PITTI UOMO – JUNE 2025 – THE FLIGHT JACKET AND ITS EVOLUTION

For Men’s Fashion Week, CHAPAL has put the spotlight on its iconic Flight Jacket, a true masterpiece of the brand’s aeronautical heritage. It was showcased in all its versions, combining historical richness and contemporary reinterpretation.

As a symbol of Maison’s deep-rooted connection with the world of aviation,
CHAPAL paid tribute to this piece through several legendary models: the A2, the G1, and the USAAF
— a symbiosis of the jackets worn by US Air Force and US Navy pilots during the World War II.

These pieces were originally designed to meet the demands of extreme flight conditions. CHAPAL has made them evolve
over the years, according to fashion standards, while preserving their historic aura.

The House has explored the evolution of these icons through exclusive versions ;
hand-painted, without rib, or with different materials such as wool or denim.

Some exclusive pieces are sublimated with Ascot’s Father or Hudson Blue silk lining, for an even more elegant and luxurious version.

The Brooklyn and Vegetal collections completed this exclusive selection,
embodying a modern interpretation of the classic aviator jacket.

The Flight Jacket over time: a loyalty for heritage combined with unique creativity
for pieces that are both timeless and undeniably contemporary.
