Care

The aviator (or bomber) jacket was born after the First World War to protect pilots flying in unpressurized cockpits, exposed to temperatures as low as -60°.

Leslie Leroy Irvin, an American parachutist, designed the first model in the 1920s. The model is called “The Irvin” or “the flying jacket”. Made of sheepskin, with a wide collar to keep out the cold.

From 1927 onwards, the U.S. Army produced a range of different models to suit different needs. The lightest, standardized under the letter A, are the “aviator” jackets. Made of leather, cotton or silk. Warmer jackets are “bomber jackets”, standardized under the letter B. Designed for bomber pilots, and fighter pilots in winter.

After the war, US Air Force pilots became icons of American culture, popularizing the “aviator” jacket. The model was adopted by many Hollywood stars and TV series in the 70s.

We've revisited it with a flannel with tennis stripes. For 100% sportswear DNA. Crease-resistant, it's really practical. 2 outside and 2 inside zipped pockets.
