Today I'd like to talk about my favorite leather flying jacket of all time, the A-2. It was used by USAAF pilots in World War 2, and it's the sharpest looking jacket ever made. I'd like to show you a few options where you can get decent repros, and also point out a few things to keep in mind before buying one.
