  • Some jackets you buy. This one you earn. One scuff, one road trip, one cold morning at a time. The Legacy Leather Flight Jacket in whiskey is built from 100% drum-dyed and tanned full grain cow leather at a substantial 1.95 gm weight. That's thick enough to shrug off whatever the day throws at you, and the warm whiskey tone only deepens and develops character as it breaks in.

    At 0.75 to 0.85 mm thick, this hide hits the sweet spot. Heavy enough to feel like real leather, supple enough that you won't need months to break it in. The color shifts and lightens at the elbows, sleeves, and pressure points, developing a patina that's entirely yours. Two zippered chest pockets and two welted front pockets hold your wallet, keys, and phone without the bulk. Antique brass hardware runs every zipper. From the main closure to the adjustable sleeve cuffs.

    The jacket you'll still be wearing in ten years, in its warmer, more characterful color. Whiskey Brown develops a more visible patina than the Brown variant. The color shifts and lightens at the stress points faster, the creases tell your story sooner, and the brass hardware develops its own patina alongside the leather. This is the flight jacket that got the details right: zippered sleeve cuffs, chest pockets that actually hold things, and a fit that sharpens up with a button-down or goes casual over a t-shirt.

    Built Right

    100% Drum-Dyed Full Grain Cow Leather, Whiskey Tone

    Full-grain cowhide drum-dyed and tanned in a warm whiskey brown. Drum-dyeing means the dye penetrates the full thickness of the hide rather than sitting on the surface. The whiskey tone develops more visible patina than the Brown variant.

    Antique Brass Hardware Throughout

    Every zipper on the Legacy is antique brass. Front, chest pockets, sleeve cuffs. The brass contrasts handsomely against the warm whiskey tone.

    Two Zippered Chest Pockets, Two Welted Hand Pockets

    Functional pocket layout with zippered chest pockets for security and welted hand pockets for daily carry.

    Zippered Sleeve Cuffs

    Adjustable zippered cuffs at the wrists let you cinch tight against the cold or open up for comfort. A heritage flight jacket detail.

    Buffalo Jackson Legacy Print Lining

    The interior is lined with the proprietary Buffalo Jackson Legacy print. A small detail when the jacket is closed, an earned one when it comes off.

    Vintage-Inspired Flight Jacket Cut

    Sized on the small side intentionally. The cut is built around a vintage flight-jacket silhouette. Sizing up fits a base layer or sweater.

    Product FAQs

    How does the Legacy fit?

    Use the WaiR tool for a personalized recommendation. The Legacy fits trim, so size up one from your normal.

    What's the difference between Whiskey Brown and Brown?

    Same flight jacket cut, same construction, same hardware. Whiskey Brown is a warmer, lighter tone that develops a more visible patina at pressure points. Brown is a deeper, more uniform color that ages with subtlety. Whiskey is the more characterful pick; Brown the more universal.

    What style of jacket is this?

    The Legacy is a flight jacket (also called an aviator or bomber). It draws from the A-2 and G-1 military jacket designs with a leather collar, bi-swing back, and zippered chest pockets.

    How thick is the leather?

    The Legacy uses 100% drum-dyed full-grain cow leather at 0.75-0.85 mm thick. Substantial enough to shrug off scuffs but supple enough that you won't need months to break it in.

    Does the leather color change over time?

    Yes, more visibly than the Brown variant. The whiskey tone deepens and lightens at pressure points, creating a unique patina that reflects how you wear it.

    How do I care for it?

    Condition every 3 to 6 months with leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Spot clean only.

    Is the Legacy waterproof?

    No. The leather is naturally water-resistant and handles rain and snow flurries. In sustained rain, the leather absorbs water. Wipe dry with a clean cloth and air-dry away from heat.

    What's the warranty?

    A one year warranty covers stitching, hardware, and structural defects. Normal patina and wear marks are part of how the product is meant to age and are not defects.

  • How to Measure Yourself

    Shopping online, as most of us do nowadays, you’ll want to know your measurements to help ensure a great fit. The sketch below shows where to take measurements to compare to clothing you already own. Keep in mind, however, those measurements will only be helpful if taken correctly. Tip: don’t let the measuring tape hang loose when you’re measuring, but avoid pulling the tape excessively tight. Here’s how to get accurate measurements:

    Length: Measure from the bottom of the collar to the waist seam.

    Shoulders: Measure between the top of the sleeve seams.

    Chest: Measure the entire circumference of your chest. Begin with one end of the measuring tape 1 inch below the armhole at the fullest part of your chest. Then, keeping the tape level, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement.

    Sleeve: Accurately measuring sleeve length is tough to do yourself, so ask someone to help with this. Beginning with one end of the tape at the top of your arm, then down to your wrist. This entire length is your arm-length measurement.



    How should a leather jacket fit?

    Do the same rules apply to how a jacket should fit as to other jackets or outerwear? Not necessarily. Read on for details.

    Leather will stretch over time, so you never want to start with a leather jacket that is too big. But that doesn’t mean you want a jacket that’s too small! It’s also essential to allow room for layers under your leather jacket. Here are a few specific tips for finding a leather jacket that fits just right:

    Chest: Leather jackets ought to fit more snugly through the chest than a regular overcoat, but consider the types of layers you may want to wear underneath. If you live in a warm climate and will be layering over light clothing such as a dress shirt or t-shirt, we recommend adding 2-3 inches to your measured chest size. If you live in a colder climate and layering over heavier clothing such as sweaters, we recommend adding 3-4 inches to your chest size. If you land between sizes, we recommend sizing up to the next size available. Tip: you should be able to comfortably zip or button your leather jacket all the way up, even if you plan to wear it open.

    Shoulders: Suit coat rules do not apply to leather jackets, so it's okay if the shoulder comes down your arm a few inches. However, even though the leather will give over time if the shoulder seam is higher than your shoulder, the jacket is too small.

    Waist: The bottom of your leather jacket should not reach below the bottom of your belt/top of your thigh. This is likely shorter than other overcoats you've owned, but a leather jacket that hangs well below the belt is too big unless you're wearing a long leather trench coat.

    Sleeve Length: The proper sleeve length on a leather jacket is consistent with pretty much any jacket: sleeves should end at your wrist.
