Type A-2 Leather Flight Jacket (horsehide)

Product Review (submitted on February 6, 2018):

As all of the other reviewers have said everything about the quality and craftsmanship is par on or better than the A-2s made by other manufacturers at 50%+ lower price. In my opinion the best made A-2 is Cockpit USA and this A-2 is identical in every way at 75% less. The only thing I would say that detracts from totally perfect is new horsehide is very stiff and requires a lot of wear to break in the jacket. This is not the fault of anyone it’s just the nature of the beast. This A-2s sizing runs fairly true or just a tad smaller. Considering the A-2s specifications are for US Army & USAF in shape military personnel and extra material bagging & saging detracts from one’s presentation. If you’ve ever wanted a authentic horsehide A-2 but haven’t wanted to pay the big freight to get one this A-2 is too good to pass up! You won’t be sorry!
