Saint Exupery bomber jacket

The aviator jacket (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 was called "The Irvin" or "the flying jacket". Made of sheepskin with a wide collar to protect against the cold.

The US Army developed different models from 1927, according to needs. The lighter models, standardized under the letter A, are the "aviator" jackets. Made of leather, cotton or silk. The warmer jackets are the "bomber jackets" standardized under the letter B. Intended for bomber pilots and fighter pilots in winter.

Becoming icons of American culture after the war, US Air Force pilots popularized the "aviator" jacket. The model was adopted by many Hollywood stars and TV series in the 70s.
