By definition, the black jacket is a fairly short coat, ideal for the demi-season, and which ends above the hips. Its size is rather adjusted and it closes most often with a zipper.


Do you know the origin of the black jacket?
First of all, let's start by setting the scene and by immersing ourselves in the history of the black jacket. This emblematic piece of the men's wardrobe comes to us from the United States and made its appearance at the beginning of the twentieth century. Initially, the jacket was developed for the American army. Very quickly, it was also adopted by aviators. In the past, the black jacket was exclusively designed in leather, from sheepskin. It was ideal to protect the pilots from the cold, which proved to be very practical in unheated cabins. Now, however, the black jacket has evolved greatly. It exists in different more or less light fabrics and has different cuts. Alternately used by bikers and then movie stars, it is today an iconic coat for the rebellious or falsely casual look.

The different styles of black jackets
The perfecto is a black jacket that can be recognized by its wide offset zipper on the front and its wide collar. The bomber jacket is typical of the jackets that airplane pilots used to wear. It is dominated by a wide furred collar. The bomber, on the other hand, is a black nylon jacket that is tightened at the waist and sleeves by elastic bands. The flight jacket is an ideal black jacket to protect yourself from the cold and the wind. It is still made of leather and is very appreciated for its vintage style. The Harrington is typical of the 30s. Worked in textiles such as cotton or polyester, he became famous thanks to Elvis Presley who was a true follower. Finally, the Teddy is a black jacket that is usually made of wool and cotton. It is synonymous with warmth and softness and always closes following the press buttons.
