Avirex Icon Moss Green Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket

The Avirex Icon Jacket combines a military-inspired bomber shape with oversized American varsity artwork. Made from substantial 1.2mm European lambskin leather in moss green, it features a pointed leather collar, Avirex-branded zipper, embroidered chest crest, large AVIREX USA back appliqués, single-welt pockets and striped rib-knit cuffs and hem. The model is 6 feet tall and wears size Medium.

A Recognisable Avirex Bomber in Moss Green

More than 40 years of Avirex design influence can be seen in this moss-green Icon Jacket. Its short bomber shape, heritage patches and varsity-style striped trims create a jacket that feels connected to military outerwear while remaining easy to wear with modern streetwear.

The front keeps the branding relatively focused, with a shield-shaped Avirex crest on the wearer’s left chest. Turn the jacket around and its character changes completely. Oversized AVIREX lettering curves across the shoulders, a circular American shield emblem occupies the centre, and large USA letters complete the lower section.

This contrast between a clean front and an expressive back allows the jacket to work as everyday outerwear without losing the bold appearance expected from an Avirex Icon design.

1.2mm European Lambskin Leather

The jacket is made from 1.2mm European lambskin, which is a form of sheepskin leather. Lambskin is generally selected for its smoother surface and more flexible handle, but the specified 1.2mm thickness gives this jacket greater substance than a lightweight fashion lambskin garment.

This balance is particularly suitable for a bomber jacket. The leather has enough body to support the large back artwork and structured collar while remaining flexible around the shoulders, elbows and waist.

The surface has a smooth antique-style finish rather than a heavily textured grain. Genuine leather may show small differences in grain and tone because it is a natural material.

Moss-Green Colour

The product gallery shows a medium moss or olive-green colour. It is brighter than military khaki but more muted than emerald or racing green, making it easier to combine with black, cream, grey and neutral clothing.

Black lettering on the back provides strong contrast, while cream borders connect the artwork with the white stripes in the cuffs and waistband. Red, white and blue embroidery introduces additional colour through the chest and back crests.

Actual colour may differ slightly according to lighting and screen settings.

The Jacket from Front to Back

Front

The front has a full-length centre zipper with Avirex-branded hardware. A leather shield-shaped pull is attached to the zipper, adding a small branded detail close to the collar.

An embroidered American shield crest is positioned on the wearer’s left chest. The design contains Avirex lettering, stars and stripes, and established-1975 detailing.

Two slanted single-welt pockets sit at the lower front. Narrow leather edges keep the openings neat and avoid interrupting the smooth body panels.

Back

Large black AVIREX letters with light-coloured borders curve across the shoulder area. A circular “All Americans” shield emblem is positioned beneath them, followed by oversized USA lettering.

The back artwork appears to combine appliqué construction with embroidered detailing. Visible border stitching secures the letters and helps define them against the green leather.

A smaller tonal shield emblem is placed at the centre back of the collar.

Sleeves

The sleeves have a panelled construction with long seams following the outer arm. Additional shaping is visible around the shoulder and upper sleeve.

The shoulder seams have a raglan-like angle, running from the collar area towards the sleeve rather than using a sharply squared conventional shoulder. This contributes to the jacket’s relaxed bomber fit.

Collar

A pointed turn-down leather collar replaces the knitted collar used on many traditional bombers. Tonal topstitching follows its outer edge, helping the collar retain its shape.

The leather collar gives the jacket a cleaner and slightly more structured appearance while maintaining the short bomber body.

Cuffs and Hem

The cuffs and waistband are made from rib-knit fabric with green, white and dark striped detailing. The elastic ribbing draws the sleeves in at the wrists and helps form the rounded waist-length bomber silhouette.

The white stripes also provide visual separation between the green leather and the wearer’s trousers.

Panel and Stitching Details

The gallery shows a multi-panel construction designed to shape the 1.2mm leather without making the body look bulky.

A vertical seam runs down the centre back through the surrounding artwork. A horizontal seam crosses the lower back above the ribbed waistband. These divisions create a stable surface for the appliqués and help control the shape of the leather.

Tonal topstitching is visible around:

• The collar edges

• Centre front zipper

• Shoulder and sleeve panels

• Welt pocket openings

• Centre back seam

• Lower back panel

• Cuff and waistband joins

The green thread closely matches the leather, allowing the black and cream back branding to remain the main visual detail.

Fit and Sizing

The Avirex Icon Jacket has a regular bomber shape with a comfortable amount of room through the chest, shoulders and sleeves. Its ribbed waistband sits around the waist, while the leather body has a slightly rounded profile.

The model is 6 feet tall and wears size Medium. Customers wanting the intended regular fit should begin with their usual size and compare their body measurements with the Leather Wear UK size guide.

If you plan to wear the jacket over a heavy sweatshirt or prefer a loose streetwear fit, consider sizing up after checking the chest, shoulder, sleeve and jacket-length measurements. Do not select a larger size based only on height, because chest and shoulder measurements have a greater effect on the fit.

How to Wear the Moss-Green Icon Jacket

Black trousers or joggers create the strongest contrast with the moss-green leather and repeat the black detailing used on the back. A plain black or white T-shirt keeps attention on the jacket.

Grey sweatpants produce a softer casual combination, while dark denim gives the jacket a more traditional workwear influence. Cream trousers can also work well because they connect with the pale borders around the lettering and the white stripes in the ribbed trims.

For footwear, choose simple black or white trainers, or wear dark leather boots for a more structured outfit.

Customers comparing similar short leather silhouettes can also browse the men’s leather bomber jacket collection. For a darker alternative, view the black Avirex Iconic jacket or the grey Avirex Iconic leather jacket.

Suitable Weather

The 1.2mm leather provides a substantial outer layer for mild and cool conditions. Actual warmth will depend on the lining, fit and clothing worn underneath.

The jacket should not be advertised as waterproof or completely windproof unless those properties have been tested. Genuine sheepskin leather can be affected by prolonged rain, even when the surface has a protective finish.

If it becomes damp, blot away moisture with a clean cloth and hang it in a ventilated room. Allow it to dry naturally and keep it away from radiators, direct heat and hairdryers.

Care Instructions

• Remove light dust with a soft, dry cloth.

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

• Avoid soaking the leather or wearing it in prolonged heavy rain.

• Do not use household detergents, alcohol wipes or cleaning solvents.

• Test any leather conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.

• Keep conditioners away from the embroidered patches and appliqués.

• Do not iron the chest crest, back artwork or rib-knit trims.

• Hang the jacket on a wide, supportive hanger.

• Store it in a cool, dry and ventilated space.

• Use a breathable garment cover instead of a sealed plastic bag.

• Keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight when not being worn.

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