Colonel Men’s Cream Bomber Leather Jacket

Men’s Cream Leather Jacket with a Shearling Collar

Pale cream leather with a matching shearling collar that folds back over the shoulders. The zip runs across the front at an angle rather than straight up the middle. It is a light coloured jacket built for cold weather, which is a rarer combination than it sounds.

Cream, stone or off white?

The shade reads cream indoors and lifts closer to a pale stone outdoors. If you searched for a mens cream leather jacket or a cream leather bomber, this is the one you were looking at. It is worth knowing it is not a bright white, so it sits more easily with other colours than a true white would.

The shape, and what to call it

People search for this as a cream bomber jacket, and it is close, but the cut is an aviator rather than a true bomber. A bomber has a ribbed collar, cuffs and hem. This has an off centre zip, a folded shearling collar and belted cuffs. If the ribbed waistband is what you pictured, our bomber jackets cover that properly.

What it is made of

Real leather with a viscose lining, which is the smooth lining that lets it go on over a jumper. A YKK zip closes the front. Two pockets outside and two more inside.

The collar, which does most of the work

The shearling collar folds down across the shoulders and turns up to close round the neck. That is where the warmth is, and it is why this jacket handles a cold morning that a plain leather jacket would not. The belted cuffs close at the wrist for the same reason.

Sizing

The collar adds bulk at the neck and shoulders, so measure round the fullest part of your chest over a jumper rather than a shirt. Use the table on this page rather than your usual high street size. Sizes run XS to 3XL.

Living with cream leather

It marks more readily than a dark hide, so deal with anything while it is fresh. A damp cloth and cold water for everyday dirt. A cleaner who handles pale leather for anything worse. Brush the shearling collar back up when it flattens. Keep it out of strong sunlight.
