First issued to the U.S. Army aviators in 1931 and worn by flight crews throughout World War II, the A-2 flight jacket was reissued by the U.S. Air Force in 1987. Made by Cockpit, the current supplier of the A-2 to the Air Force, this updated classic version has a rugged outer shell of French lambskin, characterized by its distressed leather appearance and soft feel (softens even more with wear). The jacket provides three-season comfort with a snap-down collar, zip-up closing, two front cargo pockets (with snap closures), two side pockets, and wool cuffs and waistband. The nylon/acetate lining has two American flags embroidered across the back with a silk-screened message that says The Nation Salutes You. Imported. Requires leather cleaning. Slim fit. Mens sizes S (36-38), M (40-42), L (44-46), XL (48-50), or XXL (52-54). For a more generous fit, please order one size up. (6 lbs.)
