Type A-2 Leather Flight Jacket (cowhide)

Product Review (submitted on November 24, 2015):

After receiving the cowhide A-2, I am surprised there are no other reviews about this jacket.

I have owned A-2 replicas from quite a few manufacturers over the years, and must say that QMI's rates up there with some of the best.

The cowhide is thick, yet supple, and should break-in well over time. The stitching is very well done, and overall, the jacket is of excellent quality for the money. The pattern is authentic to the period. Using the sizing chart, I chose my normal size 44, and the jacket fits like I imagine an AAF issued A-2 from the 1940's would. The armholes are high, and there is NO bagginess like in more modern cuts.

A single word to describe this A-2 is "Outstanding!" If you are on the fence about purchasing one, just do it! There was an issue in shipping that was professionally taken care of by QMI staff, and Peter, the company owner. I will be purchasing one of the A-2's from QMI in Horsehide VERY soon.
