🛠️ Technical Specifications Features

Material: 100% Genuine Double-Face Sheepskin (The leather and wool are one single layer, ensuring the most efficient heat retention possible).

Interior: High-loft, cream-toned sheepskin shearling that naturally regulates body temperature and wicks away moisture.

Collar: Oversized Double "Storm Collar" with dual heavy-duty buckle straps to seal out wind and snow.

Reinforcements: Genuine cowhide leather welted seams for added structural integrity and that classic "panelled" aviator look.

Hardware: Heavy-gauge YKK zippers and antiqued buckles designed to be operated even while wearing leather gloves

Waist Adjusters: Dual side-entry buckles to customize the fit and prevent heat loss from the hem.

Ethical Sourcing: All sheepskin used in this jacket is ethically sourced as a natural byproduct of the food industry — never from fur farming. Genuine double-face sheepskin is not only the most ethical choice but the highest-performing insulation material available — outperforming every synthetic alternative in warmth, breathability, and longevity.

📏 Fit & Technical Details

• Fit: Relaxed/Boxy Fit The waist adjustment buckles allow you to cinch the hem and create a more defined silhouette when needed — giving you full control over how structured or relaxed the final fit appears.

• Weight: Heavy-weight (Approx. 2.2kg – 2.8kg). This is a substantial "lifetime" garment.

Care:

Hanging: Always hang on a wide, wooden or padded hanger to preserve the shoulder structure. Never fold or compress this jacket during storage — the cowhide exterior and sheepskin lining need room to breathe.

Storing: Store in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight and heat sources. If storing long-term, use a breathable cotton garment bag — never plastic, which traps moisture and accelerates leather deterioration.

Drying: If the jacket gets wet, shake off excess moisture immediately and hang on a wide hanger in a well-ventilated room. Allow to air dry naturally at room temperature — never use a tumble dryer, radiator, or hairdryer. Direct heat causes cowhide to crack and sheepskin to stiffen permanently.

Fur Collar Care: Use a wide-toothed fur comb monthly to maintain the loft and remove surface debris. Always comb gently in the direction of the fur — never against it.

Conditioning: Apply a quality cowhide leather conditioner to the exterior twice yearly to prevent drying, cracking, and loss of suppleness. Well-conditioned cowhide deepens in character and improves with every season.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the lining "real" wool or synthetic?

A: This is Double-Face Sheepskin. The wool you feel inside is the natural fur of the hide, not glued-on synthetic material. This allows for superior "breathability" so you don’t overheat.

Q: Why are there leather strips on the seams?

A: Those are "Leather Welts." They are a hallmark of authentic B3 construction, added to reinforce the seams against the tension of the thick wool and to provide a windproof seal at every stitch.

Q: Does the wool "shed" on my clothes?

A: Genuine sheepskin may have very minor "lint" shedding during the first 2-3 wears. A quick pass with a lint roller or a light brushing with a soft brush will resolve this permanently.

Q: At nearly 3kg, will this feel uncomfortable to wear all day?

A: The generous cut distributes weight evenly across both shoulders rather than concentrating it at any single point. Most wearers report that within the first few minutes the jacket settles naturally into the shoulder structure and stops feeling heavy entirely. The wool interior also means you generate and retain your own body heat quickly — so you're rarely fighting the cold and the weight simultaneously.
