She is so cold natured, but she did not like the bulkiness, and the offset zipper. We went on eBay, and found a barely used Harley racer jacket, that’s rather tastefully done, as some of their jackets can be a little tacky. She does not have a decent jacket.

[@RyanJZacher]

I’m unable to wear wool and fleece for multiple reasons, and it isn’t an optimal look for me anyway, so it’s not a huge loss for my wardrobe. I do, however, tend to prefer sheepskin over other types of leathers, and I both look and feel amazing in a well-fitted black sheepskin leather jacket. As for shearling jackets, I’m comfortable as an admirer of those who can pull off the look, including you, Antonio. 🖤

I sold a real WW2 B-17 co-pilot's bomber jacket on eBay a few years ago for $300. I bought it for $40 at an estate sale of a B-17 co-pilot who had died. I was asking $500 but took the lower offer when I was told it was going to a museum. They were overjoyed to have it and I made some money.

[@GenericUser452]

For a real one, not faux it's expensive - around $1500 USD new. Schott NYC sells the B3 that Leon Kennedy's jacket was based on. Cockpit USA sells the RAF Shearling Tom Hardy wore. Overland sells some cheaper but authentic shearling jackets around $700-$900 new too.

I bought the Thursday shearing collar flight jacket. It is not warm at all. The shearing is only on the collar. The rest of the jacket is super thin with no shearing. The collar is also so big that it makes you look like you have no shoulders. I bought two of them and decided to return one of them. I’m keeping one because it advances my experience with clothing and leather jackets in particular even if I know I will not be wearing it that much.

[@trumpnation4198]

By far the baddest jackets on the planet!! Nothing is even close.

[@Bateluer]

I won't deny these jacket styles look great, but coming from a very warm climate, these are only wearable items for 2 months out of the year. And in the early morning and very late afternoon, at that. My two jackets are a simple denim jacket and a brown canvas jacket, but they're also only items I wear during Nov-Jan.

[@johnwt7333]

[@jt1559]

I too live in a country where it doesn't get that cold in winter, and I don't have any winter jackets or coats. It's a leather jacket and a cotton jacket, and if I travel somewhere cold, I just layer up. These jackets look great, but they aren't appropriate where I live.

[@Bateluer]

@@jt1559 The struggle is real, isn't it? So many of the stylish suits, jackets, leather bombers, etc, all look great. But the range when they be worn makes it hard to justify the price. My 'winter' wardrobe consists of a denim jacket, a canvas jacket, and a couple hoodies.

[@Venejan]

Yeah, it's a real shame! Even here in central Europe the temperature scarcely ever dips below freezing nowadays, so I'd probably only get to wear one of these jackets once or twice per year without sweating to death!

[@voodoo7008]

Same here. It’s yet to hit freezing here. I have a heavy company supplied work coat that I never use. I layer up, and peel off layers as it warms up. I just got my first leather jacket in 20 years, and it’s simple, with light quilting inside.

[@zcharg0]

I’m 44 years old and 6’4” and athletic build. I have tried a whole bunch of leather jackets in recent months including the B3 shearling from respected leather jacket brand.

[@atvega7]

Another great episode. I've owned four of these in the past two decades. They are absolutely worth the investment. I currently own a chocolate brown shearling with black fur. The hood is detachable. The shearling I had prior is black with black and gray fur. I currently use that one for shoveling. The bomber style is a classic. I found a high end designer 3/4 length (kinda like a pea coat) but it was comparable to a mortgage payment... It was very nice, in an overcoat style. Beautiful piece. Last note, in addition to it keeping you warm and looking stylish, you really are the only one in a room with one on. I've been able to wear mine with jeans, slacks and even over a suit.

[@lukasbejcek8841]

Hi, nice to meet such a leather jackets lover! Four shearling jackets in the past two decades, that is very much! But I am not much worse, I have worn 3 leather jackets, now I am having one shearling and one black lamb leather. What kind of fur do your jackets have? Do you mean the shearling fur, or is it combined with other animal´s fur (rabbit...)?

[@atvega7]

@lukasbejcek8841 Mine have all been lambskin and wool (traditional shearlings, bomber style). The exterior finish have all been suaded. I don't care much for the hardened finish. I typically have taken mine in for restoration after its 3rd year. They get cleaned, re die, etc. Totally worth the investment as each coat has lasted me years. My current coat is going on 6 years and only this year, the handle to the zipper of my hood has broken. It's a very easy fix. I absolutely love ny shearling.

[@lukasbejcek8841]

@@atvega7 Thanks, bud. I like the combination, one light leather jacket for warmer weather and the warm shearling-fur jacket for winter. So, I can walk in leather for a nice part of year. I love leather, it is a natural material and suits every man very much. And I wear winter boots with real lamb fur inside and lamb leather outside, they are also great and keep my foots in warm and in the absolute comfort. And yes, shearling jackets are very distinctive and give us a masculine look. When I come to a group of men, I notice that one who is wearing something like this at the first sight! And the same experrience on myself. People have a great admiration for it - although I have also met a vegan who said: "Poor lambs" 😁 Stupid folks. I also love the details on the natural leather, the folds, the leather patina... I would never wear faux leather, the lamb skin is a must-be. I am so pleased to have met you, bud! Be faithful to leather and shearling and feel freee to write any thoughts on leather or tips!

In blade runner 2049. The costume designer made Ryan gosling's jacket out of urethane coated cotton and synthetic fur.

[@macmorgan6685]

My parents got me my first sheepskin coat when I was 16-17yrs old. I don’t remember the exact year but it was prior to 1965. It was made by McGreggor and was real sheepskin (shearling) throughout. Unfortunately it was left somewhere and lost. Over the years a few more shearling coats came and went including one from the Cockpit, a NYC purveyor of vintage flying gear for us posers of fashion. I felt above it all as my father and uncle had been early aviators from the 20s and 30s and military pilots during WWll and probably had a collection of all the original high altitude gear needed back in the day. I still have a couple of shearling pieces but have found the old style military sheepskin flying jacket of WWll a bit too much for today’s trendy society… that is unless your flying an old Stearman biplane

When talking about its resurgence the past couple of decades from media (such as 2012's The Dark Knight Rises), I was really disappointed that you never mentioned the biggest reason of all: Leon S. Kennedy, and specifically, Resident Evil 4. The game was released in 2005 for the GameCube, and further popularized by the awesome 2007 Wii release. Leon absolutely killed it in that game, proving to the consummate, stylish tough guy. He literally made that jacket, and made me do everything to look it up, buy it, and wear it proudly. Bonus style: It goes great with fingerless sap gloves.

If you're going to shop for shearling bomber jackets why not just go to the source? The first company to put a zipper on a jacket *IN THE WORLD* was Schott NYC. They fabricated and supplied U.S. aircrews during both wars, and they still craft them today. I personally own several of their jackets and they're outstanding. Even the zippers glide with precision. In my opinion they have no peers. Even if a customer has a custom design they'd like to own (Blade Runner 2049) they'd be happy to accommodate after taking your measurements. Do they cost more? Yes. But they're built to last with premium materials. Cheers!🍺
