Made from real sheepskin, the Blenheim is a classic men's flying jacket with a Nappalan finish. It comes with a diagonal brass zip, two single welt angled pockets and has reinforced seams with plenty of top stitching, this adds to the strength of the seams.
What is a Nappalan / Aviator finish? The appearance is achieved in the same way the flying jackets used by the RAF were treated. It is a finish which is sprayed on the suede(living skin) to look like the upper dead layer of the skin(epidermis) because the wool grows from the leather side of the skin. This finish stops the skin marking as easily as suede. Modern tanning techniques mean you are still left with a lightweight product with a fabulous handle.
Please measure your chest or size over a shirt, we have already taken into account the thickness of the wool.
On a rare occasion, we may need to order directly from our supplier, in this event we will request for them to post it directly to you to avoid any delays with Postman Paul. If you would prefer for us to order it to our warehouse and then post it to you, please email to let us know as soon as your order is placed and we can help to arrange this with you.
