Innocent Armor Women's Lambskin Leather Level IIIA Bulletproof Jacket

The Innocent Armor Women's Lambskin Leather Bulletproof Jacket delivers NIJ Level IIIA ballistic protection inside the silhouette of a tailored fashion jacket. Three removable ShieldTec® panels — two covering the front chest and one spanning the full back — have passed 35 or more independent ballistic tests at U.S. NIJ-accredited laboratories, rated to stop 9mm, .357 Magnum, and .44 Magnum handgun threats. The exterior is genuine lambskin in classic black with precision stitching, a contoured waist, and zero tactical appearance. Available in sizes XS through XL. Who this is for Professionals in elevated-risk urban environments who need daily ballistic protection without telegraphing the fact that they're wearing it. Women who want a feminine, flattering silhouette and refuse to choose between personal safety and personal style. Everyday civilians seeking discreet Level IIIA coverage for commutes, evening outings, and city life where a tactical vest is not practical or appropriate. Ballistic protection The jacket integrates three ShieldTec® soft armor panels: two front panels covering the chest zone and one full back panel. Each panel is independently tested at U.S. NIJ-accredited ballistic laboratories against Level IIIA threat parameters, with 35 or more test rounds documented. The panels are rated to defeat 9mm, .357 Magnum, and .44 Magnum handgun rounds. Like all soft armor rated at IIIA, these panels are not designed to stop rifle-caliber threats. Panels are removable, which allows the jacket to be spot-cleaned and the panels to be transferred or replaced independently. The FitTec® panel carrier system positions each panel flat across the core so coverage sits smoothly against the body without visible bulk. Design and construction The exterior shell is premium genuine lambskin leather in classic black. Hardware is durable and reinforced stitching runs throughout the construction. The interior carries a smooth lining designed to sit comfortably against skin. Internal panel pockets hold the ShieldTec® inserts in place without printing through the exterior. The overall aesthetic is luxury outerwear — no MOLLE, no external webbing, no visible indication of ballistic content. Fit and sizing The jacket follows a modern tailored fit designed for a feminine silhouette. It runs true to size for most wearers and is contoured through the waist. The lambskin leather sits firmer than softer jacket constructions, so those who plan to layer over a thick sweater or want additional freedom of movement should size up. The ballistic panels are engineered to sit lightweight enough for extended all-day wear. See the size chart for exact measurements, or contact us with sizing questions. Care and maintenance Remove all ballistic panels before any cleaning. Do not machine wash and do not tumble dry. Spot clean the leather shell gently with a soft, damp cloth. Apply a leather-safe conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct heat. Hang on a padded hanger to preserve the jacket's structure, and store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
