"Wore the classic leather biker jacket through three chilly night rides and the heavy-grain hide just breaks in better with every mile. Proper weight to it."

Product Overview
Built with the rugged character of classic RAF-inspired flight jackets, this double-collar sheepskin shearling jacket combines a substantial 1.5mm sheepskin leather construction with a waxed finish and reinforced sewing details.
The design focuses on traditional aviator styling while paying particular attention to the construction of the front zipper, where double top stitching helps create a stronger and more defined finish.
Waxed Sheepskin Leather
The jacket is made from 1.5mm sheepskin leather with a waxed finish. The wax treatment gives the leather a distinctive surface appearance and adds character to the overall RAF-inspired design.
The substantial leather construction makes this jacket particularly suited to a rugged winter wardrobe, while the natural characteristics of sheepskin contribute to its classic shearling appearance.
Signature Double Collar
The double-collar design is one of the jacket's defining features. It gives the coat a pronounced aviation-inspired appearance and creates additional visual structure around the neckline.
The layered collar also complements the traditional RAF flying-jacket aesthetic, making this a strong choice for anyone looking for a more distinctive shearling aviator style.
Reinforced Zipper Construction
The jacket is equipped with a YKK zipper for the main closure. Around the zipper area, double top stitching has been used to provide a reinforced finish and add definition to one of the jacket's key construction points.
For sewing, the jacket uses 0.4mm, 100% polyester thread, selected for its suitability for durable garment construction.
Construction Details
Rather than relying only on the appearance of the jacket, its construction details are an important part of the design:
- 1.5mm sheepskin leather
- Waxed leather finish
- Double-collar RAF-inspired design
- YKK zipper
- Double top stitching around the zipper
- 0.4mm 100% polyester sewing thread
- Traditional flying-jacket styling
RAF-Inspired Styling
The double collar and waxed sheepskin construction give this jacket a strong vintage aviation character. It works naturally with denim, boots, knitwear, and other rugged winter pieces.
For a classic outfit, pair it with dark jeans and leather boots. You can also keep the rest of the outfit minimal and allow the waxed leather and double collar to provide the visual character.

- Avoid using household detergents or aggressive cleaning products.
