A WWII-Inspired Sheepskin Flying Parka
Built around the substantial proportions of vintage military cold-weather outerwear, this B-7 flying parka combines a longer silhouette with genuine sheepskin construction and an oversized shearling-lined hood. Its dark brown body, contrasting leather reinforcement panels and exposed tan shearling create a rugged, deliberately utilitarian appearance.
Unlike a waist-length bomber jacket, this parka extends below the hips for increased coverage. The relaxed shape leaves space for winter layering, while the natural shearling interior helps retain warmth without requiring a separately attached synthetic lining.
Genuine 1.2 mm Sheepskin Construction
The coat is made from approximately 1.2 mm genuine sheepskin leather with soft shearling visible around the hood, centre opening, cuffs and hem. Because genuine sheepskin is a natural material, minor differences in grain, shade and wool character can occur between individual coats.
The main exterior has a deep brown finish that can appear almost black under low lighting. Medium-brown leather panels reinforce the lower pockets and provide tonal contrast across the front.
Oversized Shearling Hood
The large integrated hood is fully edged and lined with warm shearling. When lowered, it forms a broad protective collar around the neck and shoulders; when raised, it provides additional coverage around the head and sides of the face.
Leather drawcords and small metal adjusters allow the hood opening to be drawn closer during windy conditions. The hood is fixed rather than presented as a removable accessory.
Leather-Tab Button Closure
The front closes with four large buttons secured through individual leather loop tabs. This closure style preserves the coat’s vintage flying-parka character while allowing the thick shearling-edged front panels to overlap naturally.
There is no main front zipper. Zippers are used only on the two upper pockets.
Four-Pocket Front Design
The image shows four functional exterior pockets:
The upper pockets use dark metal zippers with leather-trimmed openings. The lower patch pockets are constructed from lighter brown leather and reinforced with visible edge stitching.
Panelled Construction and Stitching
Vertical front panels shape the body while reinforced leather trim follows the shoulders, centre opening, waist and pocket edges. Visible tonal topstitching secures the contrasting panels and helps maintain the structured military-inspired appearance.
The shoulder seams are reinforced with narrow leather strips, while the larger lower pocket panels use perimeter stitching to distribute strain across the surrounding leather.
Cuffs and Hem
Full-length sleeves finish with turn-back shearling cuffs and leather tab detailing. The cuffs can be adjusted slightly by changing the amount of exposed shearling.
A straight, shearling-trimmed hem completes the longer parka shape. The exposed wool along the lower edge helps reduce cold air entering underneath the coat.

Who This Parka Is For
This coat suits customers who want more coverage than a traditional bomber but do not want the full length of a trench coat. Its substantial sheepskin construction, large hood and relaxed cut make it particularly suitable for winter travel, outdoor use and vintage military-inspired wardrobes.
For additional long and hooded styles, explore the shearling coat collection. Customers looking for shorter aviation-inspired outerwear can also compare designs in the B-3 bomber shearling jacket collection.
Fit Guidance
The shearling interior adds thickness, so this coat will feel more substantial than an ordinary leather jacket. Compare your measurements with the finished-garment size chart and allow enough room for the natural wool and intended winter layers. If you are between sizes, the larger option may provide more comfortable movement.
