A couple of different variations of the military spec A-2 flight jacket are available with some differences. Some have side entry pockets and some have hook and eye collar fastener as options.
Getting an A-2 flight jacket can be a tough task if you are picky like I am. You want a quality supplier who knows what they are doing. Any improper handling of the jacket and leave stains or dents in the leather. Sewing quality is something you should look out for too. Are all of the stitches straight? How long are the stitches? Does the jacket seem like it was rushed in parts or was there cost cutting you can easily notice?
These jackets were made to a particular standard when adopted by the US Army Air Corps. The jackets have been reproduced and they are not always made to the same specifications. This can be differences in size, style, or attributes. You may or may not like the changes made, but you should be aware that not all A-2 flight jackets are made equally!
