Questions

Everything worth asking first.

Is this real leather?

Yes. Genuine sheep and goat nappa, tanned in Kanpur, flame tested and water tested before it is cut. It will crease and darken with wear, which is what separates it from anything coated.

Which tiers include the embroidered name tab?

Pilot and Squadron. Both carry a custom embroidered name tab, up to eight characters, mounted on the jacket. Solo ships with a blank Velcro patch area on the left chest instead, so you can add your own later.

How do I pick a size?

Measure around the fullest part of your chest with your arms down, then match the centimetres to the size table. Between two sizes, take the larger one — the jacket is meant to close over a layer.

When will my jacket arrive?

Delivery is October 2026. You get a message on WhatsApp when your jacket is made and again when it is dispatched.

What if I book late?

The October batch is limited to 40 jackets. Bookings after the batch fills (or after 15 October) ship with the next batch in December 2026. Your token and price stay the same.

What am I paying now, and what is left?

You pay a ₹499 booking token now, which is adjusted as ₹1,000 off the final price. The balance is paid on delivery. So a ₹5,999 jacket costs ₹499 now and ₹4,999 when it reaches you.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. The ₹499 token is fully refundable any time before dispatch — message us on WhatsApp and it goes back to the original payment method.

Can I return or exchange it?

Personalised items are non-returnable, because the name is stitched for you and cannot be resold. Size exchanges are accepted within 7 days of delivery.

How do I care for the leather?

This is genuine leather. Do not wear it in the rain, wipe it with a dry cloth, and keep it away from heat. No machine washing.

Is this an Indian Air Force product?

No. CODENAME is an independent brand with no affiliation to or endorsement by the Indian Air Force, and the jackets carry no military insignia. The name you choose is your own.
