Our WW1 Royal Flying Corps Leather Overcoat is a faithful reproduction of the long, heavy leather coats issued to aviators during the First World War. Designed to withstand the bitter cold of open cockpits at altitude, these coats became an essential part of the RFC officer’s kit.
Our WW1 Royal Flying Corp (RFC) Overcoat is crafted from thick, durable leather (you have the option of black/brown/vintage color), this overcoat features a double-breasted front with large buttons, wide lapels, and a belted waist for a secure fit. The long skirt length provided extra warmth and protection from wind, rain, and oil spray, while deep pockets allowed for storage of maps and essentials.
