Aviator jacket meets modern precision in this Redskins RAFAL YCON Black.

This is not just another leather jacket—it’s a tribute to the iconic aviator style, reimagined with the precision of the Patrouille de France. The RAFAL YCON Black is crafted from full-grain lambskin leather, known for its supple yet durable nature, and finished with a patina that gives it depth and character from the first wear. The fit is tailored, with ribbed cuffs and waistband to lock in warmth, while a front zip closure ensures a sleek silhouette. Multiple zipped pockets—two on the sides, two or three inside, and a pilot pocket on the sleeve—offer practicality without compromising style. The standout feature? A removable shearling or sherpa-lined collar, fastened by buttons or zip, which reveals a sleek leather shirt collar underneath. Inside, a detachable quilted lining (reminiscent of a puffer jacket) adds versatility, while the polyester or cotton lining is printed with the Patrouille de France emblem for a touch of heritage. Weighing in at 1.9 kg, this jacket is built for autumn and winter, blending warmth with a refined edge.

Designed for those who appreciate detail.

The RAFAL YCON Black doesn’t just look the part—it’s engineered for adaptability. The removable elements (collar, lining, and even the Patrouille de France patches on the chest and sleeve) let you customise the jacket to suit the occasion. Wear it with the shearling collar for a rugged, vintage aviator look, or strip it back to the leather shirt collar for a more streamlined aesthetic. The lambskin leather, while soft to the touch, is thick enough to withstand daily wear, developing a unique patina over time that tells your story. The ribbed trims at the wrists and waist ensure a snug fit, while the quilted lining provides insulation without bulk. Whether you’re layering it over a sweater for a casual outing or pairing it with tailored trousers for a night out, this jacket transitions effortlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from lambskin leather, known for its softness and lightweight feel. Over time, it develops a unique patina, enhancing its character while maintaining durability. The patinated finish gives it an immediate vintage look.

Is the fur collar genuine and how is it attached?

Yes, the collar is made from genuine sheepskin fur. It’s removable and can be attached either by buttons or a zip, allowing you to wear the jacket with just the leather shirt-style collar underneath for a sleeker look.

How warm is the jacket with the removable lining?

The jacket features a quilted inner lining that mimics a puffer jacket, providing significant warmth. With both the lining and fur collar attached, it’s well-suited for autumn and winter. The lining can be removed for milder weather.

What’s the fit like and should I size up?

The cut is tailored and fitted, designed to sit close to the body. If you prefer a slightly looser fit or plan to layer underneath, it’s recommended to size up. The jacket runs true to size for a snug fit.

Are the patches on the jacket removable?

How do I care for the leather and fur?

For the leather, use a damp cloth to wipe off dirt and apply a leather conditioner occasionally to maintain suppleness. The fur collar should be brushed gently to keep it fluffy and stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing either to direct heat or moisture.

What’s the weight of the jacket and is it heavy to wear?

The jacket weighs approximately 1.9 kg, which is relatively lightweight for a leather aviator jacket with added features like a fur collar and quilted lining. The weight is well-distributed, making it comfortable for daily wear.
