Collection: Men's Sheepskin Coat

Men's Sheepskin Coats: Choose by Length and Warmth

A men's sheepskin coat is the heaviest layer most wardrobes own, so the first decision is not color but length. This collection runs from waist-length B-3 bombers to hip-length car coats and long hooded winter coats. Every coat is made to order, most in sizes XS to 5XL, and any of them can be made to your own measurements.

Three Lengths, Three Kinds of Winter

Length Styles in this collection Best for
Waist length B-3 bombers, RAF and pilot jackets, cross-zip aviators Driving, city commutes, layering over a sweater
Hip length Car coats, double-breasted coats, hooded bomber coats Everyday cold weather with more cover over jeans or trousers
Long Long coats with fur collars, hooded winter coats, a slim aviator trench, a B-3 overcoat, a B-7 parka The coldest days, long walks and waiting outdoors

Waist-Length B-3 and RAF Jackets

The B-3 was developed in the 1930s for American bomber crews flying in unheated aircraft, and its shape has barely changed: a short leather body, a wide shearling collar that closes with straps, and a heavy front zip. Here you'll find B-3s in brown, dark brown, black, grey and army green, including hooded versions and waxed finishes. RAF-style jackets follow the British wartime flying jacket, often with panelled or two-tone leather. For more short shearling styles, browse our men's shearling jackets.

Hip-Length Car Coats and Double-Breasted Coats

A car coat stops around the hip, so it covers more than a bomber but stays easy to sit and drive in. The black sheepskin car coat and the brown double-breasted coat are the cleanest options here, and they sit well over a shirt and knitwear for work. Hooded bomber coats give the same length with a more casual feel.

Long Hooded Sheepskin Coats

Long sheepskin coats are for real winter. Choose between fur-collared long coats in black or brown, hooded long winter coats, a slim-fit aviator trench and longer flight-inspired designs like the B-7 parka. If long coats are what you're after, our men's shearling long coats collection has more of them.

Sheepskin Leather and Shearling Trims

Sheepskin is the hide of the sheep, and shearling is sheepskin with the wool left on. In this collection, sheepskin refers to the leather: many coats use genuine sheepskin leather for the outer, and every coat is real leather unless the product title says otherwise. The shearling-look collars, linings and trims are faux by default, and real shearling is available on request, so mention it when you order. Each product page names the leather used for that coat. For a longer explanation of the two terms, read sheepskin vs. shearling.

Getting the Fit Right

Sheepskin coats are thick, so plan for what you'll wear underneath. If you usually layer a heavy sweater, compare the coat's chest measurement with a winter coat you already own rather than a lightweight jacket. Long coats should close comfortably over your thickest layer without pulling at the buttons. If you sit between sizes or have longer arms, choose the custom option and send your measurements.

Wearing a Sheepskin Coat

  • B-3 bomber: dark jeans, a crew-neck sweater and lace-up boots. Leave the collar open unless it's windy.
  • Car coat: chinos or wool trousers, an oxford shirt and a knit, with leather boots or loafers.
  • Long hooded coat: keep the rest dark and simple, so the length and collar do the work.

Care

Hang the coat on a broad hanger so the shoulders keep their shape. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators and direct heat. Brush the collar and trims gently to keep them full, and use a specialist leather or sheepskin cleaner for stains.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a sheepskin coat and a shearling coat?

The terms overlap. Sheepskin is the hide, and shearling is sheepskin with the wool still attached. A "shearling coat" usually means the wool side faces in as the lining and shows at the collar and cuffs.

Are these coats real sheepskin?

The outer is real leather, and many coats use genuine sheepskin leather; each product page names the leather. Shearling-look collars, linings and trims are faux by default, and real shearling is available on request.

Which length should I choose?

Choose a waist-length B-3 if you drive a lot or want to layer, a hip-length car coat for daily wear, and a long coat if you spend time outdoors in real cold.

What sizes are available?

Most coats come in XS to 5XL, and every coat can be made to your own measurements with the custom option.

How long does delivery take?

Every coat is made to order. Standard sizes typically ship within 10 business days, and shipping is free by express courier. Custom-measured orders take longer.
