About This Jacket:

This jacket is a 2002 model horsehide Flight Suits A-2. The color is a very dark seal brown, and the texture of the leather is extremely smooth. The shoulders are a bit too large in my opinion, and in the back it causes folding of the top area. The rest of the jacket is quite nice, and made with very exacting precision. Their knits are amazingly well made. As a size 42, the jacket fits close to some 42 and some 44 originals, but it's not as drastically large as some of the Flight Suits A-2s that I've seen. Note the Talon zipper teeth - they've had that same design for the last 60 years, though the rest of the zipper differs from 1940's designs.
