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 Roadster is a classic civilian leather jacket model hailing from the 1950s. Heavily inspired by bomber jackets of WWII, the Roadster resembles its wartime cousins in the boxy and short cut, the generous action back, the bullet-proof construction, and the (here detachable) cozy shearling collar. On the other hand, details like the hand-warmer pockets make the jacket suitable for the road as well as the sky.
