ESTIMATED RESTOCK DATE FOR OUT OF STOCK SIZES - OCTOBER 15TH
An inspired Maverick leather jacket as rugged and iconic as the battle-tested captains of the sky. Where classic aviator style meets first-class quality and design. Crafted with 100% full grain lambskin leather, our vintage brown leather bomber jacket features a zip closure, ribbed cuffs and waist, and a detachable sherpa collar to provide extra warmth and comfort for brisk nights on the town or chasing the horizon.
On the outside, right away you'll notice the buttery soft lambskin leather. From day one, it has that vintage, broken-in feel and that distressed brown leather look. Next you'll find perfectly placed hand pockets, and finally, that easy button on/off sherpa collar. Inside, you'll find interior chest pockets in the durable, quilted nylon lining. Through and through, you'll find that no element of function, comfort, or style has been overlooked in this classic brown leather bomber jacket.
Whether you're heading down the road or the runway, don't take off without the Maverick Leather Bomber Jacket.
The bomber jacket that arrives broken in. The distressed lambskin leather has a vintage, lived-in look from day one. No stiff break-in period, no waiting for character. The detachable sherpa collar gives you two looks in one jacket: collar up for warmth on cold nights, collar off for a cleaner silhouette. Ribbed cuffs and waist keep the cold out and the fit close. This is the jacket for the man who doesn't overthink what he's wearing but always looks like he did.

Full-Grain Lambskin Leather, Distressed Finish
Buttery soft lambskin with a vintage, broken-in feel from day one. The distressed brown finish is built into the leather, so it doesn't strip or wash out.
Detachable Sherpa Collar
Sherpa collar buttons on for cold-weather warmth and buttons off for a cleaner silhouette. Two looks in one jacket. The button system is hidden behind the collar so the jacket reads clean either way.
Aviator Heritage Silhouette
Cut in the lineage of classic G-1 and MA-1 aviator jackets. Waist-length, ribbed cuffs and waistband, full front zip.
Cotton/Nylon Ribbed Cuffs and Waistband
Heavyweight ribbed knit at the cuffs and hem locks heat in around the wrists and waist without looking like a separate component.
Quilted Nylon Interior
Slick, durable quilted nylon lining slides over a flannel or sweater. Easy to clean. Holds up to repeated zipping, layering, and stuffing in a duffle.
Twin Hand Pockets + Interior Chest Pocket
Two side entry hand pockets for daily carry plus a single interior chest pocket for a wallet, phone, or passport.
Product Guidance
| Best For |
The aviator-style enthusiast who wants the heritage silhouette.
The shoulder-season wearer. The detachable sherpa collar makes one jacket cover spring through late fall.
The first-leather-jacket buyer. The lambskin is forgiving and the silhouette is timeless.
The road tripper. Lambskin softens fast and the jacket packs flat. |
| Layering Guide |
Use the WaiR fit tool above for a personalized recommendation.
Sizing philosophy: Standard fit, classic aviator cut.
Between sizes: Size DOWN. The lambskin will soften and conform with wear.
Standard size: Fits a tee or henley underneath comfortably.
One size up (only for heavy layering): Adds room for a flannel or midweight sweater.
Sherpa collar on or off: The collar adds a half-inch of bulk at the neck. |
| Care |
Condition every 3 to 6 months. Lambskin is naturally soft and low-maintenance. Clean the sherpa collar separately with a damp cloth. |

Product FAQs
How does the Maverick fit?
Use the WaiR tool for a personalized recommendation. In between sizes? Size down. The lambskin leather is soft from day one and molds to your body quickly.
Is the sherpa collar removable?
Yes. It buttons on and off. Wear it up for extra warmth or remove it for a cleaner bomber silhouette.
What's the difference between the Maverick and the Legacy?
Different jacket styles. The Maverick is a classic bomber with ribbed cuffs, relaxed fit, and sherpa collar. The Legacy is a flight jacket with a leather collar, zippered chest pockets, and a slimmer, more tailored fit. The Maverick is more casual; the Legacy is more refined.
Is the distressed look on purpose?
Yes. The distressed finish gives the leather a vintage, broken-in look from the first wear. It's intentional, not a defect. The look deepens with wear.
How do I care for it?
Condition every 3 to 6 months. The lambskin is naturally soft and low-maintenance. Clean the sherpa collar separately with a damp cloth.
Will lambskin hold up to daily wear?
Yes, with reasonable care. Lambskin is softer than cowhide, which means it breaks in faster but also requires avoiding sharp objects and saddle soap. Conditioned twice a year, the Maverick will outlast most of what you wear daily.
Does the distressed brown finish fade or wash out?
The finish is built into the leather, not painted on. It does not strip or wash out. Pressure points (elbows, shoulders) develop natural fades that add character over time.
