Bessie Bomber Parachute Jacket

Sale price$215.00

Bessie Bomber Parachute Jacket

Named after pioneering aviator Bessie Coleman, the first African American and Native American woman to earn a pilot's license and a fearless trailblazer in aviation history.

The Bessie is a cropped bomber jacket with a structured mandarin collar, zip-front closure, and clean, architectural lines. Crafted from a retired military parachute, it reimagines classic flightwear in a lightweight, modern silhouette. Original seamlines remain visible, making every jacket one of a kind and preserving the unique history of each parachute.

Featherlight and versatile, the Bessie layers effortlessly over dresses, skirts, or denim, adding a polished finish from day to evening.

Vegan. Crafted from retired military parachutes in 100% upcycled nylon.

Made in the USA.

Our model is 5'10" and wears a size Small. Shown with the Adrienne Maxi
