Men’s Black Shearling-Collar Crested Biker Jacket

This one costs more than the rest of the crested lineup, and it should be clear why instead of just calling it "premium" and moving on.

Shearling isn't cheap to source correctly. A genuine collar means tanned sheepskin, wool intact, matched for density and color consistency against the cowhide body. That's a different supply chain than the leather alone, and it adds real cost before the jacket is even cut.

Combine that with the same back-panel crest construction used across the rest of the collection, and you get a jacket that's doing more than most biker jackets attempt at any price. It's the top of the crested leather jacket collection for exactly that reason.

A lot of jackets marketed as "shearling collar" are actually faux fur trim stitched to a leather collar. It looks similar in a product photo. It doesn't feel or wear the same.

Genuine shearling is tanned sheepskin. The wool stays attached to the hide during tanning, so what you're wearing is a single piece of material, not fur glued or stitched onto leather. It's warmer, it holds its shape longer, and it doesn't shed or flatten the way synthetic trim does after a season of wear.

This jacket uses the real thing. That's worth stating directly, since the market is full of collars that aren't.

This jacket is built after you order it. Because shearling collars require matched hide sourcing on top of the standard cowhide body, production takes longer than our other crested styles. Confirm current lead time before ordering, since shearling availability varies by season.

Sourcing consistent shearling isn't a fixed process the way cutting cowhide is. Hides get matched for wool density and color before the collar goes on, and that step adds time the rest of the collection doesn't need.

This is the jacket for someone who wants heritage-grade materials without a heritage-grade price tag. Cold-climate riders get real warmth from the shearling, not a fashion approximation of it. Buyers who already own a standard biker jacket and want the piece that sits above it in the closet, this is that piece.

For more cuts in the same body construction, the broader biker jacket lineup is worth a look.

The cowhide body ages the way full-grain always does: stiff at first, softening and creasing at the natural fold points over months of wear. The shearling collar is a different story.

Wool compresses slightly with wear and regains loft when it's not being worn, so it won't flatten permanently the way faux fur does. Keep it brushed occasionally and it'll hold its texture for years.

• Runs true to standard men's outerwear sizing, XS to 4XL
• The shearling collar adds bulk at the neck and shoulder line, if you're between sizes, consider sizing up for comfortable collar movement
• Built for layering, room for a sweater underneath given the added warmth from the collar
• Check the size chart against your chest and shoulder measurements before ordering. If shearling is the material you're after but this silhouette isn't, browse our shearling leather jackets for other builds.

We're not claiming Schott's century of manufacturing history. That's earned, not bought. What we're offering is genuine shearling construction and crest detailing at a fraction of their price point, for the buyer who wants the material quality without the heritage-brand markup.

Leather Body

• Wipe down with a damp cloth after wet-weather exposure
• Condition every 4 to 6 months
• Store on a broad-shouldered hanger

Shearling Collar

• Brush gently with a suede brush to keep the wool lofted
• Keep dry. Wet wool takes longer to recover its texture than wet leather
• Never machine wash or dry clean the collar section, spot-clean only
• Store with the collar unfolded, not compressed, to prevent permanent flattening
