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.

This compelling jacket is modeled after the classical cold-weather flight jacket of the Royal Air Force during World War II, itself a close cousin of the celebrated American B-3. The jacket is built with twenty panels of premium shearling. Despite the thickness, the soft and silky wool face gives the garment a heartwarming comfort and an ease of movement. The varnished finishing makes this jacket completely water and windproof.
