Description   When nothing but the real thing will do...this authentic Horsehide A-2 Flight Jacket will meet your requirements. Horsehide was used during the 30's and 40's when hides were abundant. Manufacturers changed to Goatskin in later years, but Horsehide 'til this day has always remained the preferred choice for pilots. Nothing wears like Horsehide; as it ages it develops a patina for a rich antiqued look. It is also extremely durable and will provide years of wear - many Horsehide A-2 Jackets from WWII are still in circulation today! In Long version from 42-50.   Features 26" length (28" in Long version) front quarter russet brown Horsehide leather one piece back panel (excellent for custom nose art) top entry pockets with scalloped flap closure (no side entry pockets) snap down collar knit waistband and seamless flared sleeve cuffs underarm grommets for ventilation box stitched shoulder epaulets front storm panel w/hook & eye neck closure brass main zipper & leather pull cotton military style lining black neck label with contract number trim military fit made in USA.

greaT Horse! February 8, 2008 Reviewer: michael kurtz from canoga park, CA United States   my favorite a-2 now! this jacket proudly proclaims on the lining, 'American Horse': according to federal law no u.s. horsehide can come from anything else but natural death horses...no horses killed for hides, pet food, etc...so i do see the jacket as honouring the animal...for those who care about that... otherwise, the jacket is amazing...it has the squared off and trim fit of military spec sizing, and everything else on this jacket is all milspec! the sizing being military you must get one size larger to fit like your civilian size, and i'd recommend the long version...tho $30 more, these run short, like belt high almost... ...this jacket looks very authentic to ww2 styling and dimensions...it ...this is totally authentic to all milspec aspects and looks superb...as for horse vs. goat... horse appears to be a bit lighter weightwise, warmer, and of course stiffer/stronger requiring wonderfully a bit more of an enjoyable break-in period... this jacket scores 100+ out of a hundred!

Product Codez2107H May 11, 2007 Reviewer: Ralph Howard from Florence, KY United States   This Horsehide A-2 was delivered in just a few days;great service-The jacket is a stong copy of my original and the quality is a 98%.The fit is a little boxier,but not much,and at my age I'm glad it is.Overall I am delighted and I think the value is unbeatable.I will give this company 10 out of 10.   I would have given 5 stars if the fit was original and the color more into Russet but these are such small distinctions...Excellent!
