Mens A2 Black Bomber Leather Jacket

Mens A2 Black Bomber Leather Jacket

The Mens A2 Black Bomber Leather Jacket is a handmade genuine sheepskin jacket built in the classic A2 military flight bomber style. It features 100% genuine sheepskin leather on the exterior, a faux fur shearling lining for warmth, a faux shearling collar, and an Original YKK zipper closure. The A2 bomber is one of the most recognized jacket silhouettes in men's outerwear — its roots go back to the 1930s US Army Air Corps, where it was issued to pilots for practical warmth and ease of movement. This version brings the silhouette into everyday wear with black sheepskin leather and shearling-style comfort, made to order at Leather Outlet in sizes XS through 5XL plus Custom.

• Fit: Classic bomber fit — defined through the chest with ribbed hem and cuffs
• Closure: Original YKK zipper
• Color: Black
• Care: Dry clean only; store on a broad hanger away from heat and moisture

Genuine Sheepskin: The Right Material for a Flight Bomber

Sheepskin is softer and more supple than cowhide, which is why flight jackets were originally made from it — pilots needed outerwear that stayed flexible in cold cockpit conditions rather than stiffening with temperature drops. For everyday wear, genuine sheepskin gives the A2 jacket a comfortable fit that breaks in quickly and sits naturally on the body. The black colorway takes the classic A2 silhouette into more broadly versatile territory — the same design reads as military heritage in brown and as clean everyday outerwear in black.

Faux Fur Shearling Lining and Collar

The faux fur shearling lining adds real warmth without the weight of full genuine shearling hide. Combined with the sheepskin exterior, the jacket performs well in cold but not extreme conditions — it's built for autumn, early winter, and cooler spring wear. The faux shearling collar is a defining visual detail of the A2 and B3 bomber heritage — it can be worn upright against wind or laid flat in milder conditions, and it adds visible warmth around the neck.

Handmade Construction with YKK Zipper

This jacket is handmade — the panels are cut, aligned, and stitched by hand rather than on an automated line. Handmade construction results in tighter, more consistent seam quality and better control over the overall shape. The Original YKK zipper runs cleanly from hem to collar and holds up to regular use. YKK is the global standard for outerwear zippers, and it will function reliably over years of daily wearing.

Sizing and Made to Order

Available in XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL, and Custom. The shearling lining adds interior volume — if you're between sizes, consider going one size up for a comfortable layered fit. Custom sizing is available at no extra charge: provide your chest, waist, shoulder span, and sleeve length for a made-to-order jacket.
