Men's sheepskin bomber jacket from the COCKPIT'USA brand. We find the authentic RAF sheepskin bomber made in the United States, it is a regular fit. For the collar, you can wear it either as a shirt collar or as a standing collar with its buckle latch at the neck, it has a flange on the back of the collar. The bomber closes with a central zipper and has a belt at the waist with the "RAF" metal buckle. The bomber has 2 outside pockets and you will find 2 closures on the sleeves with leather yokes with eyelets under the arms. Inside, the jacket is entirely in sheep's wool (turned skin) and you will find 2 pockets. It takes a body length of 70 cm for a size L.
For the record, the bomber was designed for open cockpit fighters, this sheepskin flight jacket was originally designed for the Royal Air Force (R.A.F) in 1937 with very thick woolly skin. Proving too bulky for the narrow, enclosed cockpit of Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft, these pilots adapted their flight jackets to shear wool to allow greater freedom of movement.
