There are some pieces that seem to have always been around. Jackets that evoke a sense of adventure, created for those who gazed at the horizon from the skies.
The CWU bomber jacket by Schott NYC is one of them.

Designed in the 1950s for United States Air Force pilots, it was created to withstand speed, altitude and extreme conditions. A piece designed to protect — and which, without knowing it, would leave a lasting mark on the history of style.

Decade after decade, this military garment became a symbol. A classic adopted by generations of men and women, a second skin that was robust, familiar and just right.

This year, Schott NYC entrusted its iconic CWU to Octobre Éditions for a respectful and sensitive reinterpretation. The DNA remains intact: same silhouette, same soul, same heritage. Octobre simply adds its own touch through subtle details, a customised Velcro fastening and a discreet signature.

Made from our historic nylon — now available in a recycled version — the Octobre x Schott NYC CWU jacket comes in a unique navy blue colour, lined with the iconic orange.
More than a collaboration, it is an encounter, a natural dialogue around a timeless piece.
