Ever seen a jacket with a soft, fluffy collar that looks like a hop‑away rabbit? That's a bunny jacket. It started in the countryside as a warm layer for early mornings, and today it’s a staple for anyone who wants a mix of comfort and Western flair.
A bunny jacket usually has a sherpa‑lined front, a short cut, and that signature “bunny” collar made from fleece or faux fur. The body is often denim, canvas, or leather, so it still feels rugged enough for a ranch. The collar adds extra warmth around the neck without making the jacket bulky.
Fit is key. Most brands size the jacket like a regular denim jacket – you should be able to slide your arm in with a little room for a shirt underneath. If you like a looser look, go up one size. Check the shoulder seam; it should sit right at the edge of your shoulder, not over it.
Because the jacket is short, it works great with jeans, cargo pants, or even a midi skirt. Pair it with a plain tee for a laid‑back vibe or a flannel shirt for that classic ranch look. Boots are a must – a pair of leather cowboy boots or sturdy work boots finish the outfit.
Try adding a bandana under the collar for a splash of colour, or wear a western‑style belt with a big buckle to accent the waist. If you’re heading into cooler weather, layer a thermal shirt underneath – the bunny collar will keep your neck nice and warm.
When you shop, look for a sturdy zip or snap closure that won’t snag. Check the stitching on the collar – double stitching means it will hold up after many washes. If the jacket has a removable liner, you get extra versatility for spring and fall.
Cleaning a bunny jacket is easy. Spot‑clean any mud with a damp cloth, then toss it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water. Air‑dry it flat; high heat can shrink the faux‑fur collar.
Whether you’re riding out at dawn or just need a cozy layer for a night out, the bunny jacket gives you warmth, style, and a hint of Western spirit. Browse our collection to find the perfect colour and material that matches your wardrobe.
Accessories can push the bunny jacket from functional to fashion‑forward. A leather cuff bracelet, a turquoise necklace, or a classic cowboy hat pairs nicely. If you want a modern twist, swap the traditional hat for a snap‑back cap – the jacket’s short length keeps the look balanced.
Price for a good bunny jacket ranges from £80 to £200 depending on material and brand. Investing a bit more gets you genuine leather sleeves or a higher‑quality faux‑fur that lasts longer. Look for a clear return policy so you can try it on at home before deciding.
The bunny jacket works year‑round. In spring, wear it over a light tee and shorts for a breezy look. In autumn, layer it on top of a sweater and pair with corduroy pants. Its breathable lining prevents overheating, while the collar traps heat when it drops.
