Inspired by the early Type A-1 flight jacket, this short jacket keeps the original style’s distinctive knitted collar, button front and compact waist-length shape.

The brown version uses a smooth faux-leather shell with a slightly structured hand, balanced by a soft rib-knit collar, cuffs and waistband. Two buttoned patch pockets keep the front simple and functional, while the wool-blend lining adds warmth without making the jacket feel overly bulky.

The result is an easy-to-wear version of an early flight-jacket silhouette, with enough period character to stand out without feeling like a costume.
