Leather Bomber Jacket Appraisal

Avirex Black Leather Bomber Jacket

This is a men's Avirex brand bomber jacket constructed from what appears to be black, supple leather. The jacket features a full-zip front closure with a metallic zipper. The collar is a classic shirt-style, pointed collar. Prominently displayed on the chest is the 'AVIREX' logo in a contrasting color, likely silver or grey, with an additional graphic element, possibly a stylized animal or mythological creature, to the right of the text. The jacket has a relaxed fit with elasticized or ribbed cuffs and waistband, typical of a bomber style, which helps to create a slightly bloused effect over the waist. There are what appear to be two vertical slit pockets on the front, near the side seams. The leather shows some creasing and slight wrinkles, particularly around the arms and torso, indicating normal wear consistent with its material and the garment's usage. The overall condition appears good with no obvious tears, significant scuffs, or repairs visible from the provided image. The interior label, visible at the back of the neck, confirms the 'AVIREX' brand. The construction appears sturdy, suggesting good quality craftsmanship, common for Avirex leather goods. The style period is likely late 20th century to early 21st century, given the bomber jacket silhouette and branding, possibly from the 1990s or 2000s when Avirex jackets were particularly popular. The leather has a slight sheen, suggesting it might be a finished or coated leather, enhancing its durability and appearance. The jacket’s design, with its bold logo and classic cut, makes it a recognizable streetwear item.
