{"product_id":"chevignon-world-traveler-b3-vintage-sheepskin-bomber-jacket","title":"Vintage 1990s Chevignon World Traveler B-3 Sheepskin Shearling Bomber Jacket","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"407\" data-end=\"705\"\u003eAn early 1990s Chevignon World Traveler B-3, cut from full sheepskin and finished in the honey gold tone that defined the brand at its peak. This is the version that established Chevignon as the European benchmark for the B-3, where material, weight and proportion were handled with real authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"707\" data-end=\"1227\"\u003eThe outer skin sits in that warm caramel range, shifting toward honey gold in the light, with natural mottling and tonal variation across the panels. It has not been corrected or over-finished, so the grain, markings and irregularities remain visible throughout, exactly as intended. These are not flaws but part of the hide itself, giving the jacket depth and honesty. The surface has held well with only two light scuffs, one at the left shoulder and one to the lower front, both minor and in keeping with careful use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1837\"\u003eChevignon, founded in Paris in 1979 by \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eGuy Azoulay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, built its reputation on sourcing and reworking original American military and workwear. The B-3 was central to that identity. First developed in 1934 for the \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eUnited States Army Air Corps\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, the original jacket was designed for open cockpit flying at extreme altitude, where insulation and structure were critical. By the late 1980s and early 1990s, Chevignon had refined this pattern into something both faithful and wearable, and the World Traveler line became one of the strongest interpretations produced outside the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1839\" data-end=\"2315\"\u003eThe shearling remains dense, clean and even throughout, with a deep cream pile that has not collapsed or thinned. The collar is broad and heavily lined, designed to be worn up at the throat with twin leather straps and gunmetal buckles, staying true to the original flight specification. Worn open, it sits wide across the shoulders with the same weight and presence. The cuffs and hem retain their full shearling return, consistent and well balanced against the outer panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2317\" data-end=\"2763\"\u003eDark brown leather binding runs through every seam, defining the structure of the jacket and giving contrast against the lighter body. It frames the zip channel, cuffs, hem and pocket openings, keeping the silhouette controlled. The front zip runs cleanly, the pockets sit neatly into the body, and the original World Traveler interior label remains intact, complete with aircraft motif and full period branding from before the mid 1990s changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2765\" data-end=\"3043\"\u003eThe jacket has been professionally cleaned and conditioned in the workshop. The leather remains supple, the shearling fresh, and all hardware functions as it should. It presents as a well-kept example with strong material integrity and clear character from age rather than wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEarly 1990s Chevignon World Traveler B-3 sheepskin bomber jacket, Établissements Charles Chevignon, Paris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFull genuine sheepskin construction, suede outer face in honey gold, cream shearling lining throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLarge shearling collar with double dark leather strap and gunmetal buckle closure, faithful to original USAAF B-3 specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDark brown leather binding throughout all seams, armholes, hem band, zipper channel and pocket surrounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFront zip on dark brass ladder with leather pull tab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSlash pockets both sides, leather bound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDeep shearling cuffs, turned back, original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBroad shearling hem band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEmbroidered World Traveler interior label with vintage aircraft motif, full version as produced pre-1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eChevignon leather tab embossed at right hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFine chain hanging loop at centre back neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eInterior quality label in French and English confirming hand-selected skins and genuine leather provenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eShearling clean, dense and even, pile undisturbed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eGarment Measurements (Laid Flat)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eChest (armpit to armpit): 24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eShoulders (seam to seam): 21\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSleeve length (underarm seam to cuff): 19\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSleeve length (shoulder seam to cuff): 28\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBack length (collar seam to hem): 26\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSize label reads: (L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBest suited to a 42-43\" chest.
