1980s | B-3 Style Shearling Jacket | Brown - XXL

Description:

Item: Original 1980s B-3 style leather flight jacket in dark brown with full cream shearling lining. Classic aviator-inspired design with a broad shearling collar, zip front, angled handwarmer pockets and side buckle adjusters at the hem. Strong boxy cut with a short, broad-shouldered silhouette that gives it that proper vintage flight jacket feel.

Era: 1980s

Condition: Good vintage condition. Leather outer presents well with a rich dark tone, natural grain and honest creasing from age and wear. Shearling lining remains warm and substantial, with the expected signs of age that suit the jacket well. Honest use adds character and is exactly why pieces like this have so much presence.

Provenance Note: Good B-3 style jackets always carry weight because they have such a strong silhouette and such immediate visual impact. This one has all the right ingredients, dark aged leather, thick pale shearling and that unmistakable aviator shape that never really loses its appeal. A very wearable cold-weather piece with real character and far more presence than a modern reproduction-feeling jacket.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, bulk, or layering.
