How to measure a jacket you already own
- Chest, flat: zip the jacket, lay it flat, and measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other.
- Shoulders: measure across the back, from the top of one shoulder seam to the top of the other.
- Sleeve Length: measure from the shoulder seam, along the outside of the sleeve, to the end of the cuff.
- Waist, flat: keep the jacket zipped and flat, and measure straight across at the narrowest point below the chest.
- Back Length: measure down the back, from the base of the collar to the hem.
If nothing here fits, made to measure is free. The eight measurements sit on the product page, just above the Add to cart button. A jacket cut to your own measurements can't be returned for fit, so check your figures before you order.

Description
The US Navy gave the M-445A to its aircrews during World War II, and this men's brown shearling flight jacket keeps to that pattern. The shell is dark brown sheepskin with the wool left on the inside, and a big cream shearling collar spreads across the shoulders. Turned up, it covers the back of your neck.
Two patch pockets with pointed, buttoned flaps sit low on the front. At the bottom of the zip, a tab with two buttons closes the waistband, and a small buckle at each side of the hem takes the waist in. The cuffs are finished in shearling. Buttons do most of the work here, where other men's shearling jackets use straps and buckles.
The sheepskin
In a leather and shearling jacket built this way, the shell and the lining are one skin: the leather side out, the wool side in, which is warmer than a lining sewn in on its own. The dark brown surface has a natural grain and a soft sheen, and it creases at the elbows and pocket flaps as you wear it.
Fit and sizing
There's room through the body for a shirt and a sweater. Pick a men's or women's cut, then go with your normal size. Shearling fills more of that room than the thin lining of a plain leather jacket for men, so anyone between two sizes should take the larger one. Made to Measure costs nothing extra if you'd rather send your own figures. The size guide has chest and sleeve numbers.
Care
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and let it dry at room temperature, never on a radiator. If the collar or cuffs mat, run a soft brush through them. Air it out instead of washing it.
