Shearling Aviator Leather Jacket
Built on the classic WWII aviator silhouette, this jacket pairs rugged flight-gear styling with everyday wearability. It's warm enough for a cold morning commute or a winter walk, without the bulk that makes cheaper shearling jackets feel like wearing a duvet.
Classic Aviation Design
Cropped to a true vintage aviator length, the jacket is cut from 1.2mm sheepskin leather, chrome-tanned for a supple hand-feel that softens further with wear. The double collar is finished in faux shearling for warmth without added bulk, closed with hard buckle straps that cinch against wind. Pocket corners are bar-tacked for reinforcement — the detail that stops corner seams from blowing out first, which is usually the first place a cheaper jacket fails.

Premium Materials & Construction
The outer shell is genuine sheepskin leather that toughens with age, stitched with single-needle topstitching at 8 stitches per inch for a clean, durable seam line. Hardware is YKK Excella #8 in an antique brass finish — a heavy-duty zipper spec built to hold up through years of daily use, not just a few winters. The body and sleeves are fully lined in soft faux shearling, trapping warmth while still letting the leather breathe.
Adjustable waist straps let you dial in the fit without the jacket ever feeling restrictive — snug enough to block wind, loose enough to layer a sweater underneath.

These details are why this jacket earns its place in our Shearling Jacket collection rather than just another cold-weather layer.
Maintenance
A quick brush after wear and occasional leather conditioner is all it needs. Sheepskin at this weight actually improves with age — light scuffs blend into the grain rather than standing out.
