Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket

STYLE: 257S

(100)
This B-3 is the classic WWII sheepskin leather "Bomber" jacket.

COLOR

    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!

    I LOVE THIS JACKET

    Published: Fri, 11/1/2024 by Zach M.

    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

    Published: Wed, 10/30/2024 by Patrick Bluett

    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.

    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.

    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.

    BEST BOMBER EVER

    Published: Wed, 3/27/2024 by Stu Jones

    I ordered this before going to the very North of Japan. Turned up spot on, superb. Size was awesome. Product itself, even better.
    I wore it on the first day with a t-shirt underneath - it was -12c. I then made any excuse I could think of to wear it every day, even when it warmed up a lot !
    First class delivery and even better product ! I have 3 Schott jackets now. Not sure that’s enough ……

    PERFECT !

    Published: Sun, 3/24/2024 by FD

    I'm very happy with my purchase. The jacket is very beautiful, the size is perfect (my chest size is 32 and size 32 fits me like a glove) and the delivery was super fast (I live in France and received my order in less than two days).
    I wish to thank the whole team for this great shopping experience : the production team, of course, for making this high-quality piece but also the commercial team for his responsiveness and his seriousness.

    GOOD, WITH SOME DISSAPOINTMENTS

    Published: Thu, 3/7/2024 by NC

    The jacket is very, very warm. I live in Canada, with winters reaching -35 degrees Celsius. With just a jumper and this jacket, I can't even feel the cold.

    That being said, I've had some issues. The fur on the cuff was sent to me bald in some places. I noticed the stitching is loose in areas as well.

    Schott allows you to send the jacket to be replaced, but because I live outside of the USA, I did not want to deal with the shipping fiasco and any additional costs associated with this near 2,000CAD jacket.

    I hope that these small issues don't turn into something bigger over time. But as of now (about 6 months in), the jacket has served me well. By far the most compliments I've ever received for a piece of clothing.

    MY ALL TIME FAVORITE JACKET!

    This is a fantastic jacket to wear during the winter and snow days! I always loved the look of it and when it came in the mail only one day after ordering it, I was very surprised by the speed of the delivery!

    The few things I would knit pick over though for such an expensive jacket at this price would be no inside pockets to store my wallet or anything small that I'd like to be in a pocket. Another thing would be the neck I feel like when I'm using it for support while I'm driving it's very rough. It could be me, but sometimes I feel like my necks lying on a rock when I'm driving or in general looking up.
