History

Founded in 1975 by Jeff Clyman, Avirex initially focused on producing authentic reproductions of historical military flight jackets. The brand gained significant cultural traction during the 1980s and 1990s when its oversized leather jackets became a prominent status symbol in hip-hop culture. This transition from functional military gear to high-end streetwear solidified its role in fashion history as a pioneer of the luxury urban aesthetic and military-inspired lifestyle apparel.
