4258-”A-1” Bomber Jacket

4258-SUEDE-”A-1” Dark Brown Suede Bomber

The classic suede leather flight jacket originally worn by Navy pilots had three limitations: the fur collar was occasionally too warm, the goatskin was so glossy finished that the jacket looked eternally brand-new; and there was no hand pockets. Our own version preserves iconic attributes such as bi-swing back, but we have made sheep skin shearling collar detachable and have added side entry pockets. We chose velvety cowhide suede and have added soft 100% wool herringbone inside lining, and finally buffed it a little so the suede jacket looks lived-in before its maiden flight.

100% soft cowhide suede, lightly padded, wool lined winter leather jacket. 100% wool herringbone body lining. 100% satin striped sleeve lining. 100 grams polyfill insulation padding. The jacket has concealed full 8gg dark nickel metal zipper and snaps closure, housed under buttoned CF placket. Super warm and comfortable autumn/ winter jacket. The shell is slightly buffed on the seems to produce slightly lived in look. Ample pocketing, signature shank button closure, storm pocket welts, full zipper closure and retro bomber A-1 style jacket details make this jacket a unique fall / winter accessory. Double Side & Patch pockets, heavy 2X2 wool blend rib cuffs, back shoulder pleats for extended range of motion. Fully removable real shearling collar.
