Flying Jacket Womens in Brown

Flying Jacket Womens

This flying jacket brings the classic B-3 aviator silhouette to life in rich brown sheepskin leather, paired with a thick faux shearling collar and lining that give it the warmth and texture the style has always been known for. The rounded collar, panel construction, and substantial cuffs stay true to the original flight jacket design, built here with genuine leather rather than a synthetic imitation of the look. It's part of our wider Women's Shearling Leather Jacket collection, alongside our other sheepskin and shearling-trimmed styles.

The Leather

Cut from sheepskin at 1.0mm, chrome-tanned for a soft temper, this leather moves comfortably with the body rather than sitting stiff — an important quality for a jacket with this much structure through the shoulders and sleeves. Panel construction pieces the jacket from carefully cut leather sections, giving it the layered, structured look aviator jackets are known for rather than a single flat hide panel. For more on how we source and finish our leather, see our Craftsmanship page.

The Faux Shearling

Both the collar and the interior lining use faux shearling rather than real fur or shearling wool, giving the jacket its classic thick, curled texture and warmth without using animal fur. It's the same approach we've taken on our Cropped Faux Shearling Jacket — genuine leather on the outside, soft faux-shearling texture where it matters most against the skin.

Construction

The front closes with a YKK #8 antique brass zipper, with smaller YKK #5 antique brass zippers securing the two outer pockets — hardware chosen to match in finish and built to handle daily use without sticking or loosening over time. Topstitching runs at a consistent 8 SPI using bonded polyester thread throughout, and seams are specifically reinforced at the shoulder, armhole, sleeve attachment, pocket openings, zipper ends, cuffs, and side seams — the exact points on a jacket that see the most stress from regular wear and movement, rather than a single blanket reinforcement claim.

Fit and Sizing

Not sure on sizing? Our Size Guide is worth checking before you order, since the aviator silhouette's panel construction and substantial collar can sit differently than a slimmer, more streamlined jacket style.

Care

Wipe the leather down with a soft, dry cloth, and keep the faux shearling collar and lining brushed gently to maintain its texture. Avoid prolonged moisture exposure on both the leather and the faux shearling trim.

FAQ

Is the collar real shearling or faux?
Both the collar and the interior lining are faux shearling, not real fur or shearling wool. They're designed to replicate the classic aviator jacket's texture and warmth without using animal product.

What leather is the jacket made from?
It's genuine sheepskin leather at 1.0mm, chrome-tanned for a soft, comfortable temper that suits the jacket's structured, panel-built silhouette.

Which areas of the jacket are reinforced?
Seams are reinforced at the shoulder, armhole, sleeve attachment, pocket openings, zipper ends, cuffs, and side seams — the points most likely to experience stress from regular wear.
