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 vegetable tanned Lambskin from Tuscany (Italy). 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 “Castagno” Treatment is entirely made by hand by Italian Artisans. Starting from selected Raw Hides, the Leather has been Dyed, Soaked, Brushed and Distressed to give it a real antique worn look. The Color Shades go from a bright Terra Bruciata (color underneath) to a dark Chocolate and Mocha (color on the surface). The Shearling Sheepskin with “Castagno” Treatment will change color with the wear, developing a unique Patina on the jacket, as a personal journey. The leather will begin to reveal the 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 terra bruciata and brown tones. The process of distressing leather doesn’t just make it look worn, but it also makes it more Durable and Strong, lasting over time. 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 attention to detail makes it a rare and authentic B-3 Jacket Hand Made in Italy. Designed for Bikers, Rockers and Gentlemen.
