Inspired by early 1940s 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 Veg Tanned Vacchetta by Carlo Badalassi®, one the best Tannery in the world.
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 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.

Christopher (verified owner) –
This is my second leather jacket from shangri-la heritage and it is again a real piece of art. The colour is really very special and at the same time a timeless classic that will also look fantastic in 20 years from now.
All the small details like the brass zipper, the vacchetta leather and the collar closing mechanism make it even more sophisticated.
I am 178cm tall and 87kg heavy, muscular but not really slim and size L fits very good with a shirt underneath as well as with a thick pullover.
I’m really happy with my purchase and recommend the jacket to everyone searching for a high quality jacket that also looks really really good and will keep you warm!
