I really love the rich history of classic leather bombers and am considering these two jackets. I know they are very different but I was hoping you could all offer your opinions on which you would choose and why.

The A2 style jacket has a zip out thick/heavy fleece liner that makes the jacket very warm and the shearling collar is also removable.

The B3 Shearling jacket is beautifully made and fits me like a glove but it can only be worn on the coldest of NYC days.

Whichever jacket I get would need to act as my winter coat and be able to get me through cold and windy NYC days. I dress in typical business casual everyday.

What do you recommend?
