This 1980s Kudsak bomber jacket captures the spirit of French leather craftsmanship at its finest — a garment built with precision, strength, and understated sophistication. Made from full-grain goatskin, it carries the distinctive pebbled texture and resilient suppleness that define this premium hide, developing a deep, natural patina over time that enhances its collectible appeal.
Cut in the classic aviator silhouette, the jacket blends function and elegance with a substantial weight and confident drape. Its surface displays a rich matte lustre, complemented by tonal stitching and a beautifully aged brass chest plaque engraved “Kudsak Best Safety Award.” A hallmark of Kudsak design, it reflects the industrial pride and artisan skill of France’s 1980s leather ateliers — part workwear heritage, part symbol of achievement.
Professional Restoration Process
This jacket has undergone a meticulous, multi-stage restoration carried out entirely in-house. It was specialist leather-cleaned using professional equipment to deeply cleanse and revive the goatskin while preserving its natural grain and patina. Our proprietary conditioning formulations were then applied to restore suppleness, depth, and strength throughout the hide. All seams, hardware, and linings were carefully inspected and treated for durability. The result is a beautifully preserved vintage jacket, refined for both collection and continued wear.
