Shearling

Why

Because when it comes to manly outerwear, a shearling coat has got to be up there with the best of them.

Origins

A descendant of the bombers that were standard for fighter pilots before planes had enclosed cockpits, the jackets also found work keeping cowboys warm.

How to Wear It

Let this rugged jacket contrast a simple sweater or add some toughness to your standard shirt and tie.

What to Look for

Luxe material like sheepskin with the wool still on it doesn't come cheap. But if you don't have the scratch for a full shearling jacket, there are some decent faux options.
