Pilot's Jacket A-2 Russet
- our premium A-2 - made with hand-tanned cowhide

A2 US Army Air Force Russet

The A-2 jacket was introduced by the US Army Air Corps on May 29, 1931 as INTERMEDIATE Flying Jacket, and worn until the end of the war. Pilots, and crew alike, looked at their A-2 jackets as a trusty companion- it was more than just a piece of clothing.

The leather used for this jacket is just fantastic:
2 mm thick and tanned by hand, exactly like 70 years ago. Tanned in our own tannery.

Innerlining made from 100% real cotton:
Authentic and breathable fabric

Details:

High quality, extra thick (2 mm) cowhide
Back piece constructed from a single piece of leather
Snap-flap patch pockets, closed with snap fasteners
Shirt-style snap-down collar
Shoulder straps
Knit cuffs and waistband
100% real cotton inner lining
Exquisite workmanship through hand made production

The leather receives its authentic look and the great touch sensation through the time consuming (and therefore rare) vegetable tanning method.

The jacket's high quality and great price are ensured because we can produce it in our own tannery!
