The Hangar Jacket in Espresso

The boxy, bulky cuts characteristic of vintage flight jackets certainly have their charms, but in our opinion, the silhouette was overdue for an update. The Hangar Jacket takes many of its design cues from the classics—note the articulated shoulders and storm flap along the front—but we’ve elevated it (get it?) with a modernized fit, some seriously rugged construction, and an exquisite Espresso leather finish. This one’s built to last for generations—be sure it sees plenty of action before you pass it on.

This 3-oz. Espresso leather boasts some incredible character and coloring that’ll become even more nuanced with age. We’ve insulated The Hangar Jacket’s torso with soft cotton twill for a little extra heft and equipped its sleeves with a smooth viscose lining for comfortable layering. For a streamlined finish, we’ve opted for hidden snaps on the dual-entry patch pockets and along the front. Looks pretty slick, if you ask us.
