The Chuck Jacket Black — Air Layer Bomber

Every collection needs one piece that ends the outfit. The Chuck Jacket is it.

What air layer fabric actually is

Most jackets at this weight are nylon shells stuffed with fill. This one isn't. Air layer is a double-knit fabric — two layers of face cloth held apart by a connecting yarn, with a cushion of trapped air between them. That air is what insulates. No wadding, no down, no baffles, no crinkle when you move.

The result is a jacket that holds its own shape rather than collapsing when you take it off, and one you can keep on indoors without overheating. It has the structure of outerwear and the hand of knitwear, which is a combination you don't get from a technical shell at any price.

Built to layer over, not squeeze into

Cut with genuine room across the chest and shoulder so it sits over the Marais Merino Wool Zip-Up or the Saint-Germain Crewneck Sweatshirt without pulling at the arm or riding up at the back. Full-length zip, side pockets set where cold hands go, and a hem low enough to actually cover you.

Black or cream

Two colourways that behave completely differently. Black disappears into everything and never asks a question — the safe, correct, every-single-day choice. Cream does the opposite: it's the piece people look at first, and it's the reason this collection was shot where it was.

Limited to 30 pieces

30 units total across both colourways for AW26. Once they're gone, this cut isn't being repeated.

Frequently asked questions

What is air layer fabric?
A double-knit cloth with two face layers held apart by a connecting yarn. The air trapped between them provides the warmth, so there's no separate filling and no bulk.

Is it warm enough for winter?
It's a warm mid-to-outer layer rather than a technical winter shell. Over knitwear it handles British autumn and most of winter. In driving rain or sub-zero wind, it isn't the jacket for the job.

Is it waterproof?
No. Air layer is an untreated knit fabric and will absorb water. Treat it as you would a heavyweight sweatshirt, not a rain jacket.

Will it fit over a jumper?
Yes. It's cut with room across the chest and shoulder specifically to layer over knitwear.

Does the cream colourway mark easily?
Cream needs more care than black. Spot clean promptly and wash cold — don't put it on a hot cycle.
