Celebrity Inspired Shearling Jackets and How to Style Them

Some jackets become famous because of the person wearing them. A rugged vest on a Western hero, a brown bomber on a game character, a black biker jacket on a screen legend. These looks stay popular because they are simple, bold and easy to wear. Here is a guide to celebrity shearling jackets and how to make each one work for you.

Why these looks never go out of style

Celebrity jackets work because the shapes are classic. An aviator bomber, a biker cut and a shearling vest all come from real working clothes, which is why they still look right decades later. Real shearling adds warmth and texture on top, so the jacket looks great and also keeps you comfortable in cold weather.

Aviator bombers: the Arnold Schwarzenegger look

The aviator bomber is the easiest celebrity look to wear every day. Our Arnold Schwarzenegger Aviator RAF B3 jacket has the thick wool collar and cropped fit of the classic style. If you prefer a different cut and a black finish, look at the Aviator RAF B6 in black. Not sure how these two differ? Our B3 bomber jacket guide explains it.

How to style it: Pair with dark jeans, a plain white or grey tee and brown boots. In colder weather, add a chunky knit underneath and keep the rest simple.

The Western vest: Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood played the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s Western trilogy, and his rugged style still inspires menswear today. The Clint Eastwood Man with No Name shearling vest captures that outdoor, no fuss feel.

How to style it: Wear it over a flannel or denim shirt with straight jeans and boots. A vest keeps your arms free and your core warm, so it is perfect for layering in autumn.

Game and screen heroes: Leon Kennedy and Aquaman

Fans of Resident Evil will recognise the Leon Kennedy Resident Evil 4 jacket, a brown pilot style bomber with a warm shearling collar. The Aquaman Arthur Curry shearling jacket brings a Justice League look into a jacket you can actually wear to work or out at night.

How to style them: Keep the base dark. A black tee, black jeans and boots let the jacket be the star. These jackets are also popular for cosplay and conventions, so ask us if you need help with sizing.

The biker icon: Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando made the black leather biker jacket famous in the 1950s. Our distressed leather Marlon Brando biker jacket has that worn in, rebellious look. If you want the same attitude with extra warmth, try the Brando aviator shearling jacket.

How to style it: A white tee, slim jeans and leather boots is the classic formula. It works at any age.

Simple styling rules for any celebrity jacket

• Let the jacket be the loudest piece. Keep the rest of the outfit plain.
• Match your boots and belt to the tone of the shearling, brown with brown and black with black.
• Choose the fit first. A great jacket in the wrong size never looks right, so check our shearling jacket size guide before you order.
• Look after it. A well kept shearling jacket lasts for years, and our care guide shows how.
