Aviation heritage meets modern quality manufacturing in this collector’s leather jacket.

The PILOT ATLAS BROWN is a tribute to the legendary A2 aviator style, reimagined through a collaboration between Redskins and the Armée de l’Air et de l’Espace. Crafted from smooth, slightly aged lambskin leather, this jacket balances rugged durability with refined elegance. Weighing 1.82 kg, it’s substantial enough to feel protective yet supple enough to move with you—whether you’re navigating city streets or embracing the spirit of open skies.

A design rooted in functionality, elevated by detail.

Every element of the PILOT ATLAS BROWN serves a purpose, from the elasticated rib-knit cuffs and waistband that seal out the cold to the two front pilot pockets with snap-button flaps for secure storage. Inside, two zippered pockets keep essentials safe, while the removable shearling collar—authentic sheepskin—adds warmth without bulk. The detachable quilted chest panel, lined with synthetic down, offers an extra layer of insulation, making this jacket adaptable to shifting temperatures. The lining itself is a nod to aviation history, featuring a metallic-printed world map or a motif inspired by the French Air and Space Force.

Authenticity in every stitch and emblem.

This isn’t just a jacket; it’s a piece of military-inspired storytelling. The removable leather patch on the chest, embossed with the Armée de l’Air et de l’Espace logo and a metallic hawk, sits over the heart—a subtle yet powerful detail. The French cockade, an enamel-metal emblem, reinforces the connection to aviation heritage, while the ton-on-ton embroidered logo on the right shoulder adds understated sophistication. Leather reinforcements on the shoulders, stitched with visible topstitching, echo the robustness of vintage flight jackets, ensuring this piece ages as gracefully as it performs.

Armée de l’Air et de l’Espace, the French Air and Space Force, brings a legacy of precision and innovation to this collaboration. Known for its role in shaping aviation history, the brand lends its expertise to create pieces that honour military quality manufacturing while adapting to contemporary style. This partnership with Redskins—a label celebrated for its reinterpretation of classic leather jackets—results in a jacket that bridges tradition and modernity, designed for those who value both heritage and functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from smooth, robust lambskin leather with a slightly aged finish. Lambskin develops a rich patina over time, softening further while maintaining its durability. The leather will darken slightly with wear, enhancing its vintage character.

Is the shearling collar genuinely made from sheepskin?

Yes, the removable collar is made from authentic shearling, which provides natural warmth and a luxurious feel. It’s designed to retain heat while remaining breathable.

How warm is the jacket with the removable lining?

The jacket is designed for versatility. With both the shearling collar and the quilted down-filled windbreaker attached, it provides substantial warmth for cooler seasons. Removing either or both layers makes it suitable for milder weather.

What are the dimensions of the pockets and can they fit larger items?

The two front pilot pockets are generously sized with snap-button flaps, ideal for storing gloves or small accessories. The two side hand pockets and two applied pockets with flaps offer additional space, though bulkier items may feel snug.

How should the jacket be cleaned or maintained?

The lambskin leather requires professional cleaning to preserve its quality. Avoid exposing it to moisture or direct heat. For the shearling collar, use a soft brush to remove dust and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Does the jacket run true to size or should I size up?

The jacket has a tailored pilot fit with elasticated ribbing at the waist and cuffs for adjustability. It’s recommended to choose your usual size, but if you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up, especially if layering over thick knitwear.

Are the metallic details on the lining purely decorative?

The metallic print on the lining is both decorative and functional, paying homage to aviation heritage. It adds a subtle sheen while reinforcing the jacket’s connection to its military-inspired design.
