Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from high-quality sheep leather, known for its softness and durability. Over time, it develops a rich patina, enhancing its character while maintaining its robustness. The leather remains supple with proper care, adapting to your movements and wear.

How should I choose the right size for a regular fit?

The regular fit is designed to offer a comfortable, relaxed silhouette without being oversized. Refer to the Italian sizing guide provided—if you typically wear a medium in standard European fits, an IT 50 (equivalent to a UK 36 or US 46) should suit you. Consider sizing down if you prefer a slightly closer fit.

Is the jacket suitable for year-round wear?

Yes, the lightweight padding and breathable cotton lining make it versatile for most seasons. It provides enough warmth for autumn and spring while remaining comfortable in milder winter conditions. Layering with a sweater or scarf can extend its use into cooler weather.

How do I care for the leather to maintain its quality?

Avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and apply a leather conditioner occasionally to keep it supple. Store it on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and allow airflow to prevent moisture buildup.

What is the significance of the Squadriglia degli Assi patch?

The patch pays homage to the elite squadrons of the Italian Air Force, known as the 'Squadriglia degli Assi' (Squadron of Aces). It adds a historical touch, reflecting the jacket’s aviation-inspired heritage and the brand’s connection to military aviation.

Can the jacket be dressed up for formal occasions?

While it leans towards a casual or smart-casual aesthetic, its sleek black leather and refined details allow it to pair well with tailored trousers, a button-down shirt, and boots for a polished yet understated look. It bridges the gap between rugged and refined effortlessly.
