FLAVOR Men's Leather Flight Bomber Jacket Air Force Aviator

Exactly the jacket I was looking for, and hoped it would be. It is nicer than I expected; way surpassed my expectations. This was a scary purchase... there were no reviews yet, the images make the collar almost look too wide, and I really would like a removable fur color to use sometimes, as stated in the features list, but there is no image to see how it looks... that concerned me. Will a size large really be true to American sizes. The "Free Returns" gave me just enough comfort to go ahead and pull the trigger... wow... so happy that I did... Definitely a Keeper! If you like the collar as wide as shown you can have that, but the collar will also fold down to about half that width and stay put; I love the collar... it acts exactly like I want; stiff enough to stay right where I put it, to include the collar-back sticking up to keep the back of my neck warm. The way the button-on fake fur collar fastens onto the leather collar is perfect; I’ve never seen one fit this precisely and once it’s on, you wouldn’t know that it’s not the permanent collar. I can’t decide which looks better... fur, no fur, fur, no fur.... what to do. I have to say that the fur collar is not a quick-fix like one that goes on and off with snaps, but once it’s on it is a much more custom looking fit. The jacket couldn’t be more spot-on to what a size Large should fit like (I’m 6', 175 lb, wear 36" pants, medium 15 to 15-1/2 shirts with 34 sleeves, and size 42-44 suit/sport jacket depending on the brand), and I always wear a size Large jacket unless it’s intended to be worn over a bunch of other sweaters or other cloths to layer to stay warm (i.e. a big ol' authentic crew bomber jacket), then I go XL, but I’ll always wear this jacket underneath to make sure it’s protected (it’s that gorgeous). The size Large is a true American size Large. Pig skin can be too stiff, but it can also be too thin and flimsy. The skins can also vary from jacket to jacket within the same bunch, but I am happy to report that the jacket i received is just right... soooo soft and supple; it’s a lil' on the suede side as opposed to a smooth leather finish, but I’m still waffling between calling it suede or just a nice fancy smooth leather finish. Either way, I realllly like it. It is definitely the real deal though; this is pigskin with that really nice new leather smell. All the pockets are real, and sized and work correctly, except for the fake zipper pocket on the sleeve... it’s just a zipper; the zipper functions, but there’s no pocket... the pocket is only accessible from the top. Bummer I guess, but I no longer smoke, so I no longer have a need for a sleeve pocket; the pen/pencil slots on top of that sleeve pocket work fine though. The left inside pocket zips with a nylon zipper. I thought it odd at first and worried it’d scratch my phone if I put it there, but now I like it even better with the zipper. With the nylon, it does not scratch, and the thoughtful way it is sewn-in makes it so it doesn’t touch the phone as it slips in and out anyway. So using the zipper makes it impossible for my phone to accidentally fall out, plus the high quality of the zipper makes it function very smoothly so taking my phone out is just as easy as with no zipper. So, the zipper was a good idea, and I appreciate it being there as an extra safety feature for my phone. Looking the jacket over for loose threads and what-not reveals none (someone has already detailed the usual snags and loose threads), but I do notice the way the stitching is done and lil' details like how the zipper fits into it's lil' grove that appears custom-made just for it to sit in, the zippers, buttons, snaps, lining, even the thread all seem a-cut-above. The quality of workmanship is evident all over this jacket, and kudos deserve to be passed along to the seamstresses and cutters who produced this high-quality piece of clothing. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.

This jacket was a great buy. These pics are from one day after so the leather hasn’t had time to settle yet. The leather looks amazing and smells great. The inside of the coat also has a great design. The coat has a great structure and falls really nicely. Very worth it for the price.

I purchased XL. I am 6', 215 lb, big chested, a bit paunchy, and usually wear XL, sometimes L. This fit just like XL of other jackets in my closet, so no surprises, though I might have opted for L if I had two sizes in front of me. This XL is true and does not run small or short. But I am very pleased. It is pig leather, but seems as thick and durable as cowhide. It is made in China, if that is an issue, but there is no overwhelming smell as some have described, just the normal new leather scent which is pleasing. There is a very modest sheen and color is mostly milk chocolate with a darker spackling, giving it an even but worn appearance, just as depicted in photos, and I love that. It's true that the sleeve pocket has a zipper for appearance only, that adds to a nostalgic look. The cuffs and waist band, stitching, pockets and everything about this jacket is better than I'd expected. It is also warmer than expected. I only received this an hour ago but took a walk in near freezing temp, felt the give and sway, then inspected details, and I have been so pleased that I could not wait longer to review this Flavor jacket. This is a safe bet.

I was pleasantly surprised by this jacket. The leather seems to be good quality and the jacket is well put together. It was surprisingly comfortable to wear and easy to put on. It's a bit on the warmer side for leather jackets, but since I wanted it for wear during the winters in Indiana that's just what I was hoping for based on other reviews. I tend to prefer a fitted half-collar, like a letter jacket, but I knew the type of collar I was getting so it's fine. It comes with a fake fur piece for the collar that can be buttoned on - that additional piece, however, looks like an old piece of carpet and was so unappealing I never considered even trying it. The one glaring problem that this jacket has is the front pockets. There is very little material between the side entry pockets and the button-closure pockets on the front. They are not the same pocket, but there's just a thin piece of material between. If you have anything in the button-down pocket, you'll feel it when you put your hands in the side entry pockets. The side entry pockets are also too small. I have a stocking cap - not a big one - and I can't fit the whole thing in the side entry pockets. I was replacing a leather jacket that finally wore out after years of great service, and I would keep my stocking cap in one of the pockets so I'd have it with me when the temperature dropped - and I could still put my hand inside around the stocking cap if I needed to. Not so with this coat - the stocking cap sticks out of the pocket a little bit, and even when empty I can't fit my hand in the pocket without curling them up. Last, the side entry pockets are set just a little too far back for my taste. I feel like I have to reach back to my side to be able to access the side entry pockets, and if I want to put my hands in them to keep warm I have to keep my arms pulled back rather than in a natural, comfortable position. Other than the pockets I have been very impressed with this jacket. I've been wearing the jacket for almost 2 months, and I still enjoy how comfortable it is and still remark on how easy it is to put on. I can certainly recommend this jacket to others.

Color is just like the picture. Got this for my husband so that when we go out he has a nice jacket to wear. He loves it. and that's saying a lot. He's very picky. I got him the size Large. He said it fits perfectly and feels nice on. Nicely made and its light weight and soft. Not thick at all. will keep him warm for sure.

I've held off on writing a review for this jacket as I needed to see how it hold up to extended daily wear and the weather. I can say it has met or maybe even exceeded my expectations. Yes, it is real leather, but it is pig leather so the method of care is a bit different but it's a wonderfully supple material and the liner is well packed making this a delightfully warm jacket in the winter but not too hot in the spring or fall. The faux fur collar also does a good job of insulating the neck when applied, in fact I even had to take it off a few times because it did a bit too well. If I had one gripe it's the waist and wristbands are a bit loose but that's not a big enough detractors as they still don't allow any heat to escape or allow a draft into the sleeves and waist Overall a decent quality and well insulated reproduction of a vintage aviator jacket

Not a bad jacket but a little lesser quality than I expected. Will keep it but not the same quality as the one I am replacing. Leather is thin so probably not super durable.

This was a gift for my dad. He loves it! It's great quality, good weight, awesome color, cool sleeve pocket and very soft. Easy to zip. Came with an optional faux fur collar that buttons over the leather collar. Fits true to size. My dad is an XL at 5' 10" and it hit perfectly at the waist. However my brother tried it on (he's 6'2") and it was way too short. So that would be the only drawback I could think of. Also has really cool lining with an American flag print inside. Would buy again!

Exactly as described. It fits just right and looks great. It may be a tad thin for extreme cold climes. You may turn into a popsicle way up in the Canada North but you'll look great! So I bought a thin Hoodie as added warmth. So now this coat is multi seasonal. Fabulos coat.

Jacket came on time, good quality and warm. Looked and fitted as stated.

Beautiful jacket husband so pleased
