A Heavyweight Sheepskin Jacket with Two Ways to Wear It

This men’s nubuck sheepskin jacket combines a naturally textured leather exterior with a soft black shearling interior and a practical removable hood. Wear the hood for greater coverage during colder weather, or detach it to reveal the clean, shearling-lined stand collar.

The approximately 1.5 mm sheepskin construction gives the jacket a substantial feel, while the short, hip-length silhouette makes it easier to wear than a long winter coat. At approximately 2.5 kg, it is designed for customers who prefer genuine heavyweight outerwear rather than a lightweight leather fashion jacket.

Nubuck Sheepskin with Natural Tonal Character

The exterior has a matte nubuck surface with an olive-brown, naturally distressed appearance. Its softly brushed nap creates variations in shade depending on the direction of the fibres, lighting and movement.

These tonal differences are a normal feature of nubuck leather. The jacket may therefore show slight variation in colour, grain and surface texture compared with the photographs.

Inside, soft black shearling provides insulation throughout the body and is visible around the hood, collar, cuffs and lower edges. The dark interior creates a strong contrast against the earthy nubuck exterior.

Removable Hood and Stand Collar

The removable hood is lined with black shearling and shaped with multiple stitched panels to help it sit comfortably around the head. Adjustable drawcords allow the hood opening to be positioned closer to the face when needed.

Once the hood is removed, the jacket can be worn with its high stand collar. The shearling-lined collar provides coverage around the neck without requiring a scarf in moderately cold conditions.

YKK Front Closure and Pocket Layout

A metallic YKK zipper runs through the centre front and continues to the top of the collar. Tonal leather borders the zipper, with parallel topstitching helping to keep the closure area structured.

Two angled exterior zipper pockets are positioned at the lower front. Their slanted placement makes them easier to reach while maintaining the jacket’s clean shape. An interior pocket provides more discreet storage for smaller belongings.

Visible Stitching and Panel Construction

The photographs show tonal topstitching following the jacket’s major construction seams. Shaped shoulder panels, a central back seam and a horizontal lower-back seam give structure to the jacket without making it appear overly tailored.

Additional parallel stitching is visible around the front zipper and pocket openings. The underarm, shoulder and side panels are joined with closely spaced seams suited to the weight of the sheepskin.

The sleeves finish with straight cuffs rather than knitted ribbing or adjustment straps. A narrow edge of black shearling is visible at the cuff openings. The lower hem is also straight and finished with exposed shearling along its edge.

Fit Reference

The model is 5 feet 11 inches tall and wears size XL.

The XL garment shown has approximately:

• Jacket chest: 50 inches

• Back length: 27 inches

The 50-inch measurement refers to the finished jacket chest, not the model’s body measurement. Compare it with the chest measurement of a jacket you already own rather than relying only on your usual size label.

Because the black shearling occupies space inside the jacket, leave sufficient room for comfortable movement and any clothing you intend to wear underneath. The visual fit is relaxed without extending into a long or excessively oversized silhouette.

Who Is This Jacket For?

This jacket is suitable for someone looking for substantial winter outerwear with the flexibility of a removable hood. Its short length works well for walking, commuting and driving, while the heavyweight sheepskin construction provides more insulation than a standard leather bomber jacket.

It may not be the best choice for someone wanting lightweight outerwear, a slim fashion fit or a jacket that can be packed into a small space.

Important Considerations

• At approximately 2.5 kg, this is a noticeably heavy jacket.

• Nubuck can develop marks and tonal changes through regular handling.

• The jacket is not waterproof and should not be worn in prolonged rain.

• The thick shearling interior reduces the available internal space.

• Shade and surface texture can vary between natural hides.

• Actual weight and dimensions may vary slightly according to size.

• The detachable hood adds bulk around the collar when attached.

Nubuck and Shearling Care

• Remove loose surface dust with a soft nubuck brush.

• Brush gently and consistently in the direction of the leather nap.

• Do not apply ordinary leather polish, wax or household cleaning products.

• Allow the jacket to dry naturally if it becomes damp.

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

• Store it on a wide, supportive hanger.

• Avoid prolonged compression of the hood and shearling.

• Use a leather and shearling specialist for deep cleaning.

• Test any specialist nubuck-care product on a concealed area first.
