Inspired by early 40s type B-3 Flight jackets from the Second World War and revisited with a unique Italian touch, the “Aviatore” B-3 Shearling Jacket represents an authentic garment made of Italian Shearling Sheepskin reinforced with leather trimmings in Full Grain Tea-Core Steerhide from Vicenza (Italy)).
Our Italian Merino Shearling Sheepskin, tanned in a small Tannery in Tuscany (Italy) is first grade Sheepskin, one of the softest and durable leather in the world. It ages beautifully, developing fantastic fades, creases and patina. The Merino Shearling Sheepskin is incredibly durable and long-lasting. The natural fibers of Sheepskin are strong and resilient, making the “Aviatore” Jacket resistant to wear and tear, withstanding many years of hard use. This durability makes the “Aviatore” a worthwhile investment that will last for a Lifetime.
The Shearling Sheepskin is the perfect natural insulator for cold weather. The soft sheep wool encases your body, ensuring maximum body warmth retention and at the same time wicking away excess moisture when the body generates it.
The Full Grain Tea-Core Steerhide has been aged by hand, giving it a real antique look. This Leather will change color with the wear, developing a unique Patina on the jacket, as a personal journey. The Black Tea-core Leather will begin to reveal the natural color under-layer, showing signs of time when it’s exposed to the elements and daily use, showing awesome scratches and fades in a various shades of golden and brown tone.
The bikers who sport the B-3 Jackets on cold winter road trips rely on their rugged and tough exteriors as much as they do on their soft and pliable interiors. The B-3 Jacket is a perfect reflection of their bravery and determination, providing much needed protection and comfort.
The metallic zippers by Talon® are made of antique brass with engraved markings.
The attention to detail makes it a rare and authentic B-3 Jacket Hand Made in Italy.
