When done correctly, the style has presence and <a href=”https://www.esquire.com/style/mens-fashion/g41955416/casual-blazers-for-men/” target=”_blank”>commands</a> a room.

But he also has the panache and swagger of James Bond, which means anything less than sexy just doesn’t suffice. And it doesn’t get any sexier than that combo, fellas. </p><p>It is important to note that most shearling <a href=”https://www.esquire.com/style/mens-fashion/a39225317/mens-jackets-coats-types/” target=”_blank”>jackets</a> and coats cost a pretty penny—even if they’re lined with sherpa.

Best Overall Shearling Jacket
Overland Classic Sheepskin B-3 Bomber Jacket
For fits that imbue the rugged, brawny vibe of the Great Outdoors (but with a streetwise bent), Overland is the name to know. The brand continuously offers a full range of shearling jackets and coats, with this detachable-hood bomber representing an unbeatable value. This is a pick I love so much that I officially Endorsed it—it’s warmer than my favorite parka, and certainly more stylish, too.

Best Shearling Trucker Jacket
Schott NYC Waxy Vintage Buffalo Trucker
Schott’s been making its shearling toppers for about as long as the style’s been around. So, if you want the real deal, look no further than this Buffalo leather jacket with genuine shearling trims and a cozy faux-fur lining. It’s warm and slightly Western, with a burnished look, snap buttons, welt pockets, and a vintage look.

Best Not-Quite-Shearling Jacket
Levi’s Type III Sherpa Jacket
When it comes to a denim jacket, Levi’s, the brand that reputedly created the style, is hard to beat. And with a price tag of just $80, the same can be said of this sherpa-lined option. It’s easy and versatile, with a casual timelessness that pairs perfectly with jeans (the good ol’ Canadian tuxedo never hurt anybody) or work pants alike. The beauty of this style in my books is that it lets you layer with ease; the sherpa isn’t overly warm or thick, but still soft and plush enough to provide some heat.

best shearling bomber jacket
Flint and Tinder Golden Bear Leather Bomber
If you’re on the hunt for something classic, it’s hard to do better than a bomber. And if you want to twist that classic just a bit by getting it in leather with a shearling collar that’s detachable? Well, all the better. This hardy jacket is designed to last a lifetime, crafted from nubuck leather that just gets better with age. And with details like wool and nylon ribbing, a leather tassel zipper, and deep flap pockets, this is one that’ll be there for you no matter what.

best affordable shearling jacket
Quince 100% Shearling Bomber Jacket
Quince is honestly my go-to brand for high-quality items that are priced incredibly fairly. Exhibit A: this 100% genuine leather jacket, with 100% genuine sheepskin lining. Damn. This is a style all about providing top-notch warmth without the super-high price tag; it has a two-way zip and adjustable buckles for extra insulation, plus a broken-in look and feel for comfort right from the jump. Slanted welt pockets are perfectly-placed for you to slip your hands into, and if you need even more warmth, the adjustable waist tabs will give you the perfect fit.

best shearling chore jacket
Todd Snyder Shearling Chore Jacket
Personally, the thing I don’t like about shearling jackets is how thick and bulky they can be. Todd Snyder elegantly combats this problem with a long-line jacket that’s slim and chic, not puffy and unwieldy. Crafted in Italy, this chore jacket has lamb shearling lining that extends to the exterior of the collar, and a lived-in, soft, calf-leather outer. It’s easy to layer with, thanks to its length, and has four front pockets to store your essentials.

best chic shearling jacket
Owen Barry x Alex Mill Shearling Rodeo Jacket
Might as well get two of these unisex shearling jackets from the get-go, ’cause if you don’t, you and your wife are going to be fighting over one all winter long. Alex Mill teams up with family-owned British label Owen Barry, which has been crafting high-quality shearling jackets for over 75 years, to make this easy, cozy style. It has deep patch pockets (designed at a slant, so you can easily stuff your hands inside for warmth), a relaxed fit, and an effortlessly cool, elegant style that’s just what the season calls for.

best edgy shearling jacket
Cos Shearling Flight Jacket
The coolest leather jacket you own could also be the coolest shearling jacket you own, if you go for this pick from Cos. The modernized flight jacket is warm and slightly edgy, with an all-black leather shell and black shearling, a two-way front zip, and a lived-in, rugged look. The relaxed fit and slightly elongated hem make this a great pick for layering, too.
