RAF B3 Aviator Shearling Bomber Leather Jacket

The Blacktop Gear Tan B3 Shearling Bomber is a men's B3-style aviator jacket in tan distressed leather with a cream shearling collar, cuffs and lining. Black leather trim, buckle straps at the cuffs and shearling-trimmed pockets give it a rugged, antique flight-jacket look. Handmade to order in sizes S to 5XL from $246, with free delivery within the USA.

Design & Build

The finish is the draw. This is a distressed tan leather with a warm ginger tone and an antique, worn look from the first day. Black leather piping outlines the panels and pockets, and a soft cream shearling lining folds over at the collar, the cuffs and the hem so the warmth is built in.

The fold-down collar fastens with leather throat straps against the wind. The front closes on a sturdy full-length zip, and each cuff carries a set of black buckle straps that let you close the sleeve tight over a glove. Two shearling-trimmed patch pockets sit at the waist, snap chest straps add flight-jacket detailing, and a small utility pocket sits on the left sleeve. 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 distressed tan and black trim give it more character than a plain single-colour bomber.

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 distressed tan, black trim and buckle cuffs are classic flight-jacket details with a worn-in look.
• Anyone who wants character. The antique finish and contrast piping give it more presence than a plain bomber.

How riders wear it

The distressed tan is the feature, so keep the rest simple — a knit or tee and dark denim, with brown or tan boots. Zip it up and fasten the throat and cuff straps in the cold, or fold the collar open for a softer look. 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, hem and pockets, with a distressed tan leather shell on the outside — the classic B3 build.

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

Will the distressed finish wear off?
The worn look is intentional. It ages and softens with use rather than fading to nothing, so the jacket keeps developing character.

What are the cuff buckles for?
Each cuff has black leather buckle straps so you can close the sleeve tight over a glove or open it out.

How warm is it?
Very. The B3 shape and shearling lining are built for real cold. The throat and cuff straps let you seal it against the wind.

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, trim, 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.
