What’s going on yall? Been a little bit, hasn’t it?

At this point (especially for a guy who lives in Texas at this time) my jacket closet is fairly full…peacoats, bombers, puffers / down jackets, fleeces, etc. But when my friends from The Jacket Maker reached out and asked me to review an incredible jacket from their collection, I couldn’t say no.

This is the first jacket I’ve tried from them; I was blown away. When I look at jackets, I’m looking at a few things:

  • Design
  • Comfort and Fit
  • Materials

The Francis B-3 Black & White Leather Bomber Jacket is 3 for 3. It’s made with a blend of quality materials. It’s an incredible fashion statement. And it’s comfortable and well-tailored.

  1. Design and Aesthetics:

The bomber jacket silhouette is timeless, and this black & white leather sherpa bomber embraces it with a modern twist. The sherpa fur adds an air of sophistication, making it easy to pair with a range of outfits. The attention to detail is evident in the leather finish, along with the zipper, rolled back cuffs & buckled collar. There are even waist adjustment straps.

The design strikes a balance between edgy and elegant, making it good for a casual day or a stylish night out. The faux fur  elevates the overall look and adds a touch of playfulness to the otherwise classic design. It’s a leather jacket with fur – what’s not to like?

  1. Comfort and Fit:

Style and looks aside, this jacket doesn’t compromise on comfort and functionality. The sheepskin lining is great insulation, making sure the wearer stays warm even in chilly weather. The plush faux fur collar adds extra comfort as well. I love that sherpa collar look and I’m sure you do too.

The rolled back cuffs contribute to comfort by preventing cold wrists and ensuring a snug fit. The jacket isn’t just a fashion statement, but also a practical choice for staying warm on a cold day. This jacket turns heads, man. There’s no denying it.

 

  1. Materials

All that being said….

If I had to pick one defining feature of the the Francis B-3 Black & White Leather Bomber Jacket

It’s not the design and look.

It’s not the comfort and fit.

Its the high quality materials the jacket is built with.The combination of genuine leather and sheepskin makes fur a durable, luxurious jacket.  The leather exterior provides a sleek and stylish appearance, while the sheepskin lining offers exceptional warmth, making it an ideal choice for colder seasons.

The addition of faux fur adds a touch of flair and serves as a cruelty-free alternative. The intricate stitching and detailing, carefully integrated fur into the collar and cuffs, gives the jacket an upscale and modern aesthetic, making it a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down for various occasions.

 

Conclusion:

There’s a lot to like about this jacket. The aesthetic is understated, timeless and elegant. It feels natural and elevates your look. It blends style, comfort, and functionality. The high quality materials justifies the price tag for those looking for a statement piece in their winter wardrobe. With its dedicated craftsmanship and quality materials, it’s worth an addition to your closet. Highly recommended.
