About Chapal

Chapal, based in France, has offered hand-crafted fur, leather and fabric clothing and accessories since 1832. The company scours the world for the finest leathers and then, with exquisite attention to detail, stitches them into helmets, driving shoes, goggles, string back gloves, travel bags and jackets, among other items.

Chapal’s Retro Race Gear offers discerning owners of vintage automobiles the chance to complete the look with appropriate apparel. The styles stem from the company’s history of producing leather flying jackets and gear for the Army and Air Force during both WW1 and WW2.

By carefully overseeing production from tanning to final fit, Chapal ensures quality that lives up to its lineage. Feel the supple leather or soft fur as it conforms to your foot, hand or body, and you’ll understand the incomparable appeal of these accessories for the distinctive driver.
