Everything worth asking first.

Yes. Sheep and goat nappa, tanned in Kanpur, flame and water tested before it is cut. It creases and darkens with wear.

Up to eight characters — letters, numbers, a hyphen or a space. Block capitals, embroidered exactly as you type them. A nickname, a surname, a number, whatever people already call you. It is your callsign, not ours.

Yes. The patch is Velcro-backed; the panel is on the left chest. A plain patch ships in the box for the days you want no name.

A second, plain black patch ships in the box. Swap it on and the chest reads as plain leather — no name, no exposed Velcro. Both patches use the same panel, so it takes a second either way.

Two come with the jacket: your callsign and a plain one. Extra patches — a second name, a number — are something we plan to offer once the first orders are delivered; message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you when.

The jacket, both patches, and one more thing we are not going to describe here. Small, ours, and it only comes with the first orders.

A black cap with the same callsign on the side panel — not across the front — for ₹1,000. It ships in the box with the jacket.

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

Your jacket is cut after you order and ships within 8 days. You get a WhatsApp message when it is made and again when it is dispatched.

In full when you order — UPI, card or netbanking. No cash on delivery: a jacket with your name on it cannot be resold.

Full refund any time before we cut your leather. After that, size exchange within 7 days of delivery.

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

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

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.
