An aviator jacket that carries the spirit of the skies

The MYTHIC + FUR SHEEP PETROL COGNAC from Daytona isn’t just a leather jacket—it’s a piece of history reimagined for the modern wearer. Crafted from supple, durable sheepskin, this jacket blends the rugged charm of vintage aviation gear with the refined quality manufacturing Daytona has perfected over decades. The petrol cognac hue, with its marbled, patinated finish, gives it an instantly lived-in character, as if it’s already been on countless adventures. This is a jacket that doesn’t just look the part; it evolves with you, developing a unique patina that tells your story.

A design rooted in aviation heritage

Inspired by the iconic jackets worn by US Air Force pilots, this model stays true to the original silhouette while incorporating thoughtful modern updates. The removable sheepskin collar—soft, warm, and effortlessly stylish—pays homage to the functional needs of early aviators, who relied on such details to brave the open cockpits of their planes. The jacket’s construction is equally purposeful: two large flap pockets with side openings and press studs offer practical storage, while underarm vents ensure breathability during milder days. Elasticated cuffs and waistband keep the cold out, making it a versatile choice for transitional weather.

Built for comfort, designed for style

The sheepskin used here is a masterclass in balance—lightweight yet robust, supple yet resilient. It moulds to your body over time, offering a fit that feels custom-made. The polyester lining is lightweight but warm, with a quilted cotton layer adding an extra touch of insulation without bulk. Inside, three pockets—including a zippered compartment and a dedicated phone pocket—provide secure storage for your essentials. Whether you’re layering it over a simple T-shirt on a crisp autumn evening or pairing it with a chunky knit for winter, this jacket adapts effortlessly to your wardrobe.

More than a jacket—a statement

Daytona’s MYTHIC + FUR SHEEP PETROL COGNAC is a celebration of timeless style, where function meets form in the most elegant way. The multiple patches and badges aren’t just decorative; they’re nods to the jacket’s military roots, adding depth and character to its design. This is a piece that commands attention without trying too hard, a wardrobe staple that bridges the gap between rugged utility and refined sophistication. Whether you’re drawn to its aviation heritage, its premium materials, or its effortless versatility, this jacket is built to last—and to be loved for years to come.
