Oddest looking "A-2" I've ever seen...

[RumRunner]

For sale via Instagram, if anyone's interested.

Back looks like a G2.

Train wreck aside, the green knits are interesting. Never seen that color before.

Is that an a-3, a-4?

Schott have perpetrated nearly as many jacket atrocities as Avirex. That’s their classic ’flight jacket’, owned by a good few around here over the years. I grant you the green knits are pretty grim, but they’ve done way worse.

I have the same but totally black. It's a pretty comfortable jacket for riding as the mouton sits flat on the shoulders and doesn't restrain your head movement while wearing a helmet.
Can't say the same for B-15's.... Which I came to believe that it could be one of the reasons they removed the mouton collar.

Quite possible. Probably sucked flying open cockpit. I wore my roughwear a-2 open cockpit and the collar would nearly beat me to death flapping

Oh yeah, I know the feeling, the throat latch on my wax jackets HAS to be fastened when riding at high speed or it will flap to a hurting point, I am serious!

That jacket is a sign of a “Confused “ individual.

Un versed at the least.

What a maroon!

What the heck is "genuine pliable cowhide?"

Dude, why do you think the snaps are there?

 

[Pa12]

Only hold to a point

Opposite of imitation non pliable?

Must have shot the cow on the run.

As my old granddaddy would say “ I need two of those, one to shit in & one to cover it up with..”
