Heroic Jackets
Tales of heroes, adventurers and pioneers, together with their outstanding functionality, have made them what they are today: Icons. In the past, uniform jackets conveyed a sense of belonging, to an exclusive circle and one quickly stood out from civilians. The jackets not only radiated discipline and durability, but were built for the harshest conditions. All these factors still resonate today, making these garments timeless companions that can be absolutely relied on.
Designed for the cold at vertiginous heights, the B-3 flight jacket is the epitome of a bomber jacket. Made entirely of sheepskin and featuring the signature fur collar with two straps, the jacket reliably protects you from the icy cold. The luxurious jacket from Golden Goose is a modern and everyday conversion of the B-3. The sheepskin is extra soft, but not as thick as the authentic models, making it perfect for our winter climate.
The A-2 zippered flight jacket with leather collar was introduced in 1931 to replace the buttoned A-1 for U.S. Army Air Corps pilots. The masterpiece of design was used throughout the period of World War 2. Eastman's A-2 is an authentic reproduction made of horsehide leather with cotton lining. Thanks to the knit cuffs and concealed zipper, it is also suitable as a motorcycle jacket. With a Knox motorcycle jacket underneath, you are safe on the road.
Between World War 2 and the Korean War, the Jungle Cloth N-1 Deck Jacket was the uniform of the U.S. Navy ship's crew. The alpaca wool lining makes the jacket windproof and well insulated. The underarm vents, along with the wool, contribute to the optimal temperature balance. The design convinces with its simplicity and is still an excellent jacket for windy and cold conditions. Buzz Rickson's N-1 deck jacket is a detailed reproduction. Also available in Demotex moth-proof alpaca wool.
The focus on the military-inspired Ten c Sniper Parka is time-tested design and durability that is hard to find today. Ten c uses Original Japanese Jersey (OJJ-Fabric) for most of its garments. It is a Japanese-made, knitted material made of microfibers that adapts to the body as it is worn. The inner lining made of lambskin and down can be used as a stand-alone jacket. In combination with the parka you are optimally protected from cold and wet. An investment for life.
