This RAF Irvin Flying Jacket is a faithful reproduction of the sheepskin flight jacket worn by Royal Air Force pilots and bomber crews throughout World War II. Designed by Leslie Irvin in the late 1930s, it became standard issue for RAF airmen serving in Europe, ensuring warmth and protection at high altitudes.
The jacket is handmade from genuine sheepskin with full sheepshear lining, finished in chocolate brown leather with natural honey-colored fleece. It features a heavy-duty brass zipper, wide sheepskin collar with throat latch, stitched panel construction, and an adjustable leather waist belt. The turned-up cuffs and waist provide extra insulation, while the inside retains maximum warmth even in sub-zero conditions.
The Irvin jacket’s rugged design, warmth, and timeless look have made it a favorite among historians, collectors, and aviator enthusiasts worldwide.
