Best Shearling jackets are similar to leather jackets, however, they may feel a bit snug because of the thick insulation. If you want to accommodate more layers make sure you size up for some extra room. The classic B2 and B3 bomber jackets fall under this category. Moreover, this model does not have an elastic cuff or hem.
Shoulder:
The jacket’s seam should sit over your shoulder break similar to other leather models.
Sleeves:
As the cuffs are not elastic the sleeves won’t be as long. Anywhere from your wrist to ½ an inch over your thumb joint is appropriate.
Waist:
The waist should extend slightly below your belt just enough to cover it up and keep the cold wind out.
Collar:
The collar should be snug enough to gently hug your neck while it’s bucked up, this will keep you warm and insulated.
