"King of Winter!"
Here's one for the most serious collectors of military-inspired heritage wear! Inspired by classic flight jackets from the 1930s, Freewheelers has produced this luxury winter Aviator's jacket, honouring the designs of the past while putting their modern spin on it!
The shell of this jacket is constructed with FW's specially developed heavyweight jungle cloth made from 100% cotton. Slowly woven using vintage machines, this ultra-dense fabric has an incredible subtly uneven texture, designed to be ultra-durable even after many years of wear. The surface is treated with a waxy paraffin finish, which provides water resistance and a windproof seal. The yarn-dyed colourway will gradually reveal a soft contrast with time, even more exaggerated than those vintage photos you see of pilots in the 1930s!
The inner lining is another step above the standard. Made using 100% Peruvian alpaca wool, the body, sleeves, and collar lining are soft like cashmere and gentle on your skin without the typical irritation from other brands. They've also reinforced this lining with heavy cotton flannel interlining for increased warmth and durability.
Constructed with a double-fastened asymmetrical storm flap, you'll always control your body temp with the polished and engraved nut buttons and vintage Waldes style zip. The cuffs can be turned up to reveal the alpaca lining for that classic look! With two buttoned and expandible waist pockets and one large zipped game-style pocket on the back, this jacket has plenty of storage space for your daily needs! With waist adjusters on the sides and a chin strap collar, you can always customise the fit to your needs! Flip up the collar for a classic aviator look with the 'V' stitching details.
