Chapal is a Paris-based company founded in 1832. Charles Lindbergh was equipped with a Chapal jacket when he became the first person to fly across the Atlantic. In 1927, he flew from Long Island to Paris. It took him 33.5 hours.

The French company developed a line of jackets and leather helmets for early aviators, which were later used on the race tracks of the 1930s. A lot of Chapal sheepskin leather jackets were ordered by the US Military for pilots during the Second World War.

The Chapal Leather Driver’s Helmet is designed in the style of the late 1920s. Well-known racers Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss wore similar helmets. Each helmet is made from high-quality sheepskin leather lined with quitled cotton jersey. Also pilots keep their ear flaps. The helmet is fastened with a double-D ring and there’s also a loop in the back for goggles.

Colors: red, brown, blue, white.

Price: € 300-320.
