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.
I already have a lot of articles from Goldtop so am fortunately aware of the high quality. This jacket ratchets everything up though, so warm, comfortable and stylish. The brassware and zips are faultless and substantial and the sheepskin shearling lining hugs you in a wonderful embrace. This obviously does not have armour fitted but so what, that is just a modern fad and can be solved by wearing an armoured undergarment if you so desire. I shall ride my motorbikes with just this jacket, the lining and outer leather shell will be more than I require in forms of protection. Truly a piece of clothing art.

Wanted one for many years , finally found this one at Goldtop. By far the best one I've come across! 10/10 for quality. 10/10 for fit. Well worth the money and the 2 hour drive down to the shop. The staff were very helpful.
Highly recommend this Jacket!

Impresionante chaqueta de cuero!
Impresionante chaqueta de cuero estilo RAF. Rematada con absoluto esmero, cuero de alta calidad. Caliente y actual. Tallan amplio, recomendada una talla inferior a la que os correspondería para un mayor ajuste al cuerpo. Me correspondía la 38” y cogí la 36” y perfecta

About bloody time!
I've waited for about a year for this jacket to be restocked. The quality is perfect and does not disappoint. This is my 3rd Goldtop jacket and I must admit as a Yank it is superior to my Schott jackets.
