Redskins redefines the leather jacket with a modern twist on a classic silhouette

The BOWER3 AFRICAN NAVY is a refined take on the iconic A2 flight jacket, crafted from supple goatskin suede. This slim-fit design balances heritage and contemporary style, making it a versatile piece for those who appreciate both tradition and modern tailoring. The deep navy hue and velvety texture of the leather give it a distinctive character, while the ribbed cuffs, collar, and hem nod to the original A2 specifications. It’s a jacket that evolves with wear, developing a unique patina over time.

A jacket built for everyday elegance

Designed for a sleek, streamlined fit, the BOWER3 AFRICAN NAVY flatters without sacrificing comfort. The goatskin suede offers a lightweight yet durable feel, softer than traditional cowhide but just as resilient. The central metal zip closure ensures a secure fit, while the two side pockets and internal zipped pocket provide practical storage. The brand’s discreet logo, embroidered at the nape of the neck, adds a subtle touch of authenticity. Whether layered over a casual shirt or a tailored sweater, this jacket adapts effortlessly to different styles.

From military roots to modern wardrobes

The A2 jacket has a storied past, originally issued to US Army Air Corps pilots in the 1930s. Its design was engineered for functionality—ribbed knits at the cuffs and waist to retain heat, a snug fit to reduce wind resistance, and a durable exterior to withstand the rigours of flight. Redskins pays homage to this heritage while updating it for contemporary tastes. The African Navy colourway, a deep, muted blue, offers a fresh alternative to the classic brown or black, making it a standout piece in any wardrobe.

Redskins has been a staple in leather outerwear since 1984, blending quality manufacturing with a rebellious spirit. The brand draws inspiration from motorcycle culture, aviation history, and streetwear trends, creating jackets that are both timeless and modern. Known for their attention to detail and quality materials, Redskins pieces are designed to last, evolving with the wearer through years of use. Whether revisiting classic silhouettes or experimenting with new textures, the brand remains a reference for leather enthusiasts.
