Men’s Two-Tone B-3 RAF Flying Aviator Sheepskin Jacket - The Vintage Contrast | Full Grain Apparel
The Men’s Two-Tone B-3 RAF Flying Aviator is a visually striking homage to the early days of military aviation. While most bombers stick to a single shade, this "Contrast Edition" highlights the architectural beauty of the B-3 design. By using contrasting leather for the structural tapes and trim, we’ve created a jacket that looks more structured, more rugged, and more historically detailed than any other in our collection.
Key Features
-
Material: 100% Genuine Double-Face Sheepskin. The body is crafted from a rich Chestnut or Tan leather, while the reinforcement tapes and trim are finished in a contrasting Deep Dark Brown or Mahogany. The interior is a massive wall of natural cream-colored shearling wool.
-
The Two-Tone Visual: The darker cowhide leather strips used for the taped seams create a "scaffolding" effect over the lighter body. This emphasizes the classic "windowpane" construction used by the Royal Air Force to prevent the sheepskin from stretching.
-
RAF Signature Collar: Features the oversized shearling collar with dual dark-brown leather buckles. The color contrast between the collar straps and the body adds a sophisticated, high-end look to the neck area.
-
High-Altitude Insulation: This is a heavyweight winter piece. The natural wool pile acts as a biological heat-trap, while the dense leather exterior serves as an impenetrable windbreaker.
-
Adjustable Hardware: Outfitted with an industrial-grade antique brass YKK zipper and adjustable buckled straps at the waist. Cinching the darker waist-belts allows you to trap heat while adding to the jacket's dual-toned aesthetic.
-
Sleeve Detail: Features zippered cuffs that, when rolled back, reveal the plush cream wool against the dark brown leather trim—a hallmark of the "Flying Aviator" look.
-
Storage: Two deep, hand-warmer welt pockets, reinforced with the darker contrast leather for added durability at high-wear points.
The Two-Tone Advantage
Defined Silhouette: The primary benefit of the two-tone design is its ability to "frame" the wearer. The dark lines of the seam tapes create a more structured, athletic appearance compared to a monochromatic jacket. It is the perfect choice for the man who appreciates the technical details of military gear and wants a jacket that stands out in a crowd.
Style Inspiration
Because of the dual-color palette, this jacket is incredibly easy to match. Pair it with dark tan chinos to pull out the body color, or dark chocolate brown boots to match the trim. A simple cream-colored henley underneath will perfectly complement the internal shearling wool.
