This Star A-2 is the website example of russt horsehide. The jacket is a comfortable size 44, and is made with Shinki horsehide, which is full of grain and beautiful. The jacket is unworn except for the photo shoot.

To get our pattern, a size 44 original was taken apart (one that was in rough condition shown below, which are the only kind of A-2 jackets we ever take apart). Star A-2s have a very unique design, and each little detail recreates the package that is their iconic version of the A-2 jacket. We've studied and copied those details. Example: the back upper shoulder area has a slightly wider fit than other maker A-2 patterns, and when added with the inset sleeves, one has better forward arm motion. Also, the collar hole is lower in the front than typical collar stand jackets, so the collar front doesn't rest close to the chin.

The Shinki horsehide on this jacket will grain up quite a bit with wear, and has a dense feel to it. Shinki is one of the foremost tanneries in the world, and only tans horsehide, using vegetable tanning. This russet finish, which is semi-aniline, is identical to the properties our original Star finish has.



The jacket would ideally fit someone in the range of 5'10" to 6'1" with a chest of 42-44", and a weight of about 185-205 pounds.
