Historical Insight:
The pilot shearling jacket has its roots in aviation history, originally worn by pilots in World War II to protect them from the frigid temperatures at high altitudes. The natural warmth of shearling made it an ideal choice for these rugged conditions. Its association with aviators gave the jacket a rugged, adventurous image, which has since evolved into a style icon in civilian wardrobes. The shearling’s unique properties have been used for centuries as a form of natural insulation, with its ability to retain heat while remaining breathable.
