PATROUILLE DE FRANCE MEN'S COLLECTION
Tribute to the elite of the French air force
The Patrouille de France, or PAF (Patrouille Acrobatique de France), was born in 1953. It is one of the oldest teams, alongside the United States, and brings together nine of the country's greatest acrobatic pilots. Performing from May to October, particularly during the July 14th parade in Paris, the famous Patrouille de France showcases its talent to an audience fascinated by high-flying stunts.
In 2013, on the occasion of the patrol's 60th anniversary, the iconic Redskins brand, created in the 1980s by Serge Aboujedid, wanted to make an impression with this collector's edition of the pilot's bomber jacket. The brand has been associated for many years now with producing exclusive jackets, specifically adapted to the needs of pilots.
The history of the leather bomber jacket
Originally, the leather bomber jacket was the emblem of US Air Force pilots during the First World War. It became a true symbol of fashion with the appearance on screen of the movie Top Gun, where Tom Cruise proudly wore the centerpiece of his role. Since then, the aviator style has continued to inspire fashion and designers from all backgrounds. Associated with leather, you will find the pilot's kit with aviator glasses, which brands have been quick to develop.
