ENGEL Natur short wool jacket BOMBER JACKET bordeaux – soft wool fleece made of organic merino wool
Well, this is one of those jackets you really have to feel for yourself. The short wool jacket by ENGEL Natur is made from organic merino wool in a wool fleece quality: soft, warm, light, and so comfortable that you almost forget you are wearing a jacket.
This burgundy color is the latest addition to the ENGEL Natur collection and, as far as we are concerned, an instant hit. Warm, rich, feminine, and easy to combine with denim, black, navy, grey, ecru, and other autumn colors. It is not a flashy color, but it is one with character. Just right.
Why you will want this short wool jacket
This bomber jacket really is the best of both worlds. It has the warmth and softness of a wool cardigan, but the collar, buttons, and patch pockets give it more of a short jacket look. Ideal for indoors, outdoors, in the car, on the bike, to the shops, or simply as an extra layer on a crisp day.
ENGEL Natur’s wool fleece is wonderfully airy and soft. Wool retains heat but also breathes. This means you won’t easily feel stuffy or sweaty, which can often happen with synthetic fleece. This is natural warmth, and it truly feels different.
And let’s be honest: this short length is also just very cute. Not as long as a coat, not as loose as a cardigan, but a short style that sits beautifully over trousers or a skirt. The two large pockets on the front give the jacket a cool, relaxed look.
Fit & styling
The ENGEL Natur bomber jacket fits true to size to slightly tailored. I am wearing size 42/44 in the photo. The jacket fits nicely without being tight and has enough room to wear a thin sweater or long-sleeved top underneath.
Are you between two sizes or do you want to wear the jacket a bit looser as an outer layer? Then I would recommend choosing the larger size. If you want to wear it more as a cardigan, you can usually stick to your own size.
Wear it with jeans for an easy everyday outfit. Over a dress, it gives a soft, natural look. And underneath a spacious winter coat, you can even wear it as an extra warm layer. It’s truly an item you will grab more often than you think.
Material & care
This short wool jacket is made of organic merino wool in wool fleece quality and is IVN BEST certified. This is one of the strictest quality labels for natural textiles, with a focus on material, production, and animal welfare.
You barely need to wash wool. Really. Simply hanging it outside to air out is often enough. Wool is naturally self-cleaning and, thanks to the lanolin, also dirt-repellent. That makes this jacket not only lovely to wear but also very easy to maintain.
Do you need to wash it after all? Always use a wool detergent containing lanolin, such as Lanalicious wool and silk detergent. Wash carefully on a cold wool cycle or by hand, do not wring, and lay flat to dry.
You can see extra tips in the video I made especially for you. Also, be sure to carefully read our wash guide, which you receive with every purchase.
Indispensable for wool fleece: the Gleener
Wool fleece stays beautiful if you treat it with a little love. Friction can cause some fuzz or pills over time, for example at the sleeves, sides, or where your bag rubs against it. This is normal for wool and says nothing about the quality.
Do not pull at the fuzz, as that will only loosen the fibers further. Instead, use a good fabric shaver, such as the Gleener fabric shaver. With it, you can gently refresh your wool clothing and your jacket will stay looking beautiful for much longer.
Sustainable & fair
ENGEL Natur is a brand we truly stand behind. For years, they have been making clothing from natural materials, with strict certifications and a lot of attention to people, animals, and the environment.
This jacket is made of organic merino wool and is IVN BEST certified. This means that the wool comes from controlled organic livestock and that the entire chain must meet high standards. No synthetic fleece, no plastic feel, just pure natural warmth.
And that is exactly why customers return to ENGEL so often. Once you have felt how soft and warm wool fleece is, you immediately understand why.
