The US Army Air Forces horsehide A-2 is the most iconic leather flight jacket of all time. Along with a "crush" cap, aviator sunglasses and a cigar, the A-2 quickly became symbolic of the daring AAF pilot of WW2. Original AAF WW2 A-2 flight jackets are quite rare today, so the famous Eastman Leather Clothing Company of Devon, England has produced an exacting recreation, and in many ways, their version exceeds the original. We are an officially authorized Eastman dealer, and offer 1 day shipping and an ironclad 30 day money back guarantee on all of our Eastman products. This US Army AAF WW2 EASTMAN PILOT A-2 SEAL BROWN HORSEHIDE LEATHER FLIGHT JACKET is a top of the line MODERN REPRODUCTION by the famous Eastman Leather Clothing Company. It's in MINT, unworn, new with tags condition, with only some scattered natural scratching evident to the front, back, and sleeves (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the jacket is in mint shape, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or other damage to the rich, tough "seal" brown horsehide leather construction. Most interestingly, it sports all of the traditional A-2 features, including a snap down collar, "hook and eye" neck closure, "box and X" stitched leather shoulder straps, one way entry snap flap closure lower front patch pockets, fully functional "CROWN" spring loaded metal front zipper, brown knit cuffs and waistband, spun brown cotton lining, and a leather hanging tab at the inside neck. The jacket is a Size 46, bears the classic "TYPE A-2 / EASTMAN LEATHER CLO." replica nomenclature label at the inside neck, and carries the iconic "winged star" outline stamping of the "ARMY AIR FORCES" at the upper back lining and the middle underside of the front placket. It retains the "CLASS 13 / ELC" and "CROWN ZIPPER CHEVRON" maker's tags attached to the front zipper (temporarily removed for photos), and is a beautiful example of a US Army AAF WW2 EASTMAN PILOT A-2 SEAL BROWN HORSEHIDE LEATHER FLIGHT JACKET.
