FAQs

Is this jacket truly 100% sheepskin?

The jacket features an outer made of 100% leather and a lining made of 100% wool (shearling sheepskin).

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. It is recommended to measure your chest and waist and compare with the jacket's measurements. Given it's a vintage fit, consider wearing layers when measuring.

Can I wear this jacket in light rain?

While the leather exterior offers some water resistance, it is not fully waterproof. Light, brief exposure to rain may be tolerated if dried immediately, but prolonged exposure is not recommended. Avoid heavy rain.

What is the difference between shearling and regular wool?

Shearling is sheepskin with the wool still attached. It provides excellent insulation and a soft, plush feel, making it ideal for cold-weather garments like this pilot jacket.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 6-12 months, or more frequently if you notice it becoming dry or stiff, or if the jacket is exposed to harsh elements frequently.

Can the collar be worn up?

Yes, the pilot-style collar can be turned down or turned up for added warmth and a different look.

Does it come in other colors besides brown?

The product information states it is available in 2 colors, however, only the brown variant is detailed here.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality sheepskin or leather conditioner according to product instructions. Avoid excessive heat exposure.

Minor scuffs on leather surface

Gently buff with a soft, clean cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit or professional cleaning may be necessary.

Wool lining feels matted

Gently brush the wool lining with a soft-bristled brush designed for natural fibers.

Jacket smells musty

Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Air it out in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Consider using a natural deodorizer like baking soda in a sachet placed near the jacket (not directly on it).

Care:

Proper care is essential for maintaining the longevity and appearance of your sheepskin jacket:

  1. Cleaning: Do not machine wash or dry clean using standard methods. For minor dirt, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, consult a professional leather cleaner specializing in sheepskin. A slightly damp cloth can be used for light spot cleaning on the leather exterior, but avoid soaking the material.
  2. Drying: If the jacket gets wet, air dry it naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically condition the leather exterior with a specialized leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product's instructions.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid plastic bags; use a breathable garment bag. Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity.
