FiveStar Leather Repro R.A.F Bomber Sheepskin Flight Jacket With Side Entry Russet Reinforcements
Known as the 'RAF Jacket,' this design dates back to the early 1930s, created by Leslie Irvin and first produced in 1931. Officially sanctioned by the Air Ministry, it became the standard issue for RAF pilots by 1932. During WWII, various manufacturers produced it, leading to slight differences in materials and colors due to label removals and resource shortages. Our FiveStar Leather RAF Flying Jacket follows a late 1940/41 four-panel pattern, enhanced with two side entry pockets for modern functionality while preserving features like the original collar strap designed for open cockpit use. Crafted with heavy-duty zippers molded from authentic originals, die-cast brass buckles, and specially developed Russet Brown sheepskin reinforcements, this jacket delivers genuine details at an exceptional value.
