1980s | Avirex | Type G-2 Leather Flight Jacket | Brown - XXL

Description:

Item: Original 1980s Avirex Type G-2 leather flight jacket in deep brown. Classic aviator shape with a pointed collar, zip front, zipped handwarmer pockets, flapped lower pockets and knitted hem and cuffs. Strong boxy cut with the short, broad-shouldered silhouette that gives these old flight jackets their proper presence. The leather has developed exceptional wear and patina across the surface, which is a huge part of the appeal here.

Era: 1980s

Brand: Avirex

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Leather outer is beautifully aged with heavy patina, natural creasing and tonal variation throughout that give it exactly the right worn-in look. Knitted trims appear sound overall, and the jacket retains a strong shape. Honest use adds character in the best possible way and is exactly why a piece like this stands out.

Provenance Note: This is the sort of Avirex jacket people actually hunt for, not a flat, over-clean example, but one with real age written into it. The patina here gives the leather depth, movement and character that newer jackets simply cannot fake, while the G-2 shape keeps it rooted in classic American flight jacket design. A seriously strong 1980s piece with the kind of surface and presence that makes it far more compelling than an ordinary leather bomber.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, bulk, or layering.
