About This Jacket:

This jacket is several years old and was made with buffalo hide, which is quite similar to heavy goatskin in texture and feel. The jacket was of a strong red hue when new, but with sun fading and use the finish has worn to a more yellow color. This is what some originals do, which I've seen on several Cable Raincoat A-2s. The name strip is from Aero, the patch was made by the owner, and the zipper was replaced by Aero. This is a standard Aero size 46.
