TYPE A-2


WW2 A-2 russet horse hide leather bomber with cotton lining~from LBC this weekend-I never see them in this condition-a few holes in cuffs/waist band but otherwise perfect. Pilot identified through the name tag as John W Worsdell Jr...I'm not sure what the information on the inside of the pocket flap is-perhaps the ship/plane?. I like the concealed snap down collar and pocket flaps on these-also a slimmer cut...it was one of those purchases where you are surrounded by a few lads waiting for you to put the item back down (flea markets = public dressing rooms)...no I don't want to sell it.

In house relative (summer flying jacket) here.
