Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket

B-17s and B-24s were not pressurized and the unheated cabins got awfully cold at altitude. This sheepskin jacket kept our bomber crews warm during their perilous missions in the skies over Europe.

The B-3 bomber jacket is clearly a winner in both warmth and style. Even non-aviators like Gen. George Patton chose to wear a specially-modified version of the B-3 (instead of the standard tanker's jacket). You too can rely on this classic heavyweight shearling to keep you warm on the coldest winter day, and you can count on its enduring style to survive the fickle trends of fashion!

FOREVER JACKET

Published: Wed, 1/15/2025 by RodM

I was visiting NYC and wanted to pick up a B3. I stopped on Delancy street to see if I can pick one up. I walked into many stores and all of them tried to sell me something that was NOT a B3 shearling. The guy followed me out of the store and asked what price did I want. to pay. I told him I did not have a price. I told him the jacket is already sold, I just need to find it. I looked at my phone and Schott was only a few blocks away. I walked in, I saw the Jacket, tried it on, fell in love, and took it home. It will be the last winter jacket I will ever have to buy.

My only wish is that they made hats that went along with the jacket.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!

I received my jacket on Wednesday and I absolutely love it! I was reading reviews from others complaining about the fit of the jacket I'm so glad I stuck to my guns and didn't buy into the so called oversize issue raised by so many. My jacket fits like a glove! Perfect for wearing layers underneath as the coat was originally designed. I'm retired Military (USMC) and appreciate the craftsmanship and the professionalism placed into the construction of each jacket. I bought this in honor of my Grandfather and uncles and cousins that served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I'm an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran and find this jacket absolutely amazing! Well done Schott for making and delivering such a well made jacket! Highly recommended and I plan on getting a B2 jacket next. Semper Fidelis!

PERFECT FOR RESCUING THE DAUGHTERS OF HEADS OF STATE

Very comfortable, very warm, and a killer look. There’s a reason Leon Kennedy wore this jacket and it’s freaking awesome. Best purchase I’ve made this year.

SIZING

Published: Sun, 11/24/2024 by Eric

For those who need info about the sizing: as it is now common knowledge, this jacket runs big. My measurements are: height - 173cm (5'8), weight - 73kg (162 pounds), chest size - 97 cm (38"). Initially I bought a size 38 (the site recommended such size) but it was far too big for me, especially in the shoulders and sleeves. Now I've got myself a size 34. This size would not allow me much in terms of layering but looks-wise it is as close to perfect as it can get.

My suggestion would be to size down at least one size for an "intended" fit and two sizes down for a slim and most "tailored" look.

I LOVE THIS JACKET

I’m so finally glad to have an incredible B3 jacket after having a few different ones before this, this one takes the cake! I’ve been wanting this jacket for over a year and the quality and detail on it is phenomenal. It did take me 2 returns to get the right size as I wanted mine to be more fitted and I just want to wear it over a t shirt or a light long sleeve so keep in mind if that’s what you are going for you may want to order two sizes down than what you’re thinking as this jacket is made a bit big. ITS AN AMAZING JACKET!

ANOTHER HEIRLOOM

This is my THIRD jacket from Schott and I'm thrilled. Do not listen to the sizing calculator here - I've got a 42.5" chest (5'10" and 185lbs muscular build) and the calculator put me at a size 42! I bought the 40 assuming it would run large and even that was too big! I wear a 38 just right and it's got a slightly tailored look just like Leon from RE ;)

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING (SOME COMMENTS ON SIZES)

Published: Fri, 10/25/2024 by Daniel Vilar

This review might be a little bit long but informative.

FINALLY. This is literally the jacket of my dreams! I remember seeing the RE4 remake and just thinking that I had to buy it. It is pricey but its undoubtedly a work of art that will last for a lifetime due to its unmatched quality.

NOW FOR SIZING...Heed my words, the jacket is bigger than you think it is. I am 172cm with a 42 inch chest and a very muscular build. The measurements in the site advised me on a size 42 as a "standard" which ended up in me having to return the jacket due to how big the arms and the overall size was!

I received the size 40 today and it fits perfectly. Not too tight, not too loose. That said, if you are looking for a standard fit, unless you are extremely skinny or too overweight, I recommend you to buy one size down from what the site recommends you.

The exchange process was grueling due to fedex charging me again for the duties that I had paid and just a bunch of issues with them understanding that this was an exchange order. I live in Canada so I bet that the exchange must be way easier being in the states.

Overall, while a bit annoyed at the experience with the sizing and the exchange, this jacket is the best one that I have ever received and I love it.

HIGHEST QUALITY

Best jacket for warmth and comfort especially for living in Minnesota. This Jacket will keep me warm even in the bitter cold in January. The shearling and leather of this jacket is of the highest quality you can buy.

A GREAT BOMBER!

CONFIDENCE BOOSTER

Published: Thu, 9/26/2024 by Jacob

The package arrived with tape methodically placed on the box. Branded tape, mind you. Eagerly I carefully cut along the edges and wrapped in branded paper I find the coat of my dreams.

First impression was how heavy this is. How "sturdy" it feels. There was no skimping on anything. The inside was luxurious and the outside was soft (but a bit stiff, as you'd expect with a leather jacket such as this). I am 5 foot 10 & about 160 pounds and ordered a size 34 and it was a perfect snug fit. Pockets are spacious and the zipper is flawless.

I am eager for it to get cold so I can wear this daily. Nuclear winter can't come soon enough.
