Aviat-hare is inspired by Hilda Hewlett, an early aviator and the first British woman to gain her pilots license. She ran the first flying school in the UK with Gustav Blondeau and manufactured over 800 airplanes from the Hewlett and Blondeau Headquarters in Luton.
The design takes inspiration from the aviation industry, from the traditional goggles, hat and aviation attire to an Avro 504 airplane. Look out for badges on Aviat-hare’s jacket in tribute to some of Hewletts pioneering achievements.
