Leggera Plongé Jacket
A1 Jacket
Our interpretation of the celebrated A1 jacket produced for the US Air Force, which became iconic thanks also to Charles Lindbergh who wore it during his epic first transatlantic flight on the Spirit of Saint Luis.
For this winter variant we use plongè lambskin of the best quality. Unlike regular nappa leather, plongè leather is nearly makeup-free leather. Its coloring was obtained by immersion in a bath of dyes without adding any other finish. Only the most beautiful skins can undergo this treatment, thus obtaining a natural appearance with a softer, more elastic and silky touch .

Care and maintenance
Leather is a resistant and long-lasting material, but at the same time delicate, which needs special attention. If respected, it will accompany you for a long time, acquiring that patina that will make your garment even more exclusive.
Furthermore, each hide has specific peculiarities: so we invite you not to clean it at home, but to make use of specialized services.
Avoid contact with liquids, leather is a material that is not waterproof. If necessary, remove the water on the surface with a clean towel without dabbing and let the garment dry in a dry space away from direct heat sources.
The tanned leather is affected by the incidence of direct light, modifying the colour, so please be careful not to expose your garment to direct light for a long time.
Suede Leathers:
Our leathers are equipped with an anti-drop treatment which, although it does not make the leather waterproof, does protect it from the action of water. This treatment decays over time but can be renewed with specific products for professional use.
For periodic cleaning, use only a specific brush for suede garments. Work the garment gently to remove the dust and restore the suede qualities.
Clinic service
Accidents happen: an impossible stain, a zip that comes undone, a tear in the lining. Our Foulon Clinic Service assists you and offers you personalized support for the care, cleaning and maintenance of your clothes as well as, if necessary, taking care of them to repair and give a new life to your Foulon.
