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the difference between sheepskin and shearling?

Shearling refers to sheepskin that has been tanned and processed with the wool still attached. This jacket uses double-faced sheepskin, meaning both the outer leather and inner wool lining are from the sheep.

How do I maintain the sheepskin lining?

The lining requires minimal maintenance. Keep it dry and occasionally brush it with a soft brush if it becomes matted. Avoid washing the lining directly.

Does the collar stay up effectively?

Yes, the collar can be stood up and secured with the adjustable buckled strap, providing extra protection against wind and cold.

What is the origin of the B3 Aviator Jacket style?

The B3 Aviator Jacket style originated in the 1930s and was developed for bomber pilots operating in cold, high-altitude conditions, with significant heritage in British aviation.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or dry

Apply a specialized sheepskin conditioner to the leather exterior and allow it to absorb. Avoid excessive heat.

Minor marks or stains on the leather

Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.

Sheepskin lining is matted

Gently brush the lining with a soft-bristled brush to help restore its loft. Avoid wetting the lining.

Jacket smells upon arrival

Allow the jacket to air out in a well-ventilated area for a few days. Natural leather and sheepskin can have a distinct odor that dissipates over time.
