Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket

STYLE: 257S

(120)
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!

    B3 BOMBER FIT

    There's a reason why these jackets are conventionally sized and also a reason why people have sizing mishaps. I'm 196lbs and 6 ft and wear a 42 chest in almost everything. I don't have a wide midsection. I ordered a 42 and it fits me just fine. In my view, if you want to use this mostly in urban areas, you are likely not going to layer up much and so sizing down will give you a snug fit. If you are going to use it in truly very cold places, and layer up with say a thermal and a medium fleece, your regular size is perfect. You will definitely not need to size up.

    I got an 80s model second-hand, and it still holds up! Definitely a jacket that'll last

    FITS GREAT BUT QUALITY IMPRESSION NOT SO GOOD

    Published: Tue, 12/23/2025 by Robert DelRaso

    My B3 Bomber Jacket fits great on me - so comfortable and very warm but I was kind of bummed out- when I got this jacket the leather was more dry then smooth and also it was slightly discolored . It was LIGHT BROWN and just look dirty. So I had to oiled up and cleaned the jacket myself. Then I talked to some man who works at Schott and he told me they don't reoil and cleaned the jacket - they ship out as is. I couldn't believe. I paid over $1700 and get a jacket which the leather was dry and discolored LIGHT BROWN. I really wish Schott would clean and reoil the jacket BEFORE shipping out to me. You know you should always keep your customers happy that way. Also what I wish Schott would do is when they make the straps with the buckle- use a shiny brass buckle with Schott name on it - instead of the dirty looking buckles. I found that to be more attractive to style of the jacket especially when you buy a new jacket costing you over $1700.00. As matter of fact I also bought a Cockpit B3 Bomber last year- their leather was smooth and dark brown and their buckles was shiny brass with their name on it. I have nothing against Schott but I really think you should be cleaning and reoiling all your jackets BEFORE shipment. Also get rid of the dirty buckles on those straps and use the shiny buckles. But that's Schott call . I hope Schott would take my comments serious and think what I just said. I always have and I always do like Schott! I'm just trying to help them out on quality control on their bomber jackets Overall the B3 Bomber jacket is totally awesome. I really love it.

    WONDERFULLY CRAFTED, SUPER COZY

    As a kid, this was one my dream jackets…. Now that I’ve grown up, somewhere along the way, the desire to wear this wonderful jacket in the cold winter days came back. I bought it and have immediately fallen in love with it.
    The Craftmanship is fantastic, materials are of the best quality, and when I wear it I feel like I am being hugged by a warm friend.

    GREAT JACKET. WOW!

    Beautiful quality jacket. The fit is perfect. 6’ 205lbs, chest measurements 43’ and little on the slim side. I ordered a size 40 and the fit was just right. Jacket does run big so it’s best size down .

    It happened, everyone.

    I was out the other day, wearing this magnificent piece of unparalleled attire, when someone approached me and called me Leon Kennedy.

    I can die happy now.

    WHOA!

    I’ve only tried the coat on and I was “whoa!!” this felt so good putting on. I live in New Orleans and it’s possible I won’t get to wear it for our winter days, but I bought it for Chicago Bears and Tennessee Titans game this fall and winter just in case.

    VERY WARM AND DURABLE

    Back in 2004 I bought this jacket to celebrate my promotion and raise.

    The leather quality was very impressive for the price I got it for back then. There are a lot of pockets for those who have a lot of loose items. The stitching is very impressive and during some of my business trips this jacket had gone through some durability testing.

    As long as you take care of the jacket, it will remain beautiful.

    During a business trip to Europe I did unfortunately lost it. It was very warm and I highly recommend it!

    ANOTHER MASTERPIECE FROM SCHOTT!

    Published: Thu, 5/29/2025 by Vrscf1250

    I bought this jacket last year as a winter jacket, and it excels at keeping you warm! It excels so much that I only wear a T shirt under this jacket. And where I leave the winters can be very cold and windy. It's simple: i can wear it only in winter or late windy evening otherwise i get very warm in it!
    Other luxury brand have copied this style, but this is the original and best looking one!
    The size is larger than usual but this suits me well fot a winter jacket.
    Build quality is excellent. This is another jacket that can stay 10+ years in your closet!
    It may not be cheap but it is definitely worth every penny!
