Artistry in Form and Function
Rendered in an exquisite glossy leather, selected for its deep luster and supple hand, this jacket is built to acquire character with every wear, developing a rich patina that tells a personal story. The design is a masterwork of aviator heritage, featuring a dramatic, enveloping front and a belted waist that creates a powerful, distinguished silhouette.
Every detail is considered and executed with precision. The detachable collar, fashioned from plush, silky sheepskin, provides adaptable warmth and a touch of sartorial luxury. The horn buttons offer a classic, secure closure, reflecting an era when quality was paramount. Lined with fine cotton gabardine, the jacket ensures comfort without compromising its structured form.
