Women's Black Bomber B3 RAF Aviator Real Leather Jacket

Women's Black Bomber B3 RAF Aviator Real Leather Jacket

Women's Black Bomber B3 RAF Aviator Real Leather Jacket brings together the classic B3 flight jacket construction with a black leather exterior and a shearling-lined interior built for serious warmth. The B3 aviator jacket has a long history as one of the most functional and recognizable leather jackets ever made — originally designed for pilots flying in open-air cockpits at altitude, where insulation and wind resistance were critical. This women's version keeps the core features while adjusting the proportions for a women's fit. Find more styles in our Women's B3 Leather Jackets collection.

B3 Jacket: Function Behind the Style

The B3 bomber jacket was originally issued to US Army Air Forces pilots in World War II. At altitude, temperatures drop sharply, and the B3's thick shearling lining was designed to provide enough warmth to keep a pilot functional in those conditions. The large collar that folds up to cover the neck, the wide lapels, and the heavy leather exterior were all practical choices. In modern fashion, the B3 has become a statement piece that still delivers on its original promise of warmth. For more bomber jacket options, see our Women's Bomber Jackets collection.

Black Leather in a B3 Silhouette

While brown is the traditional B3 color, black leather gives this jacket a different character — it reads as a fashion piece as much as a heritage design. The contrast between the black exterior and the cream shearling lining is visually striking and makes the jacket work as well in city environments as in outdoor settings. The black finish is also practical: it doesn't show light scuffs as readily as brown leather. For more women's leather options, browse our Women's Leather Jackets collection.

Women's Proportions

This jacket is cut for women rather than being a men's cut with minor adjustments. The shoulders are proportioned correctly, the waist has a slight taper, and the sleeves are the right length for women's arm proportions. The shearling collar and lapels are sized to suit the smaller overall frame. For coordinating leather pieces, explore our Leather Pants collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this jacket made from real leather?

Yes. The exterior of this jacket is made from 100% real leather. The shearling lining is a natural sheepskin material, not synthetic fleece.

What is the difference between a B3 and a regular bomber jacket?

A regular bomber jacket typically has a minimal lining and is designed primarily as outerwear. A B3 jacket has a thick shearling lining throughout, including the collar and lapels, making it significantly warmer and heavier. The B3 was designed for cold-weather flight conditions.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

Yes. The shearling lining on B3 jackets provides substantial insulation, making them one of the warmest leather jacket options. This jacket is well-suited for winter temperatures.

How do I care for a leather and shearling jacket?

Wipe the leather exterior with a damp cloth for surface cleaning. Apply leather conditioner periodically to keep the exterior supple. For the shearling lining, use a soft brush to remove dirt and restore the texture. Avoid submerging the jacket in water.
