Vintage Chevignon Issue (57) B-3 Bomber Jacket Sheepskin Shearling XL

Details

This vintage B-3 sheepskin bomber is a resolutely emblematic Chevignon piece made in France. Inspired by the famous B-3 jacket American Air Force pilots used during the Second World War, this jacket was designed to protect them from extreme cold at altitude in their unheated aircraft cockpits. It has now become a men’s classic and a symbol of comfort. This iconic jacket will keep you warm during the coldest winters and ensure you are timelessly stylish all year round. It's made of thick, heavy-duty, and luxuriously soft sheepskin leather and is in excellent condition, ready to wear and in impeccable shape.
