The Men’s Sheepskin RAF Airforce Pilot Shearling Jacket is a tribute to the legendary "Irvin" flight jackets worn by the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain. It is the gold standard for aviator style, combining a heroic silhouette with the raw, natural warmth of high-altitude gear. Whether you are navigating a winter commute or exploring the open road, this jacket provides an unmatched level of protection and timeless authority.
Key Features
-
Material: 100% Genuine Double-Face Sheepskin. The exterior is a thick, windproof Dark Ginger or Chocolate leather, while the interior is a solid wall of natural cream sheepskin wool. These layers are bonded by nature, providing the highest warmth-to-weight ratio available.
-
The RAF Double-Buckle Collar: Features the signature oversized shearling collar with dual leather throat latches. This allows you to stand the collar up and buckle it tight, creating a "hood-like" seal against freezing wind and snow.
-
Military-Grade Reinforcement: Designed with strips of genuine cowhide leather over every seam. This "taped seam" construction is not just for the iconic look; it prevents the sheepskin from losing its shape and ensures the jacket is virtually indestructible.
-
Industrial Hardware: Equipped with a heavy-duty, oversized YKK front zipper and adjustable waist buckles that allow you to cinch the hem, preventing heat from escaping and wind from entering.
-
Adjustable Cuffs: The sleeves feature zippered cuffs with shearling trim, allowing you to wear them open over heavy gloves or zipped tight for a sleek, tapered fit.
-
Underarm Ventilation: Features traditional brass underarm grommets to ensure breathability, keeping you comfortable as your body temperature regulates.
-
Storage: Two deep, fleece-lined "map pockets" at the waist, perfectly angled for easy access and hand warming.
The Aviator's Advantage
The Original Life-Saver: Originally designed for pilots in unheated cockpits, the RAF Aviator jacket is a masterpiece of functional engineering. Unlike synthetic parkas, sheepskin is naturally water-repellent and fire-resistant, and it breathes with your body. It’s a substantial, heavy-duty garment that feels like wearing a layer of armor against the elements.
Style Inspiration
The RAF Aviator is a dominant piece of outerwear. Keep your base layers lean to balance the volume—pair it with slim-straight selvedge denim, a heavyweight grey hoodie, and lace-up heritage boots. It’s a look that feels just as at home in 2026 as it did in 1940.
