Nothing more classic than an original A-2!

This example is 1 of 50,000 made by Aero Leather Clothing Co. As under contract No. 42-18775P awarded in fisca year, 1942.

The condition of this jacket is amazing considering it is over 80 years old.

All parts are original to the jacket.

The leather is soft and supple.

Cuff knits have some moth holes, but still in solid condition.

Inside lining is solid, which is rare after 80 years.

This example has the AN stamp present from inspection but it has faded over the years.

Contract label still present and in mint condition.

Original M-41 Talon zipper is flawless.

Being a size 46, makes this jacket a rare bird nowadays.

Enough said, let the pictures talk.

Regards,
Jorge

Are you gonna try to clean it a bit, the liner not the skin, or this one stays (genuine) all the way?

And the waistband looks strong and whole as well as the Talon!
