Men’s Shearling Burgundy Sheepskin Leather Jacket

Men’s Burgundy Shearling Sheepskin Jacket

Burgundy sheepskin with cream shearling showing at the lapels and the collar, an off centre zip, and snap tabs at the hem. The outside has the soft napped finish of the suede side of the hide.

Suede outside, shearling inside

This is sheepskin worn the traditional way round. The suede face of the hide is on the outside, and the fleece is on the inside, lining the jacket and folding out at the lapels. People search for a burgundy shearling jacket or a men’s shearling sheepskin jacket, and this is both.

Burgundy, oxblood or wine?

The shade is a deep burgundy with a brown undertone, close to oxblood. On the napped suede it reads softer than it would on smooth leather. Against the cream shearling it looks rich rather than loud.

Aviator or biker?

It gets searched as a burgundy aviator jacket and a sheepskin aviator jacket. The cut is closer to a biker, with an off centre zip and wide lapels, but the shearling puts it in the aviator family for warmth.

The lapels and the zip

The lapels fold back to show the shearling underneath. The zip sits off centre, and the hem closes with snap tabs so the jacket sits neatly at the waist.

Sizing

The shearling lining takes up room, so take your usual size and wear a thinner layer underneath. Measure round the fullest part of your chest over a t shirt and check the table. Sizes run XS to 3XL.

Looking after suede sheepskin

Keep it out of heavy rain. If it gets wet, let it dry away from heat, then brush the suede to lift the nap. Brush the shearling back up when it flattens. Use a cleaner who handles sheepskin.
