Avirex Icon Jacket - Avirex Yellow Jacket

Avirex Icon Yellow Lamb Leather Bomber Jacket

More than four decades of Avirex heritage are represented in this bright yellow leather bomber jacket. Made from 100% antique-finish European lamb leather, it features a pointed leather collar, branded front zipper, striped rib-knit cuffs and hem, slanted welt pockets and prominent Avirex artwork across the chest, collar and back. Its waist-length shape combines the structure of a military bomber with the bold character of a varsity jacket.

An Avirex Icon in Statement Yellow

The Avirex Icon Yellow Jacket takes the familiar military bomber silhouette and gives it an unmistakable streetwear identity. Its saturated yellow colour immediately catches the eye, while black, cream, red, white and blue branding creates strong contrast without overwhelming the leather.

Made from 100% European lamb leather with an antique-style finish, the jacket is designed to feel softer and more flexible than a comparable cowhide bomber. Lamb leather also allows the large body and sleeve panels to sit naturally around the wearer while retaining the short, structured outline associated with an Avirex bomber.

The design reflects more than 40 years of Avirex influence. Military-inspired construction, American varsity graphics and an aviation-led bomber shape are brought together in one distinctive jacket. Explore more colourways and branded designs in our Avirex jacket collection.

Branding on the Front, Collar and Back

The front is deliberately restrained compared with the back. A shield-shaped Avirex USA crest is positioned on the wearer’s left chest, adding red, white and blue embroidery against the yellow leather. The patch includes established-1975 detailing that connects the jacket to the brand’s heritage.

A small tonal shield emblem is positioned at the back of the collar. Because it is worked in a similar yellow shade to the leather, it is less prominent than the main graphics but adds a considered branded finish.

The back carries the jacket’s defining artwork. Large black “AVIREX” lettering curves across the shoulders, while matching “USA” lettering sits below the central crest. Light-coloured borders around the letters help separate them from the yellow background. The circular central patch completes the composition with an American shield graphic and heritage-inspired embroidery.

This large rear artwork gives the jacket a different appearance from every angle: relatively clean from the front and intentionally bold from the back.

Antique European Lamb Leather

European lamb leather is known for its soft hand, flexibility and comparatively lightweight feel. It is generally more supple than cowhide, making it well suited to a bomber jacket that needs to move comfortably through the shoulders and sleeves.

The antique finish gives the leather a less artificial appearance than an entirely flat, high-gloss surface. Small variations in tone and grain may be visible because genuine leather is a natural material. These variations should not be confused with defects.

The supplied material information does not specify an exact leather thickness or finished jacket weight, so these measurements should not be estimated in the product listing. Final weight will also vary according to size.

Collar Style

The jacket uses a full leather turn-down collar rather than the rib-knit collar found on many conventional bombers. Its softly pointed shape gives the jacket a cleaner, more structured neckline while keeping the military and varsity influences visible.

Tonal topstitching follows the collar edge, helping it maintain its shape. A small shield detail at the centre back adds branding without interrupting the yellow colour.

Panel Construction and Stitching

The gallery shows a panelled bomber construction shaped around the shoulders, sleeves and back. Raglan-style shoulder seams run from the collar area towards the underarm, allowing the sleeves to follow the shoulder line without a conventional straight shoulder seam.

A vertical centre seam divides the back, while a horizontal seam runs across the lower back above the ribbed waistband. These panels help control the shape of the lamb leather and provide a stable surface for the oversized rear artwork.

Additional seams are visible along the sleeves and around the elbow area. Tonal topstitching traces the collar, shoulder, sleeve, pocket and body panels. Because the thread closely matches the yellow leather, the stitching supports the construction without competing with the patches and appliqué lettering.

Avirex Front Zipper

A full-length centre zipper provides the main closure. The zipper uses Avirex-branded hardware, including a decorative pull that is visible below the collar.

The zip extends to the base of the leather body, meeting the rib-knit waistband. This creates the neat, straight front associated with a classic bomber jacket.

Welt Pocket Design

Two slanted single-welt pockets are positioned at the lower front. Their narrow leather edges maintain a clean appearance and make the openings easy to reach while the jacket is being worn.

The supplied information confirms the exterior welt pockets but does not state whether interior pockets are included. Interior storage should therefore only be added to the specifications if it has been verified separately.

Striped Rib-Knit Cuffs and Hem

The cuffs and waistband use substantial rib-knit fabric rather than leather. Yellow and white horizontal stripes create a classic varsity-style finish and visually separate the yellow leather from the rest of the outfit.

The ribbed cuffs sit securely around the wrists, while the waistband draws the jacket inward at the natural hem. This produces the slightly rounded bomber profile visible in the product images.

A small branded detail is also visible near the lower front hem.

Fit and Length

The jacket has a waist-length bomber cut with a comfortable, regular shape through the body. The shoulders and sleeves appear relaxed enough for natural movement without creating an excessively oversized silhouette.

The model shown is 6 feet tall and wears size Medium. This is a useful visual reference, but customers should still compare their chest, shoulder, sleeve and jacket-length measurements with the Leather Wear UK size guide.

Choose your normal size for a regular bomber fit. Customers who prefer a looser streetwear shape or want to wear a thick sweatshirt underneath may consider sizing up after checking the garment measurements.

How to Style the Yellow Avirex Jacket

Yellow is a strong colour, so this jacket works best when the rest of the outfit gives it space. Grey joggers, as shown in the product photography, create a relaxed streetwear combination. Black jeans and a plain white T-shirt offer a sharper alternative, while dark indigo denim introduces a more traditional American workwear influence.

White trainers can pick up the stripes in the cuffs and waistband. Black footwear connects with the rear lettering and gives the outfit more contrast.

The jacket can also be worn with neutral sweatshirts in white, grey, black or cream. Avoid covering the collar with an oversized hood if you want the leather neckline and chest crest to remain visible.

For alternative versions of the short leather silhouette, browse our men’s leather bomber jackets. Customers who prefer a darker Avirex design can compare it with the black Avirex Iconic jacket or the grey Avirex Iconic leather jacket.

Weather and Everyday Use

Lamb leather provides a useful outer layer in mild and cool weather, but the exact warmth of this jacket cannot be confirmed without verified lining information. In colder conditions, wear it over a sweatshirt or lightweight knit, provided the selected size allows enough room.

The jacket should not be described as waterproof or fully windproof. Genuine lamb leather can tolerate brief contact with light moisture, but prolonged rain may affect its colour, texture and shape.

If the jacket becomes damp, blot the surface with a clean cloth and allow it to dry naturally on a broad hanger. Do not place it near a radiator or use a hairdryer.

Leather Care

• Wipe light surface dust away with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not machine wash, tumble-dry or soak the jacket.

• Keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight when storing it.

• Use a wide, shaped hanger to support the shoulders.

• Store it in a breathable garment cover rather than a sealed plastic bag.

• Avoid folding the jacket beneath heavy clothing.

• Keep perfume, hairspray and alcohol-based cleaners away from the leather.

• Do not apply an untested conditioner to the yellow surface.

• Test any specialist leather-care product on a hidden area first.

• Use a professional leather cleaner for stains or deep cleaning.

• Avoid ironing the patches, appliqué lettering and rib-knit trims.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the jacket bright yellow?

Yes. The product images show a strong golden-yellow colour. The exact shade may appear slightly different depending on screen settings and lighting.

What type of collar does it have?

It has a softly pointed, turn-down leather collar. This gives it a more structured neckline than a bomber jacket with a rib-knit collar.

What branding appears on the front?

An embroidered Avirex USA shield crest is positioned on the wearer’s left chest. The jacket also uses branded zipper hardware.

What is shown on the back?

The back features oversized black AVIREX and USA lettering with light borders. A circular American heritage-style crest is positioned between the two lines of lettering.

Does it have interior pockets?

Interior pockets are not confirmed in the supplied information or visible gallery images. They should not be promised unless verified separately.

What type of stitching is visible?

The jacket uses tonal topstitching around the leather collar, raglan-style shoulders, body panels, sleeves and pocket openings. The matching thread allows the branding to remain the main visual feature.

What are the cuffs and hem made from?

The cuffs and waistband are made from rib-knit fabric with yellow and white stripes. The ribbing helps hold the bomber shape around the wrists and waist.

Is the jacket waterproof?

No waterproof rating has been provided. Genuine lamb leather should be protected from heavy rain and should not be soaked.

Is the jacket windproof?
