BRANDSLOCK Mens Genuine Shearling Sheepskin Leather Bomber Pilot Aviator B3 WWII Flying Cockpit Jacket Thick Wool Inside/Inner

I'm not a negative or angry guy by nature, but I have to share my experience. Unfortunately, the sheepskin felt poorly worked - ugly visible seems at the wrists, etc. (see pictures). Then it just started coming apart at the seams after only 3 weeks of wear. Two separate holes appeared in the jacket, both in areas of structural stress - just above the right pocket, and underneath the right armpit. I couldn't believe that a jacket billed as hardwearing would split and tear in this way. Even the cheapest jackets I've ever owned didn't fall apart in this way... and this one cost £250!!After I contacted customer service, they asked to see photos, which I provided. They then accused me straight away of cutting the jacket (why would I do that?? How could they tell from a single photo?). The exact reply I receieved (in broken English) was:"this sharp cut on the jacket is not acceptable as return at all."They refused outright to refund me. See for yourself: there's no 'sharp cut' - the stitching has clearly come apart, and the other hole (above the pocket) has just torn because it couldn't stand the normal stress of someone putting their hand in the pocket! After I insisted on a refund, they basically just stopped answering my emails, even though I repeatedly emailed them asking for an update.As of today, they haven't even bothered to write to me personally. I simply got the message:"brandslock has closed your return request. The reason for the closure of your request is: Buyer has not taken reasonable care"If you're like me, you're probably hoping you can get a premium item for a few quid less. Take my advice, save up for a properly made and finished sheepskin jacket (from a reputable UK company) that will last you a lifetime. This isn't it.I would also beware the other positive reviews. They sound like they are from people who haven't had their jackets for very long.

This is a kind of jacket that I've been looking for for a long time. After trying out some all too big jackets from another seller, I'm now finally the happy owner of this cool (as in stylish) jacket. It took an awful lot of time getting to me, but the courier services are to blame, I suppose. But when it finally arrived - that was a moment relief. The jacket looks and fits as expected - and it's a warm, comfortable feeling wearing it. I mailed the seller my measurements prior to ordering the product, ensuring I got the right, slim fit size from start. Overall, the seller - Brandslock - has been helpful during this purchase.

The jacket itself is great. Extremely comfortable and warm.I have subtracted 1 star from the review however as I used the sizing guide provided by Brandslock my measurements were almost exactly the same as the smallest in the X-Small range; however when the jacket arrived it was approximately 2" too small around the waist.Much to my annoyance the return instructions said that I not only had to pay for the return delivery but include an additional £7.50 for the shipping of the new item - this hardly seemed fair considering the problem was caused by their sizing guide.Fortunately, I contacted customer support who were happy to waive the £7.50 and refund the cost of shipping once I provided a receipt.I upgraded to the small size from the X-Small and that fit fine.

I ordered the SMALL size using the sizing chart provided, when it arrived and I tried it on it drowned me! The only other option, apart from a refund, was the XS size.After a few weeks the new sized jacket arrived. I was really pleased with the new fit, although there is still a bit of give. Feels gorgeous and sumptuous when wearing it.I do think the collar is extremely oversized, I may get it tailored.Overall I am extremely pleased with this quality jacket, especially at the very reasonable price tag of £250, however it cost me £13.14 to send the first jacket back and would have expected that to be refunded, but so far have not heard anything!I do think the seller should revisit the sizing chart for this particular product and not just cut and paste a generic one from the ethernet!!!

This is a poorly made copy of an aviator jacket. The sleeves are very narrow (I am a woman and they are too tight for me) so unless you have pipe cleaner arms is a terrible fit. Shoulders similarly badly shaped and just look stupid with the skinny arms. Seams very badly sewn and stitching came apart after only a couple of months of light wear. Avoid! These are a complete rip-off and it's long overdue Amazon dealt with sellers of misrepresented items more severely instead of allowing customers to be conned!!

Given the high price of similar jackets on Amazon and elsewhere, this jacket represents excellent value. Having only just received it, is too early to say how effective it will be in an open top sports car in winter but I have high hopes. The length of this "size small" is right for this 5'6" individual; although the sleeves are a little long, this is not a problem when they are turned up at the cuff. The leather is supple and feels good quality, the fleece lining is good and thick and the stitching appears to be good. The seam sealing strips and the buckle straps are faux leather but the jacket did cost just £219 so I am not complaining about that. The zip is a little stiff and resistant but will presumably wear in with use. All told, it looks good for the price.

Something similar was worn by aircrew piloting heavy bombers during WW2. The reason those airplanes were heavy was probably because of these jackets. This is the heaviest jacket I've ever worn - essentially its all that remains of a fat sheep. Well made and comfortable fit. My only criticism is the absence of internal pockets.

These jackets seem to be cut quite big, so even though I initially ordered the right size according to the chart, it was too big. What I ended up with after a couple of attempts was getting S instead of XL! The seller was helpful, though, and it was worth making the effort to get it right, because the jacket is absolutely gorgeous, and it looks great on.
