Avirex Jacket Collection

An Avirex jacket carries more than four decades of American leatherwear heritage — the same brand once known for military flight jackets became just as defining a name in varsity and letterman-style leather, worn across streetwear and hip-hop culture from the 1990s onward. Our Avirex-inspired collection focuses on that varsity legacy: leather bomber and letterman jackets finished with embroidered crests and patch detailing, in the classic black, white, and blue colourways the style is known for.

Varsity Leather, Built With the Details That Matter
The patchwork is the point here. The Avirex Jacket On Sale – Classic Avirex Varsity Black Jacket with Patch Detail leans into that fully, with layered patch detailing across the chest, while the White Avirex Varsity Bomber Jacket trades the darker palette for a cleaner white base with an embroidered crest as the focal point.

Bomber Cuts for a Simpler Look
Not every varsity fan wants the full patch treatment. The Men's Avirex Blue Jacket and the New Men's Aviex Jacket Classic Leather Bomber Jacket keep the varsity silhouette but drop the heavier patchwork for a plainer leather bomber that's easier to wear day-to-day.

Looking for the Classic A-2 or G-1 Flight Jacket?
Avirex's other defining legacy is the military-inspired flight jacket — snap collars, knit cuffs, the silhouette most people picture first when they hear the name. That's a different line from the varsity styles above, so if a genuine A-2 or G-1 cut is specifically what you're after, our vintage jackets collection carries A2 and G1-style bomber jackets built along those same lines.

Leather, Fit & Craftsmanship of avirex jacket


Every jacket here is built from genuine leather rather than a faux alternative, with the same construction standards applied across the site — worth a look at our craftsmanship page if that's part of your decision. Varsity jackets tend to run close to the body through the shoulders, so check the size guide before ordering if you're between sizes.

Styling a Varsity Leather Jacket
The varsity silhouette has moved a long way from the football field, and pairs as easily with jeans and trainers as with tailored trousers for something sharper. Our guide on what makes a bomber jacket work covers styling ideas beyond the obvious that apply just as well here.

Frequently asked questions


Yes — Avirex was founded in 1975 and built its early reputation supplying flight jackets, later becoming equally known for varsity and letterman-style leather jackets in streetwear culture through the 1990s and beyond. It's now operated under Cockpit USA.


Both, historically — the brand's two most recognisable lines are the military-style A-2 and G-1 flight jacket and the patch-and-crest varsity leather jacket popularised in streetwear. They're distinct silhouettes built for different looks, not variations on the same jacket.


Genuine leather Avirex-style jackets should be described clearly as such on the specific product listing — leather weight and finish vary by style, so it's worth checking the individual product page rather than assuming from the collection description alone.


Varsity-style jackets typically sit closer to the body through the shoulders and chest than a looser bomber, since the silhouette is meant to look structured rather than relaxed. If you're layering a hoodie or heavy knitwear underneath, it's worth sizing up rather than buying true to size.


A varsity jacket typically features contrast ribbed trims, patch or crest detailing, and a letterman-inspired design, while a plain bomber keeps the same ribbed hem and collar without the heavier patchwork — a cleaner, more minimal take on the same silhouette.
