An aviator’s jacket with a story to tell

The Canadian Aéronef Brown by Redskins isn’t just another leather jacket—it’s a tribute to the golden age of aviation, reimagined through a collaboration with the Patrouille de France. Crafted from full-grain calf leather with a deliberately aged finish, it balances rugged durability with a refined touch. The shearling collar, a hallmark of classic flight jackets, adds warmth and character, while the oversized cargo pockets nod to functional, military-inspired design. Weighing in at 2 kg, it’s substantial enough to feel like a statement piece, yet versatile enough for everyday wear.

A jacket built for those who appreciate the details

This isn’t a fleeting trend piece. The calf leather, known for its smooth grain and natural resilience, develops a richer patina over time, ensuring the jacket evolves with its owner. The regular fit—neither oversized nor slim—makes it adaptable for layering over jumpers in winter or wearing open over a T-shirt in milder weather. And while the Patrouille de France patch on the sleeve is a nod to its heritage, the jacket’s clean lines and understated elegance mean it won’t look out of place in urban settings or countryside adventures alike.

Redskins has been crafting leather jackets since 1984, drawing inspiration from the rebellious spirit of rock ’n’ roll and the timeless appeal of aviation and military styles. The brand’s expertise lies in blending traditional techniques with contemporary design, often collaborating with institutions like the Patrouille de France to create pieces that are as rich in history as they are in quality. Each jacket is a testament to their commitment to quality manufacturing, using premium leathers and attention to detail to ensure longevity and character.
