Why choose the Bombardier RAF Fighter?

Choosing this model means investing in a piece of aviation history. Unlike synthetic imitations, its natural sheepskin regulates temperature and gains flexibility and patina over the years. Its fitted cut and genuine leather finishes make it a durable piece, capable of lasting through decades without losing its superb appearance.

Laura’s opinion:

"The detail that makes the difference on this model is the thickness of its wool which guarantees unrivaled thermal comfort, even in negative temperatures. Ideal for a strong look, I recommend wearing it with raw jeans and leather ankle boots to emphasize its raw and historic look. It's the jacket of a lifetime."

FAQ:

Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather? Yes, shearling is one of the best natural insulators in the world. This model was originally designed for bomber pilots flying at high altitudes.

How to care for this sheepskin bomber? It should never be machine washed. In case of rain, let it dry away from any heat source. Gentle brushing of the wool and a specific waterproofing agent for turned leather are recommended.

What is the difference between this model and a "B3"? The RAF Fighter takes inspiration from the British design with its double collar straps and slightly different cut, while the B3 is the historical model of the American army.

Will leather relax? Like any natural skin, leather will soften and adapt to your body after a few wears, providing increased comfort.
