Raider Flight Jacket Header

France has a long tradition of military aviation:  Replenishment balloons drifted over the Prussian lines during the Siege of Paris.  Nieuport fighters patrolled behind the trenches in World War I.  Free French Air Force pilots flew Spitfires in the Allied drive to liberate Paris in World War II.  Mirage F-1's supported coalition forces in Operation Desert Storm.

French pilots wear a dark blue-gray blouson style leather jacket with leather collar, cuffs, and waistband.

Raider Flight Jacket

The jacket's elasticized waistband adjusts with snaps. The removable mouton collar can be zipped on for warmth. A warm zip-out vest can be worn when the weather is cold. An orange emergency vest is stored inside a small pocket zipped into the lining. A leather tab holds the Officers rank badge.

You can keep your hands warm in the single-welt front pockets, secure your wallet in either of the two inside vertical-welt pockets, and keep your sunglasses in the zippered pocket set into the left sleeve. There is even a pencil pocket with FOD cover.

Gibson & Barnes makes the French Air Force jacket from large, grade-A, chrome tanned, hides. The lining is comfortable Dacron twill. Knit cuffs are set inside the sleeves to keep the wind out.

We make two versions of the French Air Force jacket:
Military Includes removable mouton collar, warm zip-out vest, and orange emergency vest in a zipper pocket sewn into the lining.
Civil Without the mouton collar, zip-out vest, or the emergency vest.
