Bernie has the perfect easy fit, it is a gorgeous contemporary jacket with traditional features such as leather football buttons and tailored buttonholes, 

The classic finish is rounded off wonderfully with detail stitch leather edging, making it an ageless piece, that is super versatile. 

Bernie's classic finish means it wears well in casual, daytime, business or evening settings;  it offers fantastic warmth and protection, whilst working well within a huge variety of wardrobe needs.

To complement the styling we have suggested Bernie in a traditional curly shearling, this natural sheepskin is an ideal choice for an all-around timeless jacket.

Handcrafted in our factory in Somerset, UK. Since 1948.

Merino Curly

Merino Curly Sheepskin (Shearling):- The characteristic of curly sheepskins is one of the most natural, essentially, the fleece is left soft and curly as you would find in nature. The wool is dense and warm, giving your winter coat a snuggly cosy feel.

The pelt side can be finished with either sueded or napalan (leather) surface.

Sueded: OB hand select all their skins to ensure that the suede surface is always soft and sensual, with a slight velvet nap on the suede.

Napalan: Is both a protective and a fashion finish, the leather surface can offer more protection against staining and grubbiness.

In our Somerset workshops every skin is painstakingly matched for every coat, by toning with adjoining skins we ensure that the garment is completely consistent in colour and texture all over, matching is a very skilled process, with many years training to perfect,  if the matching process is not carried out to the highest standard, a shearling garment can include many multicoloured panels,  OB also match the wool side of the coat as well ensuring that when you open it,  inside there is a consistency throughout.
