This collection is for anyone who wants real cold-weather outerwear with character. Many of the jackets pair a leather or suede outer with a wool lining, which gives sheepskin jackets their thick collars, plush interiors and rugged look.
Materials vary by product, and this matters. Some jackets are listed as 100% genuine sheepskin with real sheep fur lining, while others pair real leather with a faux shearling lining. Check the material details on each product page before you buy.
The range sits alongside closely related collections. If you’re shopping by style, see B3 bomber jackets and aviator jackets. For longer lengths, browse men’s sheepskin coats. Women’s styles are in women’s sheepskin jackets.
Sheepskin flying jackets were developed for aircrews who flew in open or unheated aircraft, where the cold at altitude was a serious danger. In the 1930s, the US Army Air Corps adopted the B-3, a heavy sheepskin jacket with the wool worn inside and a large collar that could be closed with straps. In Britain, the Irvin jacket became the standard RAF flying jacket and is recognizable by its paneled construction and wide collar.
After the war, these jackets moved from airfields into everyday wardrobes, and their shape has barely changed since. Read more about the history of the B3 aviator shearling jacket and the history of sheepskin jackets.
The B3 is the classic sheepskin flying jacket. It’s cropped at the waist, has a large wool collar and is usually fastened with a front zip and collar straps. Options include the Men’s Classic B3 Air Force Sheepskin Shearling Jacket, the Men’s Brown B3 Bomber Shearling Sheepskin Jacket and the Men’s Black B3 Bomber Shearling Sheepskin Jacket. Browse the full range in B3 bomber jackets.
Aviator jackets often have paneled construction and a wide collar inspired by British flying jackets. The Men’s Dark Brown B3 RAF Aviator Sheepskin Shearling Jacket and the Men’s Aviator Shearling Sheepskin Jacket are good examples. More options are in aviator jackets.
A hood adds extra protection from wind and snow. The B-3 Hooded Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket and the Men’s B3 Sheepskin Jacket with Detachable Hood combine the flight-jacket shape with a shearling hood.
The Men’s B-6 Shearling Bomber Jacket offers a slightly different take on the flight jacket. It’s a good option if you want the sheepskin look in a cleaner, less bulky style than the classic B3.
If you want sheepskin warmth with a more urban edge, shearling biker jackets combine moto details with a wool lining. Options include the Black Shearling Leather Biker Coat and the Men’s Red Shearling Aviator Moto Jacket.
For extra coverage, the Men’s B3 Double Collar Shearling Aviator Long Coat extends the flight-jacket design below the hip. For more long styles, see men’s sheepskin coats and men’s shearling coats.
This jacket is listed as 100% genuine sheepskin with a soft, heavy real sheep fur lining that continues through the sleeves. It has a zip closure, a fur-lined hood and side pockets. Sizes run from S to 4XL, with a Custom option if you want it made to your measurements.
Sheepskin is the hide of a sheep. In outerwear, it usually means the hide is tanned with the wool still attached, so one material forms both the outer and the lining. Shearling is a closely related term for wool-on sheepskin or lambskin, often with the wool trimmed to an even length. In fashion, the two terms are often used interchangeably. Faux shearling is a synthetic pile made to look like wool. It’s sometimes used as a lining inside a real leather jacket. Flying jacket, aviator jacket and B3 describe the style, not the material.
Brown is the traditional color for sheepskin flying jackets, and it shows off the contrast between the leather and the cream or tan wool. It works well with denim, flannel and boots. Explore more in men’s brown leather jackets.
Dark brown feels richer and slightly dressier than mid-brown while keeping the vintage look. It suits darker trousers and knitwear.
Black sheepskin looks more modern and urban, especially with a black or dark wool collar. It’s an easy choice for city wear. See more in men’s black leather jackets.
For something bolder, the Yellow Suede Shearling Aviator Jacket and the red shearling moto jacket bring color to winter outfits. They work best with neutral layers underneath.
Sheepskin is much thicker than ordinary leather, so fit matters. Measure your chest, shoulders and sleeve length and compare them with the 3amoto size guide. Think about what you’ll wear underneath: a B3 worn over a sweater needs more room than one worn over a T-shirt.
A B3 should sit at or just above the waist, with enough room to move your arms freely. Check that the sleeves still reach your wrists when you reach forward. The collar should close comfortably when fastened. If you’re between sizes, use the Custom option or made-to-measure ordering.
Genuine sheepskin uses natural wool attached to the hide. Wool is known for trapping warm air and handling moisture well, and sheepskin jackets tend to soften and shape to the wearer over time. The trade-offs are cost, weight and care: genuine sheepskin usually costs more, feels heavier and needs specialist cleaning.
Real leather with a faux shearling lining keeps the leather outer and the shearling look at a lower price. One example is the Black Leather B3 Bomber Jacket, which is made of lambskin with a faux shearling lining. These jackets are often lighter and easier to care for, but the lining doesn’t behave like natural wool.
Both are valid choices. The important thing is to know which one you’re buying, so check the specifications on each product page. For more detail, read what sheepskin is and how it’s used.
The terms overlap heavily. Both usually describe a jacket made from sheep or lamb hide with the wool left on. Shearling often refers to wool trimmed to an even length, but in fashion the two names are commonly used for the same type of jacket.
No. Many are listed as genuine sheepskin with real wool lining, but some combine real leather with a faux shearling lining. Each product page lists the outer and lining materials, so check them before you order.
