Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used and how does it age?

This jacket is made from lambskin leather, known for its softness and lightweight feel. Over time, it develops a rich patina, especially in high-friction areas like the elbows and cuffs, giving it a unique, worn-in character.

How should I choose the right size for a slim-fit cut?

The fit is tailored and slim, so it’s recommended to size up if you prefer a slightly looser fit or plan to layer underneath. For precise sizing, refer to the brand’s size guide, as lambskin doesn’t stretch significantly.

Are the zips on the sleeves functional or decorative?

The zips at the cuffs are functional, allowing you to adjust the sleeve width for a snug fit or to accommodate layers underneath. They also add to the aviator-inspired aesthetic.

Is this jacket suitable for all weather conditions?

While the lambskin provides some wind resistance, it’s not fully waterproof. It’s best suited for mild to cool weather. For colder conditions, layering with a thermal or heavier coat is recommended.

How do I care for lambskin leather?

Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or direct heat. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dirt, and apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for lambskin to maintain its suppleness. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally on a padded hanger.

What is the significance of the Patrouille de France patch?

The patch pays homage to the French Air and Space Force aerobatic demonstration team, known as the Patrouille de France. It’s a nod to the aviator heritage that inspires the jacket’s design.
