Type A-2 Leather Flight Jacket (horsehide)

Type A-2 Leather Flight Jacket (horsehide)

Product Review (submitted on April 7, 2018):
This original 23378 contract was made by Monarch Manufacturing Co in 1942 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA and had various features such as the long pointed collar and the shoulder seams centered under the shoulder straps and the softly rounded pocket flaps, all of which are recreated in this excellent reproduction which includes an exact replica of the triple marked Talon zipper fitted to the original in 1942. This is excellent value at the price for anyone seeking an authentic WW2 spec jacket and is indeed far less expensive than your Eastman, Aero`s and Real McCoys that are made more perfectly than most original WW2 A2 jackets as these where made in their many thousands by dozens of different manufacturers. Photos of jacket do not do it justice so be assured the jacket looks far better and the leather is very good.
