A-1 Bomber Jacket in Brown Color
A-1 Bomber Jacket
The defining feature of this A-1 Bomber Jacket is its button-front construction.
Unlike later flight jackets that rely primarily on a zipper closure, the A-1-inspired silhouette uses a row of buttons through the center front, giving the jacket a cleaner and more traditional aviation character. Combined with a rib-knit collar, cuffs and waistband, the design retains the compact proportions associated with early bomber-style outerwear while remaining practical for contemporary everyday wear.
Made from full-grain lambskin leather, this version adds a softer hand to the structured A-1 shape.
For buyers comparing other flight and bomber silhouettes, Ebon Saint's broader Leather Bomber Jackets collection includes different materials, closures and insulation levels.
1.3 mm Full-Grain Lambskin
The jacket is constructed from approximately 1.3 mm full-grain lambskin.
Lambskin is naturally more supple than many heavier hides, while the 1.3 mm specification gives this jacket enough substance to support its bomber shape without making the leather unnecessarily rigid.
The leather is vegetable tanned and has a soft temper, allowing the jacket to move comfortably while retaining the character expected from a vintage-inspired flight jacket.
Natural grain, small creases and subtle tonal variation can occur because genuine full-grain leather is not completely uniform.
Hand-Waxed Vintage Dark Brown Finish
The leather is finished in vintage dark brown with a smooth surface that is hand waxed.
The waxing adds depth and slightly uneven tonal character rather than creating a completely flat factory-black or polished finish.
This treatment is intended to support the jacket's heritage appearance while preserving the natural character of the lambskin.
Because the finish is applied for a vintage effect, slight differences in shading from one jacket to another should be expected rather than treated automatically as defects.
Seven-Button A-1 Front
The front uses seven regular buttons instead of a conventional bomber zipper.
This is one of the details that most clearly separates the A-1-inspired construction from later leather flight jackets.
The button front also gives the jacket a more relaxed visual character, working particularly well with knitwear, denim, chinos and other heritage-influenced casual clothing.
Two large outer flap patch pockets provide practical storage and reinforce the utilitarian appearance of the jacket. An additional inside pocket offers more discreet storage for smaller items.
Rib-Knit Collar, Cuffs and Waistband
The collar, cuffs and waistband use a polyester-cotton rib knit.
The ribbed collar is particularly important to the A-1 silhouette, creating a softer neckline than the point collars seen on many later flight jackets.
Matching rib-knit cuffs and waistband help control the jacket's shape at the wrists and waist, giving the body a compact bomber profile.
The jacket finishes at approximately waist length and uses a regular fit, preserving its classic proportions without moving into oversized styling.
Viscose-Lined Construction
A viscose lining provides a smooth interior that allows the jacket to move easily over shirts and light knitwear.
Construction uses approximately 7 stitches per inch, balancing visible stitching definition with the requirements of 1.3 mm lambskin.
At approximately 2 kg, the jacket has enough physical presence to feel substantial while remaining uninsulated.
That makes it suitable for all-season transitional wear depending on climate and layering, rather than positioning it as specialist cold-weather outerwear.

Available from S to 5XL, with custom sizing also offered.
