An Armée de l'Air flight jacket in dark olive-grey leather, built for cockpit and flight line wear in cold weather.

Full length two-way front zip, two flapped lower pockets closed on steel press studs, and a deep shearling collar in dark brown that stands up against the wind. Raglan sleeves, each finished with a zipped cuff gusset so the sleeve opens out over a glove. A white rectangular name panel is stitched above the left chest and a leather unit tab above the right. The leather has gone matte and chalky across the shoulders and front panel, where years of wear have lifted the finish.

Measurements, label and date to be taken from the garment in hand.
