Army B-3 Shearling Brown Leather Aviator Jacket

The Blacktop Gear Army B3 Shearling Aviator is a men's B3-style flight bomber in dark brown leather with a cream shearling collar, cuffs and lining. Loaded with buckle straps and zip pockets, it runs a full front zip, a strapped collar and a belted waist. Handmade to order in sizes S to 4XL from $220, with free delivery within the USA.

Design & Build

This is the fully-loaded take on the B3 aviator. The shell is a deep dark brown leather with a soft cream shearling lining that folds over at the collar, the cuffs and the hem, so the warmth is built in and the fur trim is thick. The fold-down collar fastens with buckle straps at the throat to close it up against the wind.

The front closes on a sturdy full-length zip backed by a leather storm facing. Two vertical zip pockets sit on the front for secure storage, snap chest straps add to the flight-jacket detailing, and a buckled leather waist belt with side buckle straps lets you cinch the hem in for a closer fit and a better seal. Antique-finish hardware runs throughout.

It is a substantial, warm jacket cut in the cropped B3 silhouette — the style that has kept riders warm for decades. The dark brown leather, cream fur and heavy strapping give it a rugged, tactical aviator look.

Specifications

Who buys this jacket

• Cold-weather riders. The shearling collar, cuffs and lining make this a true winter jacket built to seal in heat.
• Aviator and heritage fans. The strapped collar, chest tabs and belted waist are classic flight-jacket details taken up a notch.
• Anyone who wants a rugged look. The heavy strapping and dark brown leather give it a tactical edge over a plain bomber.

How riders wear it

The dark-brown-and-cream combo is a classic, so keep the rest simple — a knit or tee and dark denim, with brown or tan boots. Zip it up and buckle the collar straps in the cold, or fold the collar open for a softer look. Cinch the waist belt and side buckles to seal the hem. For a B3 fit wear your normal size; to layer a thick knit underneath, size up one step.

Size Chart — Men's Jackets

Measure around the fullest part of your chest — or your stomach if it is larger — and use the larger body measurement. Size up for a more relaxed fit or to layer underneath.

Garment measurements refer to the finished jacket; body measurements refer to the wearer. The shearling lining takes up some room, so if you are between sizes or layering, size up. This jacket runs S to 4XL. For centimetres and the full measuring guide see our Size Guide. If you fall between sizes we build to your own measurements at no design charge.

Frequently asked questions

Is it shearling-lined?
Yes. It has a shearling lining that shows at the collar, cuffs and hem, with a dark brown leather shell on the outside — the classic B3 build.

Is the leather real?
Yes, the shell is genuine leather and the lining is shearling.

How warm is it?
Very. The B3 shape and shearling lining are built for real cold. The collar straps, chest tabs and waist belt let you seal it tight against the wind.

What are all the straps for?
The collar buckles close the throat, the snap chest straps are flight-jacket detailing, and the waist belt and side buckles cinch the hem for a closer fit.

Does the waist adjust?
Yes. A buckled leather belt and side buckle straps let you pull the waist in.

Which size should I order?
Measure your chest at the fullest part and match it to the chart. The shearling lining takes up room, so if you are between sizes or layering, size up. Between sizes, send your measurements and we build to them at no extra charge.

Do you make sizes above 4XL?
S to 4XL is the standard run for this jacket. If you need a larger size, message us and we will quote a made-to-measure build.

How long does it take?
Each jacket is made to order in about 2–3 weeks, then shipped free within the USA.

Can I change the colour or details?
Yes. The leather colour, lining, pockets and hardware are all open on a custom build — tell us what you want and we quote it before you order.

Where is it made?
Blacktop Gear is a US brand. Every piece is designed in the USA and handmade in our own factory rather than outsourced to a third-party manufacturer — which is how we control the leather grade and the stitching on every order. Delivery within the USA is free.
