In 1940, RAF fighter pilots faced conditions few garments were designed to withstand. Flying in unpressurised cockpits at altitude, exposed to freezing air and long patrols over the Channel. Warmth was not comfort, it was survival.
The sheepskin flying jacket is one of the defining silhouettes of the Battle of Britain: practical, rugged, and unmistakably British.
Our interpretation honours that original purpose while refining construction for durability, everyday wear, and a touch of luxury.
Each jacket is made from 100% British sheepskin, selected for pile depth, strength, and natural beauty. The dark brown exterior leather is complimented by ginger shearling. An iconic combination: as seen on the originals as issued by the Royal Air Force during World War II.
A dual-panel back replaces the quartered wartime construction, increasing strength and longevity without altering the iconic silhouette. Reinforced belt loops, box-stitched straps, and double-thickness stress points result in a jacket that is built to last, maturing gracefully and bearing the marks of each adventure.
A solid brass buckle and keep adorn the double-thickness belt to secure the waistline of the jacket. Solid brass double D rings at the reinforced collar strap seal the collar around the wearer, should conditions become foul.
Premium polished zips from YKK ensure reliable and smooth operation for the lifetime of the garment - guaranteed.
There is no danger of getting cold in this jacket. I love the styling, it just looks classy and cool. Bought myself an armoured under jacket to wear for riding with it.

Flying Jacket.
I don't normally leave a review on any purchase, but this jacket deserves one.
I'd always wanted a WW2 era sheepskin jacket eventually and looked what was out there earlier this year.
There was plenty of choice around the £300 range, but reviews and pictures of them looked so-so.
The RAF Museum Shop has a Irvin design jacket which looked great, but nearly £1200.
I found a retailer with a jacket reduced from £550 down to just over £400, but when it arrived and I opened it, I felt underwhelmed as it looked no better than the cheap Infinity leather ones, So that was returned ASAP.
Fast forward a month and I randomly saw a Goldtop Ad, saw this jacket and it looked impressive for £599.
It turned up a couple of days later, and I'm not sure what magic they use on their boxes, as I had tad of disappointment as the box felt surprisingly light.
However once I took the jacket out it looked and felt amazing and hefty. So no idea how it felt lighter in the packaging?
It was a seriously huge upgrade on the cheaper one I'd returned!
It'd be interesting to know what the quality difference is between this Goldtop jacket and those costing nearly double, as it'll be hard to improve that much for twice the price.
