Avirex Iconic Jacket

Avirex Iconic Black Lambskin Leather Jacket

The Avirex Iconic Jacket is made from 0.9mm European lambskin leather in an all-black finish. Its relaxed bomber profile is completed with a structured leather collar, metallic front zipper, satin lining and knitted rib cuffs and hem. Tonal Avirex branding appears on the chest and across the back, while the approximate 1.6kg weight gives the jacket a substantial but wearable feel.

The Iconic Avirex Look, Reworked in Tonal Black

This black Avirex Iconic Jacket is designed for people who want recognisable branding without a brightly coloured varsity-style finish. The lettering, embroidery, leather appliqué and stitching remain predominantly black, allowing the different textures to define the artwork.

The front is relatively understated, featuring a small tonal Avirex crest on the wearer’s left chest. The back provides the main visual statement, with oversized AVIREX lettering arranged around a circular crest and USA lettering positioned below.

It is a strong example of how a monochrome leather jacket can still carry detailed artwork. Explore other branded leather bombers and statement designs in our complete Avirex jackets collection.

Five Details That Define This Jacket

1. European Lambskin Leather

The outer shell is made from European lambskin leather with an approximate thickness of 0.9mm. Lambskin is valued for its smoother hand, finer grain and greater flexibility compared with many heavier bovine leathers.

At 0.9mm, the leather has enough substance to support the bomber shape and large back appliqué while remaining suitable for everyday movement. The gallery close-ups show a smooth black surface with a subtle natural grain rather than a heavily corrected or deeply textured finish.

Natural leather is not completely uniform. Small differences in grain, tone and texture can occur between panels and individual jackets. These variations are normal characteristics of real lambskin.

2. Tonal Avirex Branding

A compact embroidered crest sits on the left chest. Because the thread and leather are both black, the emblem becomes more visible when light catches its raised stitching.

The back carries a much larger arrangement:

• Oversized AVIREX leather appliqué across the shoulders

• A circular embroidered crest in the centre

• Separate USA lettering below the crest

• Smooth tonal leather letters against the fine-grain lambskin

• Close black stitching around every appliqué edge

The back lettering has a slightly glossier appearance than the main shell. This difference in finish creates contrast without adding another colour.

3. Structured Leather Collar

The jacket uses a pointed turn-down leather collar instead of a knitted bomber collar. Its clean edges and tonal stitching give the neckline a sharper, more structured appearance.

The collar can be worn flat for a traditional jacket profile or slightly raised for additional coverage around the neck. A small tonal emblem is also visible at the rear collar area in the gallery.

4. Metallic Front Zipper

A full-length metallic zipper runs through the centre front. The hardware has a dark finish that suits the all-black exterior, while the large branded-style pull is easier to grip than a small standard zipper tab.

A narrow leather facing runs beside the zipper, reinforcing the closure and helping the front retain a clean vertical line when worn open.

5. Knitted Rib Cuffs and Hem

Black knitted rib is used at the cuffs and around the lower waistband. These flexible sections allow the jacket to sit closer at the wrists and hips without making the leather body feel restrictive.

The ribbed waistband gives the garment its classic bomber profile. It also helps gather the slightly roomier leather body into a more defined lower edge.

Panel Construction and Stitching

The gallery shows a carefully divided panel structure rather than a single flat front and back.

Curved seams extend from the collar area towards the underarms, creating a raglan-influenced shoulder shape. This construction helps the sleeves fall naturally from the upper body and supports the jacket’s relaxed appearance.

At the back, the main details include:

• A vertical centre seam running through the back panel

• Curved shoulder seams framing the upper body

• A horizontal seam across the lower back

• A separate lower leather panel above the ribbed waistband

• Tonal edge stitching around the lettering and crest

The front chest panel is shaped around the shoulder seam and central zipper. Tonal stitching follows these lines without visually breaking up the black surface.

The close-up images show consistent, closely spaced stitching around the collar, shoulder panels and appliqué edges. The larger back artwork is attached using a mixture of leather appliqué stitching and dense embroidery.

Satin-Lined Interior

A smooth satin lining is used inside the jacket. This reduces friction when the jacket is pulled over shirts, sweatshirts and lightweight knitwear. It also covers the reverse side of the leather seams and embroidered artwork for a cleaner interior finish.

The precise fibre composition of the satin has not been supplied, so it is best described simply as a satin lining unless further fabric information is available.

The number and arrangement of internal pockets have also not been confirmed.

Shape and Fit

The gallery presents a relaxed bomber-style fit with generous sleeves, a roomy upper body and a ribbed hem that sits closer around the hips. It is not cut like a narrow biker jacket or a fitted leather blazer.

The slightly dropped, raglan-influenced shoulder line contributes to the relaxed shape. The sleeves have enough volume to gather naturally above the knitted cuffs, while the body finishes around the upper hip.

The approximate weight is 1.6kg. Actual weight can vary slightly according to size because larger jackets use more leather, lining, ribbing and appliqué material.

Sizes displayed on the product page run from XS through 5XL. Use our size guide and compare the following measurements before ordering:

• Chest circumference

• Shoulder width

• Sleeve length

• Jacket length

• Hip or waistband measurement

• The thickness of clothing you intend to wear underneath

Choose based on measurements for the intended fit. A closer size will preserve a cleaner bomber outline, while additional room may be useful if the jacket will regularly be worn over a sweatshirt.

How to Style the Black Avirex Iconic Jacket

The monochrome finish makes the jacket easier to coordinate than a multicoloured varsity piece. Its back branding already supplies the visual focus, so it works best with relatively simple clothing.

For an everyday streetwear outfit, wear it with a black T-shirt, straight-leg jeans and leather trainers. Black cargo trousers create a more contemporary all-black combination, while faded blue denim introduces contrast without competing with the branding.

It can also be styled with:

• A plain hoodie and relaxed trousers

• A fitted roll-neck and dark denim

• Black leather or coated trousers

• A white T-shirt and grey jeans

• A knitted sweater with neutral chinos

• High-top trainers or lace-up boots

Suitable Conditions

The 0.9mm lambskin exterior and satin lining make this an adaptable fashion jacket for dry, mild and cool weather. However, no tested temperature range has been supplied, and comfort will depend on the wearer, wind conditions and the clothing worn underneath.

No waterproof or windproof treatment has been confirmed. Although leather can offer limited resistance to light moisture, this jacket should not be worn deliberately in heavy rain.

It should also not be promoted as protective motorcycle equipment because no armour, abrasion rating or recognised motorcycle certification has been provided.

Caring for European Lambskin

Lambskin is softer than many heavier leathers and should be handled accordingly.

• Remove light dust with a clean, soft and dry cloth.

• Do not machine wash, soak, bleach or tumble dry.

• Keep the jacket away from prolonged rain.

• If it becomes damp, blot it gently without rubbing.

• Allow it to dry naturally at room temperature.

• Never place it beside a radiator, heater or direct flame.

• Store it on a wide, padded hanger.

• Avoid narrow wire hangers that can distort the shoulders.

• Do not fold it for extended periods.

• Keep it in a breathable garment cover rather than an airtight plastic bag.

• Avoid applying conditioner directly over embroidered or appliqué artwork.

• Test any leather product on a concealed area first.

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