An aviator jacket that blends timeless elegance with a touch of rugged sophistication

The OTTAWA DARK BROWN +COLLAR RUB OFF 708 CORTECCIA is a refined take on the classic aviator jacket, crafted from supple sheep leather that rivals the softness and lightness of lambskin. Its deep brown hue, enriched with the distinctive Corteccia finish, gives it a lived-in character from the first wear—no need to wait for a patina to develop. The collar, treated with a subtle rub-off effect, adds a layer of texture and depth, making this piece stand out in a sea of ordinary leather jackets.

A jacket designed for versatility and comfort

With its regular fit, this jacket is cut to flatter without constriction, making it an effortless addition to both casual and smart-casual wardrobes. The lightweight yet durable sheep leather ensures it’s as comfortable in transitional weather as it is in cooler months. Whether you’re layering it over a knit or pairing it with a tailored shirt, the OTTAWA adapts seamlessly, offering a balance of warmth and breathability that’s hard to find in heavier leathers.

Crafted with an eye for detail

The Corteccia finish isn’t just a visual flourish—it’s a nod to traditional leatherworking techniques that enhance the material’s natural grain, giving it a tactile richness. The vegan fur collar, a modern twist on the classic aviator design, provides warmth without compromising on style or ethics. Every stitch and seam reflects a commitment to quality, from the precision of the construction to the thoughtful placement of hardware.

Specialising in leather outerwear, the label draws inspiration from classic styles—aviators, bombers, and biker jackets—while infusing them with modern sensibilities.
