- Premium leather;
- A removable sheepskin collar;
- Knitted cuffs and hem;
- Several embroidered military patches;
- A cut directly inspired by the G-1 worn by American pilots.
The manufacturer also states that this jacket pays tribute to US Navy aviators and incorporates certain historical elements, such as a patch commemorating the USS Galveston mission (1963-1964).
