Spanish Air Force Flight Jacket

Spanish Air Force Issue

This is a navy blue flight jacket issued to Spain's Air Force, cut in the short blouson style with a gathered knit waistband that sits at the hip. It works as a light outer layer for cool days and has the clean lines of a uniform jacket, so it looks just as right over a sweater as over a shirt. Collectors of European military uniforms, reenactors and anyone after a plain, well-made navy jacket with real service provenance will find it a good fit.

Features

• Cotton And Wool Construction — The shell combines cotton and wool, so it breathes like cotton and carries some of wool's warmth.
• Navy Blue Air Force Color — The deep navy shade matches the Spanish Air Force's service uniform rather than a field camouflage.
• Concealed Front Placket — A fabric flap runs the length of the front and covers the closure, giving the jacket a flat, uncluttered face.
• Shoulder Epaulettes — Fabric straps across each shoulder are where rank slides were worn on the original uniform.
• Point Collar — A shirt-style collar lies flat at the neck and can be turned up against the wind.
• Ribbed Knit Waistband — The stretch knit band at the hem holds the jacket close at the waist and keeps drafts out.
• Angled Slash Pockets — Two hand pockets set into the front panels sit at a natural angle for warming your hands or carrying small items.
• Fitted Cuffs — Closed cuffs at the wrist finish the sleeves neatly and keep cold air from running up the arm.

Genuine Military Issue

Every jacket is authentic Spanish government stock, made to the military's own pattern for air force personnel, not a commercial version of it. The issue features are all there: the epaulettes, the concealed front and the knit waistband. For a uniform collection or a reenactment kit, that provenance is the point, and for everyday wear it means a jacket built to a service standard.
