The History Behind Flight Jackets (And Why It Matters)
The story of the flight jacket begins in the early 1900s, during World War I. Military aviators needed something rugged to withstand extreme conditions in open cockpits. Enter the leather flight jacket—built for warmth, durability, and movement.
By WWII, the jacket became iconic, especially with the introduction of the U.S. Army’s A-2 and the B-3 bomber jackets. These were crafted from high-grade leather and lined with shearling or wool for insulation.
Today, these jackets aren’t just military gear—they’re style symbols.
At Avanzar Leather, our designs are inspired by these classics while offering comfort and fit tailored to today’s man.
Who Should Wear a Flight Jacket?
