Military Aviator Jacket

The Military Aviator Jacket is a plain olive flight jacket in the military mould. Nylon twill, a tan leather collar and two big pocket flaps, with no badges or patches to dress it up.

Plain, useful and ready for work.

Built Around Function

Military flight jackets were made to be worn all day by people who needed their hands free. The pockets here are large and flapped, a small zipped sleeve pocket holds a pen or a pass, and the knit cuffs and waistband keep draughts out.

The tan leather collar and flaps break up the olive and add some structure.

Nylon twill is lighter than leather and dries faster, which makes this a good choice for spring and autumn. It will not crack, and it is easy to keep clean if you spend your days outdoors.

Inside the Military Aviator Jacket

• Olive-drab nylon twill: hard-wearing and light.
• Tan leather collar and flaps: a strong contrast.
• Zipped sleeve pocket: on the upper left arm.
• Knit cuffs and waistband: khaki, close fitting.

Fit and Maintenance

The fit is regular, with room for a sweater. Choose your usual size. Brush off dirt, sponge-clean the nylon with mild soap, and wipe the leather trim with a dry cloth. This is an inspired military style, not an official service garment.
