aviator jacket

Leather flight garment

An aviator jacket is a leather jacket originally designed for pilots, typically featuring a sheepskin or shearling lining, large lapels, and a belted waist.

The style emerged from military flight gear meant to keep airmen warm in open cockpits: He wore a vintage aviator jacket with the fleece collar turned up.

Also called a bomber jacket or flight jacket.
