Werber Sportswear Type A-2 Flight Jacket Price: $1,590.00 (new condition) — note shipping costs below Fit: this jacket has snug fit in the correct size Leather: seal brown veg-tanned Shinki wax-finish horsehide Lining: correct rust-color cotton Knits: dark russet wool Snaps: vintage United-Carr Anzo Thread: seal cotton Zipper: NOS Crown chevron nickel zipper from 1941 Size: 40 Slender This jacket is a return (sizing), and we made a replacement. It's made with beautiful Shinki seal brown horsehide, which over time, will show a very subtle wear by lightening of the brown color on high and stress points. The horsehide is dense, but still very comfortable, and it has wonderful grain. We were able to copy four original Werber Sportswear A-2 jackets since 2008, and our pattern is quite solid. This particular jacket is slightly more slender in the chest than a regular pattern Werber, as the customer had requested. The details of the jacket are all accurate and typical of a Werber. We have a good collection of vintage United-Carr Anzo snaps, which are seen in the pockets, and this jacket was made with them. The zipper is a wonderful vintage Crown chevron zipper, the same as original Werber A-2s of the 42-1402-P contract had installed. The earlier Crowns have no ridge at the top of the slider or stopper box, and had chrome plating, and this original zipper is of that design. We always tell our customers who have vintage Crown zippers installed to be as careful as possible with them. The tape, and how the teeth were cast onto the tape, can be a somewhat weak final product over 80 years, especially compared with Talon zippers. But, if these Crowns are treated with respect and carefully, they will last just fine. The jacket would ideally fit someone in the range of 5'7" to 5'10", with a chest of 37" to 39", and a weight of about 145-165 pounds. « Return  Jacket dimensions:  Front along zipper 22.5"  Front chest under arms 21.5"  Back width under arms 21.5"  Back height 24.5"  Shoulder width 18.25"  Sleeves, from shoulder to end of cuff 25.25" Werber Sportswear Type A-2 Flight Jacket Price: $1,590.00 (new condition) — note shipping costs below Fit: this jacket has snug fit in the correct size Leather: seal brown veg-tanned Shinki wax-finish horsehide Lining: correct rust-color cotton Knits: dark russet wool Snaps: vintage United-Carr Anzo Thread: seal cotton Zipper: NOS Crown chevron nickel zipper from 1941 Size: 40 Slender Payment Payment can be made either by credit card, check, or using PayPal.com, with our moniker of info@goodwearleather.com.
