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 beautiful flight jacket from Chapal is inspired by two legendary US military flight jackets: the A-2 and the G-1. The practical half-belted action back, in particular, is from the G-1. The extremely supple yet durable leather, on the other hand, is far superior to those originals, being from the choicest hide tanned by no other than the Chapal itself. The brass Riri zipper and studs are also on par in quality. The retail price of this jacket is 3900 Euros.

The Chapal original has a detachable mouton fur collar. However, this particular jacket for sale does not come with the collar.
