Product Description

This leather flight jacket is based on the classic flight jacket design. It is made of thick and durable leather, which provides optimal cold protection during cold seasons. The inner layer is lined with plush sherpa for warmth and comfort. It features a removable collar design, which allows you to adjust it according to your style.

 

This jacket, known as a pilot jacket, was designed to be worn by aircraft pilots. It was made to provide protection from the cold and durability required for the highly technical flight missions. This type of jacket is also popular as a military specification item such as the "G-1" and "MA-1", and still inspires many fashion brands today.

Year

Judging from the inside tag, it is estimated to have been made in 1975. The design of this jacket follows the style of classic flight jackets from the 1940s and 1950s, and its design and construction make it a highly sought-after revival item in the modern era when military fashion is making a comeback.

Production area

This jacket is from the "The Pilot" brand, and judging from the label, it was produced in France or elsewhere in Europe. The durable leather and sturdy stitching are reminiscent of traditional handiwork from European workshops.

Styling suggestions

1. Vintage Military Style
   This jacket can be paired with cargo pants and boots to complete a vintage military look. It goes particularly well with brown or khaki pants, and military boots for a tough look.
2. Casual Street Style
   Pair it with denim jeans and sneakers for a casual street style look for everyday use. Wear a hoodie or sweatshirt underneath for a relaxed look, while the leather of the jacket tightens up the overall look.
3. Urban Chic Style
   Pair it with black slim pants and boots to create a sophisticated urban style. While maintaining urban simplicity, the leather texture adds elegance and gives a mature impression.
