Leather Flying Jackets

Leather flying jackets trace their origins back to the First World War. In the early years of aviation, open cockpits and increasing altitudes meant that pilots needed heavy duty clothing to stay warm so that they could function their equipment appropriately. As a direct result the first leather flying jackets were designed, incorporating such innovative features as wrap around collars, zip fasteners, snug cuffs and waistbands.

While Time and fashions have moved on since then, these now Leather Flying jackets and original characteristics of the coats have maintained a great look through the decades. The look of the original Leather Flying Jackets and leather bomber jackets have rightly become a design classic.
