Vintage Cirrus RAF Ground Crew Sheepskin Flying Jacket - Size XL (46)

Some jackets are merely owned—this one was relied upon. Made in the 1980s, this Cirrus RAF Ground Crew Sheepskin Flight Jacket is a rare piece of British aviation history. Engineered for the cold, unforgiving airfields of Britain, it carries the legacy of wartime flight gear, with a deep brown sheepskin exterior and plush honey-toned shearling lining that speaks to the craftsmanship and endurance of the RAF. Designed to keep ground crew warm in harsh conditions, it balances function with timeless style.

Practicality is embedded in every detail: the high wrap-around shearling collar provides warmth and protection against wind, while the reinforced leather trim ensures durability. The heavy-duty zipper and belted waist offer a secure, adjustable fit, while the two large front pockets provide convenient storage for essentials. The original WWII-style construction and design are preserved in this jacket, which has been exceptionally well-maintained through restoration.

This jacket has undergone a full professional restoration using specialist leather cleaning techniques tailored to heritage skins. The sheepskin has been cleaned and conditioned to preserve its integrity while maintaining its rich, soft texture. The zipper and all hardware have been refurbished for smooth operation. A discreet underarm patch repair has been expertly executed, preserving the jacket’s structure while remaining nearly invisible.
