A timeless aviator jacket with a modern twist—crafted for those who appreciate heritage without sacrificing comfort.

The Aeronautica Militare PN948PL248 00009 in Chocolate is a refined take on the classic aviator jacket, blending rugged aviation history with contemporary wearability. This piece is designed for men who value both style and substance, offering a regular fit that flatters without constriction. The rich chocolate hue adds depth, making it a versatile choice for layering or wearing as a statement piece.

Suede sheepskin: a balance of durability and softness

At the heart of this jacket is 100% authentic suede sheepskin, a material chosen for its natural resilience and luxurious feel. Unlike traditional leather, suede offers a velvety texture that mellows beautifully with wear, developing a unique patina over time. It’s lighter than cowhide but still robust enough to withstand daily use, making it ideal for transitional weather. The suede’s breathability ensures comfort, whether you’re indoors or braving a crisp autumn breeze.

Designed for all-season versatility

This jacket is built to adapt. The polyester padding provides just enough insulation for cooler days, while the cotton lining ensures breathability when temperatures fluctuate. The standout feature? A removable vegan fur collar, offering the option to switch between a sleek, minimalist look and a cosy, vintage-inspired silhouette. Whether you’re pairing it with jeans and a sweater or layering it over a tailored shirt, it transitions effortlessly from casual outings to more polished settings.

A fit that bridges classic and contemporary

The regular cut of the PN948PL248 strikes a balance between the oversized fits of modern streetwear and the structured tailoring of traditional aviator jackets. Available in Italian sizes XS to 3XL (equivalent to international XS-3XL, US 36-48, FR 42-56, UK 32-44), it accommodates a range of body types while maintaining a clean, streamlined profile. The suede’s natural drape enhances the jacket’s shape, ensuring it moves with you rather than against you.

Aeronautica Militare is Italy’s answer to aviation-inspired outerwear, drawing from the country’s rich history of flight and military quality manufacturing. The brand reinterprets iconic pilot jackets with a focus on quality materials and timeless design, often blending traditional techniques with modern sensibilities. Expect pieces that honour the past while feeling distinctly contemporary.

Yes, the fur collar is fully removable, allowing you to adjust the jacket’s style or warmth level depending on the weather.

How does the suede sheepskin age over time?

Suede sheepskin develops a natural patina with wear, softening further and gaining character. Regular brushing helps maintain its texture, while exposure to moisture should be avoided to preserve its appearance.

What is the lining made of?

How should I choose the right size for an aviator-style jacket?

Aviator jackets typically have a regular fit, so opt for your usual size if you prefer a classic silhouette. If you plan to layer underneath, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit.

Is the vegan fur collar as warm as real fur?

The vegan fur collar is designed to mimic the warmth and softness of real fur while being cruelty-free. It provides good insulation, though real fur may offer slightly better thermal retention in extreme conditions.

Can this jacket be worn in rainy conditions?

While the suede sheepskin is durable, it is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain can damage the leather, so it’s best to avoid wet conditions or use a protective spray designed for suede.
