Lambskin Bush Pilot Jacket

Rugged and durable men’s leather jackets



We chose French lambskin for our Bush Pilot Jacket. Rugged and durable, it resists abrasions and abuse, staves off wind and cold, and develops a fine patina throughout the years. This jacket style was worn by pilots who flew the 1929 Travelair 6000B, a wooden-framed, fabric-covered single-prop plane first used to fly supplies to homesteaders in Idaho's Selway-Bitterroot Mountains. The pilots chose the bush jacket to fend off the cold mountain air that seeped into the plane and to permit themselves a range of motion in the cockpit. As with the original, ours features a survival whistle and epaulets for parachute straps, more a function of authentic fashion than necessity these days. Also features snap-closure flap pockets with side-entry hand warmers. Acetate lined. Elastic waist and sleeve cuffs, and underarm grommets. In cognac. Professional leather clean. Imported.
Sizes: S(34-36), M(38-40), L(42-44), XL(46-48), XXL(50-52).
