Men's Aviator Leather Jackets

Why a Leather Aviator Jacket Does Not Have to Feel Too Boxy

A leather aviator jacket is a flight-inspired leather layer with a strong collar, front closure and snug cuffs or hem.

The boxy shape can make some shoppers wonder if an aviator style will feel too bulky. That is why this range gives you different fits and details, including a snug-fit option, so you can choose how much room you want.

Some leather jackets in this collection have shearling (faux) collars and lining for extra warmth and others come with viscose lining, shirt-style collars or rib-knitted trims.

So technically, you can choose any aviator jacket for men for everyday wear or cold-weather trips.

How Leather Aviator Jackets Are Made

The right outerwear is a combination of several details – material, style, cut and hardware. Here’s what goes into this wide range.

Sheepskin Leather

The leather used in these garments is real sheepskin in top-grain grade. This means the leather comes from the stronger outer part of the hide that offers natural strength.

Generally, men’s leather aviator jackets weigh around 3 to 5 pounds. The final weight can change with the cut, pockets, lining and extra details. 

Lining

Inside, you’ll have faux shearling for a cozy and warm feel in colder weather. Some clothing items come with viscose lining that’s soft and easy to slip on when the weather is cold.

Hardware & Stitching

You’ll find sturdy metal zippers, button closures, snap buttons and other fastening details depending on the style. Ribbed cuffs and hems help some mens aviator jackets stay closer to the body and block out drafts. Practical pockets are also reinforced with clean, secure stitching because these areas get regular use.

The result? You get a range of mens leather aviator jackets with different levels of softness, warmth, structure and functionality.

Aviator Jacket Styles to Match Your Look

This collection gives you more than one style to wear as an aviator. Let’s break down what you can have.

Men’s Black Aviator Jackets

Black aviators are easier to pair with jeans, chinos or darker outfits. These styles can have faux shearling collars, ribbed trims or simple zip fronts, so you can choose between a warmer or cleaner look.

Men’s Blue Aviator Jackets

The blue shade brings a fresh touch to the military-inspired jacket. Blue jacket just goes perfectly with casual attire such as denim, sneakers or boots. Is your wardrobe full of black and brown? Go blue.

Men’s Brown Aviator Leather Jackets

A men’s brown aviator jacket adds a warmer, more rugged feel. You will find flight-inspired details such as shearling collars, ribbed cuffs and zip fronts. Wear it with cream sweaters, blue jeans or brown boots.

Men’s Distressed Aviator Jackets

Want your outerwear to look like it already has some stories to tell? Choose a distressed jacket. Its worn-in finish elevates even the basic ensemble – denim and boots.

Men’s Green Aviator Jackets

Not many people realize how powerful a green jacket is until they own one. It adds a bold but earthy touch to the usual shape and works best with black jeans and beige chinos. 

Men’s Red Aviator Jackets

For a bold and strong vibe, a red mens leather aviator jacket is the answer. Keep the rest of your outfit simple with a black tee, black jeans and dark boots. 

The Right Fit

Most aviator leather jacket mens styles in this collection are true to size, so start with your usual size. However, the cut can change how it feels on your body. Some styles sit closer at the shoulders; others are intentionally designed to provide a little extra space.

Before ordering a jacket, measure your chest, shoulders, sleeve length and back length with the size chart provided. For example, a medium is made for a 40-41-inch chest, an 18.5-inch shoulder measurement and a 26.5-inch sleeve.

Outerwear should let you move your arms without pulling at the shoulders. Sleeves should reach the wrist and the hem should sit naturally based on the style.

You can size up if you are between sizes or want extra space for a thick sweater or another heavy layer.

If you need a more personal fit, custom sizing is available. You can let us know your requirements and we’ll have it prepared and have it prepared and delivered within 2-6 weeks, depending on the detailing and work involved.

FAQs

How should an aviator jacket fit?

An aviator jacket should neither be too tight nor too loose. It must have enough room across the shoulders and chest for comfortable movement and winter layers. Plus, the sleeves are supposed to end at the wrist and the hem should sit neatly around the waist or hips.

Is an aviator jacket good for very cold seasons?

Yes, an aviator jacket is a strong choice for extreme winter because its design is made for cold-weather layering. A warm lining, high collar, fitted cuffs and secure front closure can help keep cold air out. Choose one with fur collars for extra warmth.

What makes an aviator jacket different from a bomber jacket?

A bomber jacket is usually simpler, with a ribbed collar, cuffs and hem. On the other hand, an aviator jacket usually has more details, including a wide collar, fur or shearling-style lining, a sturdy front closure and a structured shape. Although both can be short, their details give them different looks.

Are aviator jackets warm enough without a thick sweater?

Yes, a lined aviator jacket can be warm enough on its own in mild to moderate cold weather. The collar, cuffs, lining and closed front help hold warmth around the body. You can add a sweater or hoodie underneath if the jacket has enough room for an extra layer.

Where can I get a custom leather jacket?

You can get a custom leather jacket from The Leather City at an affordable price. These orders usually take about 2-6 weeks, as it depends on the detailing, work involved, weather and season. Check the size chart first and provide accurate measurements for a better fit.

How do I care for an aviator jacket?

Wipe the dust and dirt using a soft cloth or leather brush after wearing. Use leather cleaner and avoid strong heat, harsh cleaners and rough washing methods. Hang the jacket on a wide hanger instead of folding it.
