FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

No, this jacket is made of leather and requires professional leather cleaning to maintain the integrity of the material.

Does the size L fit true to standard sizing?

The jacket follows standard sizing conventions, but because of the insulating inner lining, some users prefer to layer lightly underneath.

Can I adjust the waist for a tighter fit?

Yes, the jacket features integrated tightening loops at the waist that allow you to adjust the fit for better wind resistance.

What is the primary material used for this bomber?

The exterior is crafted from high-quality durable leather, designed to offer lasting protection and style.

Are the pockets warm?

Yes, the side pockets are specifically lined with wool to ensure maximum warmth for your hands.

Is this suitable for extreme winter weather?

The B-3 style is historically designed for high-altitude cold, making it exceptionally warm for standard winter conditions.

Troubleshooting

Stiff zipper operation

Apply a small amount of beeswax or a dedicated zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve glide.

Surface scuffs on leather

Use a high-quality leather conditioner that matches the brown tone to buff out minor surface abrasions.

Jacket feels stiff after storage

Wear the jacket for short periods to allow natural body heat and movement to soften the leather fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior warmth in cold weather conditions

  • Classic vintage military silhouette
  • Customizable fit via collar and waist loops

  • Traditional bulky fit may not suit all body types

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains in optimal condition, professional leather cleaning is recommended. Avoid machine washing or standard dry cleaning, as these can strip the natural oils from the leather. For daily maintenance, wipe down the exterior with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. If the jacket gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, which can cause the leather to crack. Store the jacket on a broad-shouldered hanger in a cool, well-ventilated area to maintain its shape over the off-season.
