An aviator jacket that marries heritage with modern versatility

The JAEGGER ALPHA BROWN from Redskins isn’t just another leather jacket—it’s a tribute to the golden age of aviation, reimagined for today’s wardrobe. Crafted from full-grain lambskin, this piece balances the rugged charm of a classic aviator with the refined details of contemporary outerwear. The rich brown hue and glossy finish give it an instantly recognisable presence, while the removable quilted lining ensures it adapts seamlessly from autumn crispness to winter chill. At 2 kg, it’s substantial enough to feel like a statement piece, yet light enough for all-day wear.

A design rooted in aviation history, with a nod to the Patrouille de France

Inspired by the iconic silhouettes worn by pilots in the mid-20th century, the JAEGGER ALPHA BROWN channels the spirit of the Patrouille de France, France’s aerobatic demonstration team. The removable shoulder badge—a subtle yet meaningful detail—pays homage to this legacy, while the functional elements, like the zippered expansion gussets at the wrists and hem, echo the practicality of vintage flight jackets. The shirt-style collar, a hallmark of aviator design, adds a touch of sophistication, bridging the gap between military utility and everyday style.

Built for movement, comfort, and durability

The lambskin used here is thick yet supple, offering a balance of structure and flexibility that moulds to the body over time. Unlike stiffer leathers, it moves with you, making it ideal for urban commutes or weekend adventures. The regular fit ensures it flatters a range of body types, while the quilted polyester lining provides warmth without bulk. Inside, the jacket is as practical as it is stylish: two zippered pockets secure valuables, while the chest pocket and hand-warmer pockets offer easy access. The left shoulder even features a dedicated "pilot’s pocket," a nod to its aviation roots.

A jacket that evolves with you

One of the most compelling aspects of lambskin is how it ages. Over time, the leather will develop a unique patina, darkening in areas of frequent contact and softening with wear. This natural evolution means the JAEGGER ALPHA BROWN becomes more personal the longer you own it. Whether paired with tailored trousers for a smart-casual look or layered over a hoodie for a streetwear edge, it’s a piece that effortlessly transitions between styles and seasons.

Redskins has been a staple in the leather jacket scene since 1973, when it was founded in France by a group of motorcycle enthusiasts. The brand quickly carved out a reputation for blending the rebellious spirit of biker culture with the precision of French quality manufacturing. Over the decades, Redskins has expanded its range to include aviator, bomber, and racer styles, always staying true to its roots in quality materials and timeless design. Today, the brand is celebrated for its ability to reinterpret classic silhouettes with modern sensibilities, making it a go-to for those who appreciate heritage without compromise.
