Story & heritage

Alpha’s official B-3 page calls the Air Force bomber a classic coat that never goes out of style. Unlike the nylon flight jackets, this icon is about leather, shearling and extreme cold-weather presence.

It sits in the Alpha lineup as the heavy, tactile bomber: less about reversibility and more about a visibly warm military-aircraft silhouette.

Materials & craft

Official specs list a 100% sheepskin leather shell and 100% shearling lining. Features include genuine distressed leather, sherpa wool fleece lining, adjustable buckle straps at collar and hem, lower welt pockets and an antiqued zipper.

How to choose & style

The B-3 already carries the outfit. Wear it over plain denim, boots and a simple knit; the shearling collar and distressed leather provide all the texture needed.
