Men's Black B3 RAF Flight Bomber Aviator Real Sheepskin Shearling Leather Jacket

The Blacktop Gear Black B3 Shearling Aviator is a men's B3-style flight bomber in black leather with a shearling collar, cuffs and lining. Built for real cold, it runs a full front zip, a throat strap at the collar and buckle straps at the waist. Handmade to order in sizes S to 5XL from $180, with free delivery within the USA.

Design & Build

This is the classic B3 aviator shape — the heavy sheepskin flight jacket built to hold heat at altitude. The shell is black leather with a soft shearling lining that shows at the fold-down collar, the cuffs and the hem, so the warmth is built in rather than added on. The collar fastens with a throat strap so you can button it up against the wind.

The front closes on a sturdy full-length zip. Two slanted welt hand pockets sit at the front for warmth and storage, and buckle straps at each side of the waist let you cinch the hem in for a closer fit and a better seal against the cold. Antique-finish hardware runs throughout.

It is a substantial, warm jacket cut in the cropped B3 silhouette — the style that has kept pilots and riders warm for decades. The all-black finish keeps it modern and easy to wear, on the bike or off it.

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 B3 shape, throat strap and waist buckles are classic flight-jacket details in a clean all-black finish.
• Anyone who wants warmth without bulk of a parka. The cropped B3 cut keeps you warm while staying easy to move in on the bike.

How riders wear it

All-black keeps it simple — wear it over a tee or knit and dark denim, with black or brown boots. Zip it to the throat strap with the shearling collar up in the cold, or fold the collar open for a softer look. Cinch the waist buckles to seal the hem against the wind. 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. 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 black 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 throat strap and waist buckles let you seal it tight against the wind.

Does the collar close up?
Yes. The fold-down shearling collar fastens with a throat strap to close out the wind, and folds open for a softer look.

Does the waist adjust?
Yes. Buckle straps at each side of the waist let you cinch the hem in for a closer fit and a better seal.

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 5XL?
S to 5XL 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.
