The tobacco-toned color gives the military-inspired silhouette a more relaxed appearance, while the point collar, utility pockets and rib-knit trims retain the recognizable character of classic flight outerwear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe supplied manufacturing specification identifies the exterior as approximately 0.8 mm genuine goatskin suede. Its lighter construction makes this jacket suitable for transitional weather and everyday layering without the bulk of a shearling-lined flying jacket.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBecause suede has a directional nap, parts of the surface may appear lighter or darker when brushed or viewed under different lighting.
