Flight jackets are a staple in many a man’s jacket collection and there is no rush in the classic demising any time soon. Originating from the military needing a jacket to keep their pilots warm during WWI when most airplanes did not have an enclosed cockpit, the flight jacket was born. Over the years the flight jacket has become a part of popular culture and appeal, filtering down from the sky onto the streets.

New for AW17, Norse Projects have taken the flight jacket and given it a modern take, making this a must have. Crafted from premium quality Italian suede and given no lining for a lightweight design while the classic flight collar has been kept in shearling for a warm addition. Other features of the jacket include 2 slanted pockets with shearling lining, Italian Riri zips to the front closure and designed to sit about the hip for modern stylish look.

The Norse Projects Elliot Shearling Flight Jacket is available online and in-store costing £1149.00
