Real sheepskin leather throughout. Details you don't get: Lightning zips and a useless elastic strap under the collar. WPG jackets are a bit ligher and more flexible than most others, so they are more comfortable and practical, while still maintaining the classic good looks of this style of jacket. Order one size larger if you want to wear this over a bulky sweater.NOTE: this copy is WPG's own product and is not the product of Aviation Leathercraft, Aero Leather, Eastman Leather, or any other well-known company.
