Kim’s Aerostatic Pilot Jacket

Kim Kitsuragi’s orange pilot jacket, modeled after those worn by air brigades during the Revolution. Most of those brigades were ripped to shreds or burnt to cinders above the city of Revachol, the larger island it sits upon, or the ocean that surrounds it.

Pilots used the inner pockets of their jackets to store logbooks and tool kits. Kim honours this function by using one of the pockets to carry his trusty notebook, where it lies close to his heart. It’s a sentimentality, but Kim feels centred when wearing this jacket. He leaves it on when he sits down for Volta.
