Black J.Crew Limited-edition flight jacket in Italian leather | J.Crew Factory | QEUAD0178

Every vintage enthusiast has their own opinion on the...

definitive version of any given garment. That's why instead of trying to recreate a single style, we drew inspiration from a range of classic military-issued jackets (including the iconic A2). This premium leather comes from Italy's Conceria Montebello (est. 1967), a tannery renowned for its mastery of fine leathers and sustainable practices. Much like raw denim, the leather will start off on the more structured, stiffer side, and get softer the more you wear it. Over time, this jacket will take on your wear patterns and develop a patina that's unique to you—something that's best earned, not given. To round the jacket out, we added details like a brushed cotton lining, internal pockets and viscose-lined sleeves for easy wear.
