Founded in 1832, Chapal of Paris stands on 200 years of history, tradition and supreme French craftsmanship. As a leather, suede, shearling and fur specialist, Chapal offers superlative garments and accessories all handmade in France out of leather from Chapal’s very own tannery.

The A-1 jacket — an icon that manifests itself in many strands of histories: aviation, aerial warfare, postwar reconstruction, men’s style, and so on so forth. Chapal is among the few makers that contributed to the perfection of this jacket. Made from Chapal’s characteristic bullet-proof yet buttery soft sheepskin, the materials and craftsmanship are up to the most meticulous rigor as you would expect from one of the finest leather makers in the world.
