UGG Belfast Suede Bomber Jacket

Made To Order | The Walking Dead Luke Grimes Murder Jacket | UGG Australia Belfast Brown Suede Leather Bomber Jacket

Good luck finding the original. UGG discontinued the Belfast years ago, and the demand has only gone up since. The UGG Belfast Suede Bomber Jacket became famous after Andrew Lincoln wore it as Rick Grimes across multiple seasons of The Walking Dead. Costume designer Eulyn Womble took the original UGG Belfast, removed the chest pocket, covered the branding on the back, and distressed it to match Rick’s world. That altered version became one of the most recognized jackets in television history. The original UGG retailed around $499 before it was pulled from production, and secondhand listings now go for much more when they surface at all.

The Bomber That Started a Search

There are entire forum threads dedicated to tracking down the Ugg Belfast suede jacket. People have spent years looking for originals in their size, reaching out to other collectors, even contacting UGG directly, asking them to bring it back. That kind of following doesn’t happen with most jackets. It happened with the Belfast because the design itself is genuinely good. Rick Grimes made it famous, but the bomber shape, the brown suede, and the sherpa collar are the reasons people still want one long after the show ended.

Brown Suede With the Right Weight

The UGG Belfast Brown Suede Leather Bomber Jacket uses a warm brown suede that sits in a middle tone. Not too light, not too dark. It reads rich under indoor lighting and takes on a slightly warmer, almost caramel quality in natural sunlight. Suede has a texture that smooth leather can’t replicate. It absorbs light instead of reflecting it, which gives the jacket depth and a worn-in feel even when it’s new.

The faux fur sherpa turn-down collar is the detail that defines the Belfast silhouette. It’s the first thing your eye catches, and it adds a layer of warmth around the neck that most bombers skip. The zipper closure runs the full front, and the fit follows a standard bomber shape: fitted at the waist and cuffs, relaxed through the chest and shoulders. Inside, a polyester lining keeps things smooth against your base layer. The weight is midrange, heavy enough to hold its shape but not so thick that you can’t wear it comfortably from early fall through late spring.

UGG Did More Than Boots

Most people only know UGG for footwear, but the Ugg Australia Belfast suede bomber jacket proved the brand could build outerwear just as well. UGG Australia started with sheepskin boots and built a reputation around comfort-first design. When they applied that same thinking to jackets, the Belfast was the standout result. Soft materials, a relaxed fit, and construction that held up over time. The fact that a TV costume designer picked it as the base for one of television’s most iconic character looks says a lot about the quality of the original design.

How to Style It and Keep the Suede Clean

The Ugg brown Belfast suede bomber jacket pairs naturally with dark jeans and boots, which is the closest you’ll get to the Rick Grimes look without a Colt Python on your hip. For a cleaner setup, try it over a grey crewneck with slim chinos and white sneakers. The brown suede works well with earth tones, navy, black, and olive. Keep the layers underneath simple so the sherpa collar and suede texture stay the focal points.

Brush the suede with a soft-bristle suede brush after wearing to remove surface dust and keep the nap even. Apply a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply every few weeks during regular use. If it gets caught in rain, let it air dry fully away from direct heat. For any stubborn marks, a suede eraser works well on small spots. Avoid machine washing entirely. Store it on a padded hanger in a breathable space to prevent the collar from flattening.
