Anything else
The Blacktop Gear Custom B3 Bomber is a men's aviator jacket in high quality sheepskin leather with a shearling lining and collar, built to your own specification. Black. Handmade to order in sizes S to 5XL at $205.91 with free delivery within the USA.
Design & Build
This is the B3 we build to order rather than to a fixed pattern. Colour, collar depth, pocket layout, body length, sleeve length. If you have worn a B3 before and know what you would change about it, this is the one to buy.
Most people change two things. The body length, because a standard B3 sits short and looks wrong on a taller frame. And the collar depth, because the traditional collar is deep enough to swallow a shorter neck.
The lining is shearling throughout, not just at the collar. That is what makes a B3 a B3 rather than a bomber with fur stitched round the neck. Shearling is wool still attached to the hide, so the whole body of the jacket insulates.
The shell is high quality sheepskin leather, chosen for wear resistance. This is a jacket you own for a decade.

Who buys this jacket
- Anyone who has owned a B3 and would change something. Body length and collar depth are the two most asked for
- Taller or shorter frames. A standard B3 sits short, which reads wrong above about six foot
- Riders in genuine cold. Shearling lines the whole jacket, not just the collar
How it is worn
Over a heavy knit, with dark denim and boots. Black on black is the easy version. If you order it longer in the body it will sit closer to a coat, which changes what you can wear it with.

Frequently asked questions
What can I change on this jacket?
Colour, collar depth, pocket layout, body length and sleeve length. Send your requirements with the order.
How is this different from your standard black B3?
Same materials and the same shearling lining. That one is built to a fixed pattern. This one is cut to whatever you ask for.
Is the shearling real?
Yes. The lining and collar are shearling, which is wool still attached to the hide.
What do most people change?
Body length and collar depth. A standard B3 sits short and the collar is deep, which suits some frames and not others.
Does customising cost extra?
No design charge for measurement or colour changes.
How warm is it?
Warm enough for winter riding. The B3 pattern was built for unheated aircraft.
Is it heavy?
Yes, real shearling is. That weight is the warmth.
How long does it take?
2 to 3 weeks from order confirmation.
How do I care for shearling?
Keep it dry and let it air after wearing. Brush the wool gently in the direction it lies. Do not machine wash. Real shearling needs specialist cleaning.
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.
