Sheepskin Flying Jackets

A Sheepskin Flying Jacket goes back to World War time. They have links to aviation and flights of that time. Sheepskin jackets are made of sheepskin leather which has astonishing insulating properties. They are, to some extend, water proof too so water can not easily penetrate the leather surface. All of this just to save you from natural elements.

To be very precise, these leather jackets came into being in world war I when pilots used to fly open cockpit planes. Since the planes were open, freezing winter winds used to throttle up the pilots which made it difficult for them to perform their tasks. As a result, a flight jacket design was manufactured. Hence a sheepskin flying jacket came into being.
