Avirex Icon Bright Green Lambskin Leather Jacket

A vivid interpretation of the Avirex military bomber, this Icon Jacket is made from 100% antique-finish European lamb leather with a substantial 1.2mm thickness. It combines a pointed leather collar, Avirex-branded front zipper, embroidered chest crest, oversized AVIREX USA back artwork, slanted single-welt pockets and striped rib-knit cuffs and hem. The model is 6 feet tall and wears size Medium.

A Statement Green Avirex Bomber

This Avirex Leather Jacket brings unmistakable colour to the established Icon bomber silhouette. Its bright apple-green leather makes an immediate impression, while black, cream, red, white and blue artwork gives the design a clear American varsity influence.

From the front, the jacket is relatively restrained. The green leather remains the main feature, supported by a shield-shaped chest crest, clean zipper closure and practical welt pockets. The back introduces the design’s strongest visual element: large AVIREX and USA lettering arranged around a central embroidered crest.

The combination of military-inspired construction, varsity artwork and contemporary styling makes this a jacket for buyers who want their leather outerwear to be seen rather than blend into the background.

More branded designs and alternative colourways are available in the Avirex jacket collection.

Colour and Finish

The gallery shows a vivid green colour that can be described as bright green, apple green or spring green. It is lighter and more saturated than olive, khaki or traditional military green.

The smooth antique-style leather finish reflects light gently without appearing heavily polished. The brightness of the colour changes slightly between the studio photographs and model images, which is normal when genuine leather is photographed under different lighting.

The actual shade may also vary slightly according to a customer’s screen settings.

1.2mm European Lamb Leather

The outer shell is made from 100% European lamb leather. Lambskin is known for its smooth grain and flexibility, while the stated 1.2mm thickness gives this jacket more body than a lightweight lambskin garment.

This thickness helps the leather support:

• The structured turn-down collar

• Oversized back appliqués

• Panelled sleeves

• Welt pocket openings

• Waist-length bomber shape

• Rib-knit waistband and cuff joins

The jacket may feel structured when first worn. Lamb leather normally becomes more flexible around the elbows, shoulders and waist through regular use.

Genuine leather can contain small differences in grain, tone and texture. These variations are part of the natural material rather than flaws.

Front Design

The front uses broad, uninterrupted green panels that allow the colour and smooth leather finish to remain prominent.

A multicoloured Avirex shield crest is positioned on the wearer’s left chest. The patch incorporates stars-and-stripes artwork, Avirex lettering and established-1975 detailing.

A full-length front zipper provides the main closure. The hardware includes Avirex branding and a shaped pull, creating a small functional detail near the collar.

Two slanted single-welt pockets sit at the lower front. Their narrow leather surrounds keep the pocket openings visible without adding bulky flaps or exposed zippers.

Oversized Back Artwork

The back is dominated by large black AVIREX lettering across the shoulder area. Matching USA letters appear below the central crest.

Light cream borders separate the black appliqués from the bright green leather and connect visually with the pale stripes in the knitted hem and cuffs.

The central circular emblem contains an American shield, stars-and-stripes embroidery and established-1975 detailing. The gallery indicates that the lettering is applied and stitched onto the jacket rather than printed directly onto the leather.

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

Collar, Panels and Stitching

Collar

The jacket has a pointed turn-down leather collar rather than a knitted bomber collar. Tonal green stitching follows the collar edge, helping it hold its shape while maintaining a clean appearance.

Shoulder Construction

Diagonal seams travel from the collar area towards the sleeves, producing a raglan-like shoulder shape. This softens the shoulder line and contributes to the jacket’s relaxed appearance.

Sleeve Panels

Long seams follow the outer sleeves, adding shape to the leather. The sleeves finish in striped rib-knit cuffs that sit securely around the wrists.

Back Panels

A vertical centre seam divides the back, while a horizontal seam runs across the lower body above the waistband. These panels stabilise the leather and create a structured base for the oversized artwork.

Stitching

Matching green topstitching is visible around the collar, zipper, pockets, sleeves, shoulder panels, back seams and knitted trim. The stitching remains deliberately understated so that the colour and appliqués stay visually dominant.

Striped Rib-Knit Cuffs and Hem

The cuffs and waistband use green and white striped rib knit. The elastic cuffs draw in the sleeves at the wrists, while the waistband creates the rounded lower edge associated with a classic bomber jacket.

The pale stripes help balance the light borders around the black back lettering. They also provide a clear transition between the vivid leather and the clothing worn underneath.

Fit Seen in the Product Gallery

The jacket has a regular-to-relaxed bomber fit. It sits around the waist, with comfortable space through the body, shoulders and sleeves.

The gallery shows it styled open over a fitted white top and loose denim, emphasising its contemporary streetwear character. The roomy sleeves and softly shaped shoulders prevent the jacket from appearing restrictive.

The model is 6 feet tall and wears size Medium. Customers should still compare their chest, shoulder, sleeve and preferred jacket-length measurements with the Leather Wear UK size guide.

Choose your normal size for the intended relaxed shape. If you want a closer fit, rely on the garment measurements rather than automatically sizing down. For a deliberately oversized result or room for heavy layers, consider sizing up after checking the chest and shoulder measurements.

Styling a Bright Green Leather Jacket

Because the green leather is already visually strong, neutral clothing allows it to remain the main part of the outfit.

Wear it with a white T-shirt, washed blue jeans and white trainers for the relaxed combination shown in the gallery. Black trousers and a plain black top create more contrast and connect with the black back lettering.

Cream trousers can bring out the pale appliqué borders and ribbed stripes. Charcoal denim offers a softer alternative to solid black, while loose jeans reinforce the jacket’s varsity and streetwear character.

Avoid combining it with several competing bright colours unless a deliberately maximalist outfit is intended.

Weather and Seasonal Use

The 1.2mm lamb leather provides a substantial outer layer for mild and cool weather. It can work well during spring and autumn, while colder conditions may require knitwear or a sweatshirt underneath.

Exact warmth cannot be confirmed without verified lining information. The jacket should also not be advertised as waterproof or completely windproof unless those properties have been tested.

Brief exposure to light moisture may not immediately damage finished leather, but prolonged rain should be avoided. If the jacket becomes damp, blot the surface gently and allow it to dry naturally on a broad hanger.

Do not place wet leather near a radiator, heater or hairdryer.

Leather Care

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

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

• Blot small spills instead of rubbing them.

• Keep alcohol-based products and household cleaners away from the leather.

• Test any leather conditioner on a hidden area first.

• Use products specifically suitable for coloured lambskin.

• Keep conditioner away from embroidered and applied artwork.

• Do not iron the chest patch, back appliqués or knitted trims.

• Hang the jacket on a wide, supportive hanger.

• Store it in a breathable garment cover.

• Avoid folding it beneath heavy clothing.

• Protect the bright colour from prolonged direct sunlight.

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