A jacket style worn by pilots who first flew the 1929 Travelair 6000B, a wooden, fabric-covered single-prop plane first used to fly supplies to homesteaders and gold miners into the backcountry of Idaho's Selway-Bitterroot Mountains. Pilots chose the bush jacket to stave off the cold mountain air that seeped into the plane and to permit themselves a range of motion in the cockpit. We use French lamb for our bush flight jacket. Rugged and durable, it resists abrasion and develops a fine patina throughout the years. Jacket has snap closure flap pockets with side entry hand warmers and polyester lining with nylon-lined sleeves. Survival whistle and epaulets for parachute straps, more a function of authentic fashion than necessity these days. Jacket features elasticated waist, sleeve cuffs, and underarm grommets. Pilot jacket available in cognac. Jacket: 100% leather. Body lining: 100% polyester. Sleeve lining: 100% nylon. Professional leather clean.Jacket sizes: S(34-36), M(38-40), L(42-44), XL(46-48), XXL(50-52).
