RAF Flying Jacket In B3 Bomber Series Style
This jacket reproduces the B3 flight jacket RAF pilots wore in WWII, rebuilt for daily wear without losing the shape or weight that made the original work.
It's made to be more than winter outerwear — properly warm, classically styled, with the same details that made the wartime original count. You feel the difference the moment you put it on: soft but tough, warm without being heavy, historically accurate but genuinely wearable today.
The Iconic B3 Design Features
- Oversized shearling collar that turns up for real wind protection
- Asymmetric front zip with a lock-down snap storm flap to keep out rain and cold
- Adjustable waist belt for a fit that's yours to dial in
- Slash hand pockets that keep hands warm and hold small essentials
- Dark brown leather that darkens and develops a natural patina with wear
These details stay faithful to the original RAF B3 pattern while holding up to everyday use — nothing here is decorative. You'll find the same standard across our sheepskin jackets collection, where every piece is built to the same spec.
The Premium and Lasting Comfort
The outer shell is 1.2mm sheepskin leather, sourced from tanneries in Sialkot, Pakistan and finished using the process we detail on our Craftsmanship page. The inner is heavy cream shearling — a combination that holds heat in cold conditions while letting air move, so you stay warm without trapping sweat the way synthetic linings do. It's soft against the skin and dense enough to hold up over years of regular wear, without the bulk of a padded jacket.
It performs well through an urban winter, weekend travel, or time outdoors. If you're drawn to bomber silhouettes generally, our leather bomber jackets collection has more built the same way.
Versatile Styling
This flying jacket pairs easily with jeans, chinos, or smart trousers. The oversized cut layers well, and the adjustable belt lets you dial the fit in when you want it. Reinforced seams and solid hardware keep it holding its shape season after season, and the leather picks up a natural patina with age that makes each jacket look more like your own over time.
It's the combination of historical accuracy, real cold-weather performance, and everyday versatility that makes this one work — the same reasons history buffs, pilots, and people who just want a jacket that lasts keep choosing it.

Care & Maintenance
- Brush the shearling gently to clear dust and debris
- Wipe the leather with a little mild soap and let it air-dry
- Store somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight
- Have the leather professionally cleaned about once a year
This jacket runs to a straight, relaxed fit rather than a slim cut — most people order their regular size and have enough room to layer underneath. If you're between sizes, our Size Guide has the exact measurements before you order.
Built to the original RAF B3 pattern, in genuine sheepskin that's meant to age well, this is a jacket made to be worn hard for years — not just once.
