Their aircraft had open cockpits and no heating at all, so the jacket had to do everything: it is longer in the body than later flight jackets because a pilot sat exposed to the waist, the collar fastens high across the throat because there was no windscreen, and the \u003cstrong\u003ehalf belt at the back\u003c\/strong\u003e cinches the waist so the wind cannot get up inside. Those three details are the barnstormer signature, and every one of them is functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe half belt\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA strap sewn across the back at waist level, buckled or buttoned, which draws the jacket in behind while leaving the front loose. It is a neater solution than a full belt: no buckle at the front to press against you when seated, and the back panel keeps its shape rather than gathering. It also survives as a detail on modern town coats and shooting jackets for the same reasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes it wearable now\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe longer body and high collar make this the warmest of the classic flight jacket patterns and the most weather-capable. It reads more like a coat than a bomber, so it works over a jumper with wool trousers or jeans and looks correct in town in a way an A-2 does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStated plainly: this is a fashion jacket in a historical style. Not military issue, no insignia, no affiliation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing and made to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe barnstormer is cut generously to be worn over layers, so measure your chest over the jumper you expect to wear underneath. Sizes run XS to 5XL, with Custom taking chest, waist, shoulder, sleeve, and body length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShop Related Styles at Leather Outlet\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the aviator and pilot leather jackets, our men leather jackets, the leather trench coats selection, or B3 leather bomber jackets.
