There can be few jackets where such a functional garment possesses the enduring appeal that the aviator jacket does. What started as an aviator’s better in the cold and snow in bare open cockpit biplanes or flying in frozen arctic regions has evolved into one of many iconic menswear pieces. While providing maximum insulation from the cold’s worst excesses thanks to its thick, often shearling-lined collar, the slim cut of the aviator jacket, and the robust, hard-wearing leather or faux leather materials tell the world that business remains very much as it was when these jackets first flew; efficient, practical, and distinctly stylish.

That is why the element of the men’s aviator jacket disk is so brilliant. This long-sleeved shirt should be worn with jeans and a v-neck t-shirt for a casual look or with a formal shirt and black pants adding a bit of rebel to your formal look. Modern aviator jackets are made of different types of materials starting from leather and ending up with faux leather and even nylon for vegan customers.
