I recommended Goodwear Jackets to the movie people as a source to recreate this jacket but the ended up going to a vendor in Italy.
They created a fair jacket but IMO the Goodwear jacket is way nicer.

All of the jackets and leather flights suits for Amelia were made by Belstaff in Italy.1911A1US said:In the new release of Earhart`s bio,anyone know who made the jacket?

The leather flying helmets were made locally in Toronto.
I have one of the 3/4 length Amelia jackets that was made to my measurements as I was to do some of her flying scenes.
At the end of filming, I was presented with the jacket and a flying helmet that was custom made to my head size.
Not a bad jacket but I will most likely sell it at some point. Definitely if she wins an Oscar
As Andrew says I did recommend Goodwear as his Amelia Earhart jacket IMHO is 100x better that the Belstaff version.
Unfortunate for most newer jacket makers, Belstaff has been doing movie work for a long time and the film industry is notorious for not wanting to try new things.
They get most of the work ie: Amelia , Benjamin Button etc
