184SM

Most early flight jackets made were meant to keep pilots warm in unheated cabins. We added the 184SM to the line in 1977 to provide style to the civilian market based on the originals, but with added function and comfort.

The leather boasts a naturally tight open pore structure that ensures a softer touch and superior comfort. Its weight and warmth are on par with deluxe heavy steerhide. The full aniline, drum dyed process preserves the leather’s texture, enhancing its natural grain with a subtle, semi-matte finish. It is then vacuum dried (instead of toggle dried) that leads to a slightly stiffer result as the fibers are not stretched and softened. The leather is designed to age gracefully and expand its characteristics over time. Stiffness: Medium Weight: 3-3.5oz
