The genuine leather exterior distresses naturally to a rich suede finish with wear, creating a battle-worn patina over time. Buckle throat latch. Heavy-duty front zipper and zippered cuffs. Side-entry zippered pockets. Antique brass Cockpit USA buckles. Made in the USA.

Between the B-6 and B-3 in weight and warmth — the shearling for people who can't choose.

Built to move.

The bi-swing action back gives it more reach than any standard B-3.

Suede, eventually.

The action back.

Shearling usually trades mobility for warmth. The B-9's bi-swing back refuses the trade.

Sheepskin · The Mobility Build

All the shearling.
None of the stiffness.

The B-9 Scout answers the oldest complaint about sheepskin bombers: they keep you warm by keeping you still. Built on B-3 inspiration with a bi-swing action back, the Scout moves with the shoulders instead of against them — and its plush, lighter-weight shearling sits deliberately between the B-6 and the B-3 in warmth, per Cockpit's positioning. The leather exterior starts smooth and distresses to a rich suede finish with wear. Buckle throat latch, heavy-duty front zipper, zippered cuffs, side-entry zip pockets, and antique brass Cockpit buckles throughout. Made in the USA.

The Material

The honest middle.

Plush shearling, sheared lighter than a B-3's — the warmth ladder's middle rung, chosen on purpose rather than by compromise.

The exterior's future is suede: wear distresses the leather face into a soft, rich nap with its own patina.

What Customers Say

Questions

Before you fly.

B-9, B-6, or B-3?

Think of it as a ladder: B-6 lightest, B-3 heaviest, B-9 in between — with the B-9 adding the bi-swing action back neither sibling has. If mobility matters most, this is the rung.

What does 'distresses to suede' mean?

The leather face softens and naps with wear, developing a rich suede finish and a battle-worn patina over time — by design, per Cockpit.

Is it a true B-3 reproduction?

No — Cockpit describes it as B-3-inspired, built for mobility. The throat latch and brass hardware carry the family look; the action back and lighter pile are its own.

How warm is it?

Heavier insulation than the B-6, lighter than the B-3 — a serious winter jacket that still layers and moves.

How does the sizing run?

Numeric sizes 38–50 — see the Size Guide chart for flat measurements.

Made in USA?

Yes — made in the USA by Cockpit USA.
