A Tribute to the Character and Endurance of the 1923 Drivers
Assert your presence with the FERNAND BACHMANN Black Army Jacket. A standout piece of true character, this model fuses the authenticity of a vintage military jacket with the aesthetic rigor of heritage motorsport. Its deep, magnetic black shade evokes the power of legendary engines and the understated style of historic paddocks.
This model celebrates the heritage of its founder, FERNAND BACHMANN, a distinguished driver who made history by taking to the track in the very first 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1923. Slipping into this jacket is a statement of a lifestyle defined by authenticity, performance, and panache.
The Ultimate Transition Piece for a Structured Casual-Chic Silhouette
The FERNAND BACHMANN men's black military jacket stands out for its absolute versatility. Designed to be worn as an overshirt or a lightweight jacket, its modern tailored fit crafts an impeccable silhouette without ever restricting movement—whether behind the wheel or strolling through the city.
Its functional cargo pockets add a touch of unique retro masculinity while offering high practicality for your keys, driving gloves, or sunglasses (Patrick 4 or Raoul 4). Wear it buttoned up for a clean, protective look during an early morning road trip, or wide open over a red polo or white t-shirt for a sharp graphic contrast at the clubhouse.
