A good women's shearling jacket is one of the few winter pieces that is both properly warm and easy to wear every day. Sheepskin with the wool left on traps heat, breathes better than synthetic padding and gets softer the more you wear it. The hard part is choosing the right cut: a short bomber, a longer coat or a style with a hood.
Below are our picks from the current range, grouped by the way most women actually shop for shearling. Each one includes who it suits, its starting price and a direct link, followed by a practical guide to leather, fit, lining and climate so you can order with confidence.
The Quick Answer
- Best hooded pick: the Ladies B3 Sheepskin Bomber Jacket with Detachable Hood, for wind and snow protection you can take off when you do not need it.
- Best longer option: the Women Shearling Fur Coat, if you want more coverage than a waist-length bomber.
- Best short classic: the Women's B3 RAF Aviator Bomber, a traditional flight-jacket shape in sheepskin shearling.
- Best for standing out: the Women's Black B3 Leather Jacket with White Shearling, for strong black-and-white contrast.
Best Hooded Shearling Jackets
Ladies B3 Sheepskin Bomber Jacket with Detachable Hood
A B3 sheepskin bomber with a hood you can remove, which makes it two jackets in one. It suits women who walk or commute in cold, windy weather but do not want a hood on all the time. From $249. View the hooded B3 sheepskin bomber.
Women's Brown B3 Shearling Bomber Jacket With Raccoon Fur Hood
A brown B3 shearling bomber finished with a fur hood. It is the pick for real winter conditions, when you want extra protection around the face as well as a warm body. From $299.99. View the brown B3 with fur hood.
Best Longer Shearling Styles
Women Shearling Fur Coat
If a bomber feels too short for your winters, this coat is the one to look at. A coat cut covers more of the body, which helps when you are standing at bus stops or walking any distance in the cold. From $329.99. View the women's shearling coat.
Women's Genuine Sheepskin Brown Aviator Shearling Jacket Coat
A genuine sheepskin aviator styled as a jacket coat, so it sits between a short bomber and a full coat. It suits women who like the aviator look but want a little more length and a softer, everyday shape. From $249.99. View the sheepskin aviator jacket coat.
Best Short Shearling Jackets
Women's B3 RAF Aviator Bomber Sheepskin Shearling Leather Jacket
A classic RAF-style aviator bomber in sheepskin shearling. Choose it if you want the traditional flight-jacket shape: waist length, a big collar and plenty of warmth without a long hem. From $289.99. View the women's B3 RAF bomber.
Women's Tan Brown Shearling Bomber Leather Jacket
A lighter tan brown bomber that works well with blue jeans, cream knits and brown boots. It is a good first shearling jacket if you want something warm that still feels relaxed and easy to style. From $296.53. View the tan brown shearling bomber.
Women's Black B3 Leather Jacket with White Shearling
Black leather with white shearling gives this B3 a striking contrast. It suits women with a darker, city-leaning wardrobe who want their winter jacket to be the statement piece. From $319. View the black B3 with white shearling.
Women's Gray Sheepskin B3 Shearling Leather Jacket
A gray sheepskin B3 for women who want something different from the usual brown or black. Gray sits easily with black, white, navy and denim, so it is more versatile than it first looks. From $339.99. View the gray sheepskin B3.

How to Choose a Women's Shearling Jacket
1. Leather and shearling
True shearling is sheepskin or lambskin tanned with the wool still attached, so the suede side faces out and the fleece faces in. It is warmer and more breathable than a leather jacket with a separate faux-fur lining. Some styles use a different leather shell with shearling only at the collar and cuffs; these are lighter and better for milder cold. Read the product description carefully so you know which construction you are buying. Our sheepskin vs shearling guide explains the difference in detail.
2. Length
Short bombers end at the waist. They are easier to move in, easier to drive in and look great with jeans. Longer coats cover the hips and thighs, which matters most if you spend a lot of time outside in freezing weather. If you are between the two, a jacket coat style is a good middle ground.
3. Hood or no hood
A hood is worth it if you face wind, snow or sleet and do not like wearing hats. A detachable hood gives you the option without committing to it. If you mainly drive or travel by train, a big shearling collar usually gives enough neck warmth on its own.
4. Fit
Shearling is thicker than plain leather, so the jacket will feel snug at first and the fleece will settle with wear. Leave room for a sweater underneath, check that you can cross your arms comfortably and make sure the sleeves reach your wrist bone with your arms bent. Our leather jacket fit guide walks through each measurement.
5. Climate
For long, hard winters, go for full sheepskin shearling with a hood or a longer cut. For mild winters or autumn, a short bomber or a leather jacket with shearling trim will be warm enough without overheating indoors. You can also browse our women's shearling vests for layering in milder weather.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are shearling jackets warm enough for very cold winters?
Full sheepskin shearling is one of the warmest natural materials for outerwear. For very cold climates, pair it with a hood or a longer cut and layer a sweater underneath.
Should I size up in a shearling jacket?
Not usually. Order your normal size based on your chest measurement, and check that there is room for a layer underneath. The fleece compresses slightly with wear.
Can shearling get wet?
Light snow or a short shower is fine if you let the jacket dry naturally away from heat. Avoid soaking it, and brush the suede once dry. See our guide on wearing leather in rain and snow.
Which color is the most versatile?
Brown and tan pair with the widest range of casual clothes. Black suits darker wardrobes, and gray works well with both.
Can I get a shearling jacket made to my measurements?
Yes. We offer custom and made-to-measure orders with a free quote and mockup and one free alteration. Visit our custom leather jackets page to start.
