Men's Distressed Anejo A-2 Bomber Jacket with Detachable Shearling Collar

A Hand-Burnished Cowhide Flight Coat Engineered for Rugged, All-Season Wear

Every panel of this jacket is cut from thick, drum-dyed cowhide that develops a richer, deeper patina the more you wear it — no two jackets ever look exactly alike. Paired with a soft taupe fleece collar and antique gunmetal hardware, it sits somewhere between a classic military flight coat and a modern streetwear staple.

Crafted From Rugged Anejo Cowhide

The shell is built from full-grain, vegetable-tanned cowhide finished with a hand-applied Anejo burnishing technique, giving each panel natural tonal variation — lighter caramel streaks fading into deep chocolate shadows. This isn't a sprayed or printed finish; it's worked into the hide by hand, so the color genuinely deepens with age, sun exposure, and daily creasing.

Fleece-Lined Collar for Cold-Weather Comfort

A soft, taupe genuine shearling collar wraps the neckline, trapping warmth without adding bulk. Unlike synthetic faux-fur alternatives, this fleece stays plush wear after wear and pairs naturally with the tonal brown leather rather than clashing against it.

Tailored Silhouette & Everyday Versatility

Cut with a close-to-body athletic fit through the chest and shoulders, the jacket tapers into a rib-knit waistband that locks out wind and holds its shape. It layers easily over a tee or thin sweater, making it just as suited to a weekend errand run as it is to a night out.

Pocket Design Built for Function

Two flap-front cargo pockets close with matte gunmetal snap buttons and open into hidden hand-warmer slots behind them — so you get storage and warmth in one detail. A separate interior chest pocket, edged in leather trim, keeps a phone or cards secure and out of sight.

Longevity Through Handcraft

Double-stitched, lock-stitched seams run along the yoke, cuffs, and front placket, reinforcing the areas that see the most stress from daily wear. Combined with a full-grain hide (rather than a split or bonded leather), this construction is built to be repaired and re-conditioned for decades rather than discarded after a season.

Maintaining Your Investment Piece

Because the leather is left in a more natural, minimally-coated state to allow that hand-burnished character, it should only be cleaned by a professional leather specialist. Regular conditioning every few months will keep the hide supple and prevent the surface from drying out or cracking at the fold lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is the shearling collar removable?

Yes, the collar snaps off at the back neck seam, so you can wear the jacket with a cleaner, collarless line in milder weather and reattach it once temperatures drop.

Will the color of this jacket change over time?

Yes — that's actually part of its design. Because the Añejo finish is hand-burnished rather than machine-sprayed, the leather will continue to darken and develop soft creasing at the elbows and cuffs, giving it a broken-in look that improves with age.

What's underneath the outer leather — is it insulated?

The body is lined with a smooth polyester interior for easy layering and a comfortable next-to-skin feel; it isn't heavily padded, so it's best worn as a mid-layer over a sweater or hoodie in colder months.

How do I clean marks or scuffs off the leather?

Avoid household cleaners or water. Light surface dust can be wiped with a dry, soft cloth, but any deeper marks or stains should be handled by a professional leather cleaning service to avoid damaging the burnished finish.

Does this jacket run small in the shoulders?

The shoulder seam sits close to a natural drop, so most customers find the fit true to size; if you typically wear a size up in fitted outerwear, we'd suggest doing the same here.
