Men’s Black Shearling Jacket | Oversized Leather Aviator

 Men’s Black Oversized Shearling Aviator Leather Jacket

A black shearling jacket built for proper British winters. The outside is smooth black lambskin leather and the inside is the sheep’s own fleece, so the warmth comes from the hide itself rather than a lining stitched in afterwards. A tan shearling collar and turned-back cuffs break up the black and give this men’s black shearling jacket its aviator character.

Real lambskin shearling

Shearling is lambskin tanned with the wool left on. One layer does two jobs: the leather blocks the wind and the dense fleece traps heat close to your body. It is why shearling jackets for men have stayed a winter staple for decades, and it breathes better than synthetic padding, so you stay warm on a cold platform without overheating the moment you step inside.

An oversized, aviator-inspired shape

The cut is roomy through the body and sleeves, finished with a banded leather hem. That makes it an easy oversized shearling jacket to layer over a chunky knit or hoodie, and it looks more current than a fitted flying jacket. Two adjustable leather straps with metal eyelets sit at the collar, a nod to the classic sheepskin flying jacket, and you can fasten them to close the collar against the wind.

Details that do the work

A silver-tone two-way zip runs the full length of the front, so you can open it from the bottom when you sit down or drive. Two slanted welt pockets sit at hand height. The shearling cuffs fold back over the sleeve ends and keep draughts out at the wrist.

How to wear it

Black and tan is an easy pairing. Wear this black leather shearling jacket over a grey hoodie and dark denim at the weekend, or with a roll-neck and charcoal trousers when you need to look sharper. If you like the warmth of a shearling bomber but want a bolder silhouette, this is the one.

Sizing

The jacket is cut oversized, so take your usual size for the relaxed fit shown. If you prefer a closer fit, go one size down. Check the size chart, or chat with us if you are between sizes.

Caring for shearling

Do not machine wash. Brush the fleece gently to keep it soft and wipe the leather with a dry cloth. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally away from radiators. A specialist leather clean once a season keeps a black sheepskin jacket looking good for years.
