Velasca Balsorano Jacket

The Velasca Balsorano Jacket draws inspiration from classic aviator bombers of the 1920s, reinterpreted through a refined Made in Italy lens. Built entirely from sheepskin shearling, it features a soft suede exterior paired with a warm shorn wool lining that delivers serious insulation in colder temperatures.

Shearling is sheepskin leather that is tanned while preserving the fleece on one side. Once flipped, the fleece becomes a naturally insulating interior, while the outer surface takes on a velvety suede texture that softens and develops character over time. The material is treated and tanned in Italy according to European standards, ensuring durability and quality.

Details stay true to heritage bomber styling, with elasticated corduroy at the cuffs and hem for a snug fit. An antiqued brass galvanized zipper adds both strength and vintage appeal. Each piece is crafted in small batches in Venice, where textile craftsmanship runs deep, reinforcing Velasca’s artisanal approach.

The Balsorano is not just outerwear for winter. It is a long term investment piece designed to age beautifully and carry the quiet confidence of traditional Italian workmanship.
