Men’s Army Green Sheepskin Shearling Aviator Jacket

The army-green colour gives this shearling aviator jacket a less conventional character than the usual black or brown flight jacket. Its surface has a gently mottled, slightly distressed appearance, with darker variations developing across the panels rather than a perfectly uniform finish. Cream shearling at the collar and hem creates a warm contrast against the military-inspired exterior.

Handmade from approximately 1.2 mm genuine sheepskin, the jacket retains its naturally attached shearling wool on the inside. It has the substantial feel expected from real winter outerwear, balanced by a regular, hip-length shape that leaves room for comfortable movement and light layering.

What Gives This Jacket Its Character?

Instead of heavy decoration, the design relies on its distinctive colour, exposed natural wool and dark leather seam detailing. The army-green exterior has a worn-in tonal effect that complements denim, neutral trousers and winter boots without looking like a costume or military uniform.

A straight silver-tone YKK metal zipper runs through the centre front. Dark leather borders the zipper and separates it visually from the green body. Two exterior zip pockets repeat the same contrast, with vertically angled openings positioned for convenient hand access.

The jacket also contains one inside pocket for carrying a wallet, cards or other smaller valuables away from the exterior openings.

Collar and Throat-Strap Construction

A broad cream shearling collar provides soft coverage around the back and sides of the neck. It is shaped as a traditional turn-down aviator collar rather than a narrow shirt collar or oversized biker lapel.

Twin dark leather throat straps with reinforced metal eyelets sit at the front of the collar. These straps provide the recognizable flight-jacket detail and allow the collar to be secured higher when additional neck coverage is needed.

The wool remains naturally attached to the sheepskin rather than being added as a detachable synthetic collar.

Bound Seams and Reinforced Stitching

Dark leather binding defines the jacket’s main structural lines. It runs alongside the centre zipper, around the pocket openings, across the lower body and vertically through the centre back. Corresponding dark strips continue along the outer sleeve seams.

Parallel rows of tonal topstitching secure these leather-bound sections. The remaining shoulder, armhole and body panels use clean tonal stitching so the structure remains visible without introducing unnecessary contrast.

Additional reinforcement is used at the underarms, where regular arm movement creates greater stress on the seams. The jacket is sewn with 100% polyester thread, selected for durability and resistance to ordinary seam tension.

The construction includes:

• Dark leather binding along major panel joins

• Parallel topstitching around bound seams

• A vertically divided back panel

• A reinforced horizontal seam above the hem

• Defined shoulder and armhole seams

• Reinforced underarm stress points

• Stitched leather surrounds on both exterior zipper pockets

Cuffs, Hem and Waist Adjustment

The sleeves end in straight leather cuffs with a clean stitched finish. There are no knitted ribs, cuff zippers or buckle adjusters. This gives the sleeves a simpler appearance and keeps attention on the collar and contrasting seam work.

Cream shearling remains exposed along the straight lower hem. A dark leather-bound seam runs above this wool edge, helping the lower body retain its shape.

Buckled leather straps are fitted at both sides of the waist. These adjusters allow the lower opening to be drawn in slightly and help reduce cold air entering through the hem. The visible buckles and zippers have a silver-tone finish; the precise metal composition is not confirmed by the photographs.

Material and Construction Details

The sheepskin is chrome-tanned and finished with a slightly distressed army-green surface. Chrome tanning helps produce the flexibility required for a jacket containing shaped panels, bound seams and a naturally insulated interior.

The hides are sourced as a by-product of the food industry. Because every hide has its own natural grain and absorbs colour differently, individual jackets may display subtle variations in shade, distressing and wool density. These differences are normal characteristics of genuine sheepskin rather than manufacturing faults.

Each handmade jacket undergoes a final quality inspection before dispatch.

Warmth and Weather Use

The dense leather exterior helps reduce wind penetration, while the naturally attached shearling wool provides insulation throughout the jacket. Its suggested wearing range is approximately -5°C to 10°C, depending on wind, humidity, activity level and the clothing worn underneath.

This is practical wearing guidance rather than an independently certified temperature rating. The jacket is wind resistant but should not be advertised as completely windproof. It is also not waterproof and should be protected from prolonged rain.

Because natural shearling is considerably heavier than a lightweight fabric or thinly lined bomber, the jacket weighs approximately 1.8–2.6 kg depending on the selected size.

Finding the Right Fit

The jacket has a regular, straight fit with room for normal winter clothing. However, natural shearling occupies more interior space than a thin polyester lining. Customers who are between sizes, have broad shoulders or want to wear a heavy sweater should consider choosing one size larger.

Review the finished-jacket measurements in our size guide before ordering. Comparing those measurements with a similar jacket that already fits is usually the most reliable method.

How to Care for Army-Green Sheepskin

• Use a cleaning specialist experienced with genuine leather and shearling.

• Do not machine wash, soak, bleach, iron or tumble dry.

• Avoid applying ordinary detergents, shoe polish or household cleaning products.

• Remove dry surface dust gently with a soft cloth.

• Do not rub the distressed finish aggressively, as this may create uneven colour.

• If the jacket becomes wet, blot moisture gently and allow it to air-dry naturally.

• Keep it away from radiators, hair dryers, fireplaces and direct sunlight.

• Once completely dry, lightly brush the shearling with a soft garment brush.

• Store it on a wide, supportive hanger in a cool and ventilated wardrobe.

• Use a breathable garment cover rather than sealed plastic.

• Test any specialist leather-care product on a concealed section first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the cream shearling a separate lining?

No. The shearling wool is naturally attached to the sheepskin rather than being installed as a separate synthetic lining.

Is every jacket exactly the same shade of army green?

Minor variations are expected. Natural grain, dye absorption, the distressed finish, lighting and screen settings can affect how the colour appears.

Does this jacket have a boxy B3 fit?

No. It has a regular aviator fit with a straight body. It is less fitted than a biker jacket but not as oversized or boxy as many traditional B3 bombers.

Are the exterior pockets secured?

Yes. Both outside hand pockets use silver-tone zipper closures. A separate inside pocket provides additional storage.

Should I order a larger size?

Consider sizing up if you are between measurements or intend to wear thick knitwear. The naturally attached shearling reduces some of the internal space.

Can it be worn in rain?

It can handle occasional light moisture with proper aftercare, but it is not waterproof and should not be exposed to sustained rain.
