Our A2 Lost Contract Jacket is a
recreation of the A2, 38-1711-P, previously manufactured
by Aero Beacon New York. This version of the jacket is most likely
one of the most rare A-2 jackets of its time. The jacket has
been reproduced exactly as the original with all the finer details
inlcuded. 100% Vegetable tanned
Horsehide with the back made from one piece of hide which has been
seamlessly hand-sown.
Details:
Hand
Crafted Authentic and Historic Design. 100%
Horsehide in Russet
colour. 100% Cotton Lined. Wind
resistant knitted cuffs and waistband. Flap patch pockets,
closed with snap fasteners. Button-down
collar, with snap fastener on each side.
I bought this jacket and they made it in my size. This was 70 euros. The jacket is great the leather is nice and smooth. It fits perfectly and the price one third of a jacket from Aero or Schott. The service was awesome.

Fine materials, perfect attention to details.
It is not a tight fitting jacket: for people who know and understand,
what they buy and want.
Very comfortable in arms and breast area, for pilots to work in the sky.

The Noble House lost contract A-2 is a tight fitting jacket like the originals that were worn like uniforms. If this bothers you you should order one size larger than your regular size. Note that this jacket is very short!
The low price of the jacket compared to other manufacturers led me to believe it would also offer less quality. After wearing the jacket every day for months now I can only say I was wrong about that. Both the leather and workmanship are top notch! Close examination of the stitching reveals this jacket was entirely made by hand which is a big plus. This is how it was done when the originals were made.
I can't comment on how much of a replica this jacket is as I don't own any original A-2's. However please note that the colour of the jacket in person is lighter than in the pics. The cuffs and waistband aren't black but brown as they should be. Also in the pics the colour seems to have some shading which is not present in the jacket I recieved. Mine had an even russet colour with a bit of a plastic-like appearance which is typical for vegetable tanned leather. I've aged mine to achieve the dullness and shading I desired but if you wear the jacket regularly this should occur naturally as the leather breaks in.
All in all a great jacket for a very nice price and actually the best leather jacket I've ever owned.

How to Measure Correctly
Measure your chest circumference around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure horizontal around your body. The tape should fit comfortably without being too tight.
For flight jackets, leather jackets, and sheepskin jackets, we recommend allowing some extra room for comfort, especially if you plan to wear a sweater underneath.
