A tribute to aviation heritage, crafted for those who appreciate precision and legacy.

The OFFICIAL 70 ALPHA DARK NAVY is not just a leather jacket—it’s a piece of history reimagined for the modern wearer. Designed to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Patrouille de France, this limited-edition aviator jacket was originally created for the squadron’s pilots before being released to the public. The deep navy hue, a nod to classic aviation uniforms, is paired with premium lambskin leather, chosen for its balance of durability and suppleness. The result is a jacket that feels as good as it looks, with a regular fit that’s slightly tapered at the waist for a refined silhouette.

Versatility meets authenticity in every detail.

One of the standout features of this jacket is its detachable fur collar, which transforms the look from a rugged aviator to a sleek, shirt-style jacket in seconds. The interior is just as thoughtfully designed, with a printed lining that adds a touch of personality, while the five pockets—three exterior and two interior—offer practical storage without compromising style. Whether you’re layering it over a casual T-shirt and jeans or pairing it with tailored trousers and boots, the OFFICIAL 70 ALPHA adapts effortlessly to any setting. It’s a jacket built for all seasons, too: wear it with the fur collar for winter warmth or remove it for a lighter, more breathable option in milder weather.

Exclusivity in every stitch.

This isn’t just another leather jacket—it’s a collector’s item. The OFFICIAL 70 ALPHA features exclusive Patrouille de France patches on the chest and shoulder, a subtle yet powerful reminder of its origins. The lambskin leather, known for its softness and resilience, will develop a rich patina over time, ensuring that your jacket ages beautifully with each wear. To keep it looking its best, a bit of care is all it takes: impermeabilise it before the first wear and treat it with a leather cleaner a few times a year to maintain its lustre.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from premium lambskin leather. Lambskin is known for its softness and lightweight feel, but it develops a unique patina over time, showing natural wear that enhances its character. It’s more delicate than cowhide, so it requires careful maintenance to preserve its appearance.

How should I care for the fur collar to keep it in good condition?

The detachable fur collar should be stored in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing it to moisture or direct heat. For cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dust and debris, and consider professional cleaning for deeper maintenance.

Is the jacket suitable for warmer weather if I remove the fur collar?

Yes, removing the fur collar makes the jacket more adaptable to milder temperatures. The lambskin leather is breathable, and the regular fit allows for layering over lightweight garments, making it versatile for transitional seasons.

What are the dimensions of the pockets, and are they practical for everyday use?

The jacket features three external pockets—two chest pockets and one lower pocket—along with two internal pockets. The chest pockets are large enough to hold essentials like a wallet or phone, while the internal pockets provide secure storage for smaller items.

How does the waist adjustment work with the ribbed cuffs?

The ribbed cuffs at the waist and wrists provide a slight adjustment to the fit, ensuring the jacket sits snugly without being restrictive. This design helps retain warmth while allowing flexibility for movement.

Can the jacket be worn for formal occasions, or is it strictly casual?

While the jacket is rooted in aviator style, its premium lambskin leather and tailored regular fit make it versatile enough for smart-casual occasions. Pairing it with tailored trousers and leather boots can elevate the look for semi-formal events.

How often should I apply leather conditioner to maintain the jacket?

For lambskin leather, conditioning every 3 to 6 months is recommended, depending on wear and exposure. Use a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Always test a small area first.
