Description
A masterful blend of rugged aviator heritage and Parisian refinement, crafted with buttery-soft leather and plush shearling for the modern gentleman.
Born from the iconic silhouette that has outfitted aviators from cockpits to city streets, this AMI Paris pilot jacket reinterprets a classic with the brand’s signature understated elegance. The shearling-trimmed collar introduces a tactile, sculptural element that frames the face while providing exceptional warmth against winter’s chill. Each seam is precisely channeled, allowing the supple leather to catch light and create natural highlights across the shoulders and sleeves.
Crafted from supple lambskin leather in a rich, versatile tone, the jacket features a structured yet comfortable fit that honors traditional military-inspired proportions while feeling distinctly contemporary. The plush shearling lining extends through the body and collar, offering an indulgent layer of insulation that transforms a functional piece into a luxurious statement. Ribbed knit cuffs and hem—rendered in a contrasting wool blend—cinch the silhouette and lock in warmth, while the asymmetrical zip front closure with snap-fastened placket pays homage to the original MA-1 flight jacket.
Functional details elevate the design, including two snap-flap chest pockets and two side entry pockets, each thoughtfully placed for both utility and visual balance. The signature AMI de Coeur heart embroidery—Alexandre Mattiussi’s beloved emblem—appears subtly at the chest, a quiet marker of the Parisian label’s romantic sensibility.

The supple lambskin leather is selected for its exceptional softness and natural grain, developing a rich patina over time. The genuine shearling lining provides superior thermal regulation, naturally wicking moisture while retaining warmth. Together, these materials create a jacket that is both indulgently tactile and built to endure seasons of wear.
Styling
Pair this aviator-inspired jacket with raw indigo denim and Chelsea boots for an effortless weekend look, or layer it over a fine merino rollneck and tailored wool trousers for elevated cold-weather sophistication. The shearling collar adds dimension when paired with knitwear in tonal neutrals—consider cream, charcoal, or deep navy—to let the textures speak for themselves.
Brand Heritage
Founded in 2011 by Alexandre Mattiussi in Paris, AMI Paris—French for “friend”—was born from the designer’s desire to create contemporary, wearable menswear that feels both relaxed and refined. Mattiussi, a former assistant at Dior and Givenchy, launched the label after winning the prestigious ANDAM Prize. The brand quickly earned acclaim for its accessible Parisian cool and the iconic AMI de Coeur heart motif, becoming a favorite among style icons and tastemakers worldwide.
