Men's Tan Brown RAF Sheepskin Aviator Jacket

Tan Brown RAF Flight Jacket with High Cream Faux Shearling Collar and Button Front

The Men's Tan Brown RAF Sheepskin Aviator Jacket brings a distinctive approach to classic flight-inspired outerwear. Instead of the conventional zip-front B3 bomber, this design features a tall cream faux-shearling collar, contrasting black buttons, shearling-faced patch pockets and wide turnback cuffs.

Crafted from genuine 1.3 mm vegetable-tanned sheepskin leather, the jacket combines a naturally varied tan-brown exterior with plush synthetic shearling-style detailing. Weighing approximately 2.5 kg, depending on size, it is a substantial winter jacket designed for customers who prefer a structured aviation-inspired silhouette.

Naturally Varied Tan Brown Sheepskin Leather

The jacket's light tan-brown exterior features subtle differences in tone and surface texture, giving the leather a distinctive appearance without relying on artificial distressing.

Its 1.3 mm genuine sheepskin construction provides a substantial outer layer, while vegetable tanning uses plant-derived tannins during leather processing.

Minor variations in grain, shade and surface character are normal characteristics of genuine leather. With regular wear and appropriate care, the finish may develop additional tonal character.

The clean back design features a vertical center seam, while tonal topstitching follows the shoulders, sleeves and major leather panels.

High Cream Faux Shearling Collar and Covered Button Closure

Unlike traditional B3 bombers with broad fold-down lapels, this RAF-inspired jacket uses a tall, relatively narrow collar that creates a distinctive upright silhouette.

Cream faux shearling extends along the front opening, contrasting with the tan-brown leather and drawing attention to the jacket's button-front construction.

A series of black buttons secures the shearling-faced placket, giving the garment a more traditional coat-like fastening arrangement than an exposed metal zipper.

The collar can be worn raised for additional neck coverage or folded down for a more relaxed appearance.

The interior features synthetic faux shearling, while matching cream-colored material appears around the collar, front edges, cuffs and lower hem.

The exterior is genuine sheepskin leather; the shearling-style material is synthetic, not natural sheepskin wool.

Shearling-Faced Patch Pockets and Turnback Cuffs

The two large exterior patch pockets are among the jacket's most recognizable design details.

Each pocket features a cream faux-shearling facing that contrasts against the tan leather body. Their lower-front placement provides accessible storage while maintaining the jacket's balanced appearance.

An additional interior pocket offers a separate compartment for smaller personal belongings.

The sleeves finish with wide faux-shearling turnback cuffs instead of conventional rib-knit trims. A matching cream band continues around the lower hem.

Together, these details create a consistent brown-and-cream design from the collar to the waist.

Substantial Construction and 8 SPI Topstitching

This jacket uses 8 stitches per inch (SPI) topstitching with bonded nylon thread along its visible construction lines.

Its panelled design includes a clean center-back seam, shaped sleeve sections and neatly finished leather edges.

At approximately 2.5 kg, the jacket is noticeably more substantial than a lightweight fashion bomber. Actual weight can vary according to garment size and manufacturing tolerances.

Winter Styling, Sizing and Leather Care

The cream trim and tan-brown leather make this jacket particularly suitable for pairing with dark denim, black boots and neutral winter knitwear.

Its substantial construction and faux-shearling interior are intended for cold-weather layering, although individual warmth and comfort depend on weather conditions and clothing worn underneath.

Available in XS–5XL, with a custom-size option listed, the jacket should be selected by checking chest, shoulder and sleeve measurements against our Size Guide.

For maintenance, remove dry surface dust with a soft cloth and avoid prolonged moisture exposure or direct heat. Do not machine wash or use ordinary shoe polish. For deep cleaning, consult a professional experienced with vegetable-tanned leather.

With its upright collar, covered button fastening and distinctive cream-faced pockets, this tan-brown RAF jacket offers an alternative to conventional zip-front leather bombers.
