Airman Vest MK5
Original British 1990s RAF thermal liners, reworked in our home town of Derby in 2026 to create the Airman Vest MK5.
Each vest begins life as an authentic RAF liner. Using a unique pattern cutting process, every liner is carefully cut by hand to create the individual panels. It’s a slow, labour-intensive process, but one that allows us to make the most of these original garments and give them a completely new purpose.
The panels are then stitched and bound individually on vintage industrial machines, many of which have been in use for decades. The result is a distinctive modern heritage piece, with original military history running through every stitch.
The vest features two lower pockets, an outer chest pocket and an inner chest pocket, all bar-tacked for added strength and longevity.
A British made two-way zip allows for versatile styling, whether worn as a stand-alone piece or as layered piece in colder times.
