A Ladies Sheepskin Gilet is the Right Choice for Women

When choosing a leather jacket or a leather gilet for a woman, it is necessary that you choose one that is made from the right skin because not all skins will suit the taste and requirement of women. There is no doubt that leather is superior to all other materials for making women’s gilets, but a wrongly chosen leather could hugely reduce the comfort and fashion level of a woman. Various animals’ skins are used to create gilets, and they come primarily from cowhide, sheepskin, goat hide, and deerskin, etc. Irrespective of the choice of animal, all leathers are tanned before they are used for making jackets and cowhide is determinedly stiffer than other skin and can wear over a long period.

Therefore, sheepskin or deerskin is preferred more than cowhide, but goatskin is considered even suppler than these two and stronger as well. Calfskin, on the other hand, is a softer alternative, and you don’t need to break it in as it would fit like a glove from the beginning.  Goatskin is water repellent and durable while sheepskin tends to be softer than goatskin and light in weight than cow and goat. Lambskin is tender and is likely to wear and tear quickly. A ladies sheepskin gilet is, therefore, much preferred because it is in between, i.e. not as stiff as cow hide and not as pliable as lamb skin.

The leather is tanned before it use and there are two tanning methods primarily used by leather manufacturers namely chrome tanning and vegetable tanning. The former is done using chemicals whereas the latter is done with more natural methods. A nappa leather jacket, for example, is chrome tanned hence producing a uniform texture and great weather proof capabilities. Chromium sulphate is the chemical used for tanning, and it is quick and produces an evenly colored skin for jackets. Good quality jackets are produced from leathers that were tanned using plant matters and wood barks. These are natural choices, and they also hide scratches and buffs on the skin.

Buy an Authentic B3 Bomber Jacket for Durability and Fashion Kudos

A B3 Bomber jacket is a good choice of winter wear because it has style, quality, and durability and fashion value. Out of the several flight jackets invented and used during and after the World War, the B3 became a hit with the younger generation as several of their Hollywood heroes embraced the jacket to give an authentic look to the roles they portrayed.

B3 bomber jacket are mostly made of sheepskin with the outer shell of the jacket being made up of a single piece leather, and the inner side is lined up with wool. Brass zippers welted seams, and collars with buckles are the salient features of the bomber jacket. These jackets have adjustable straps to fit the jacket into the waist and the front also features two pockets in order to keep the hands warm. The B3 jacket is a sturdy piece of winter wear and can withstand even the harshest winter weather. The outer shell of the jacket is made of leather to ensure that no wind can get in, and the woolen interior insulates the warm air from escaping.

Traditional bomber jackets were made with seal skin or leather and shearling wool was the material used for insulation. Even the harshest climates cannot diminish the warmth of the bomber jackets, and the woolen liner ensures that warmth is spread uniformly over the body. The durability factor hugely works in favour of the bomber jacket, and they can last for decades if they are polished and rubbed down with appropriate treatments by the owner.

An Aero leather jacket with its knitted cuffs also prevents the cold air from penetrating via the sleeves and adds more protection. These jackets have changed quite a lot nowadays as manufacturers have done away with big collars, wind flaps and even the zipper and the flaps on the front pockets. However the basic design remains the same even after all these years, but the type of material, design, accessories and styles have been given slight changes to suit the contemporary taste. A bomber jacket is more than worth the money you spend on it as it will last for years and years.
