particular model represents the fourth of five contracts the company fulfilled.\u003cbr\u003eAs the U.S. Army Air Forces mandated the inclusion of \"Property Air Force\" markings starting midway through 1942, this jacket features a distinctive \"two-tier\" label setup, where two separate labels are sewn one over the other.\u003cbr\u003eIt also boasts the bold, imposing silhouette characteristic of Rough Wear, including a large collar complete with a collar stand.\u003cbr\u003eThe leather used for this jacket is crafted from Italian hides, which are slowly tanned by soaking them in vats of bark-derived tannin, with the concentration levels adjusted gradually over time.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing this meticulous tanning process, artisans hand-rub \"Seal Brown\" aniline dye into the leather.\u003cbr\u003eSlight color irregularities serve as a hallmark of this manual craftsmanship—a finish highly prized by leather enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003eUnlike lacquer finishes, aniline-dyed leather possesses a translucent quality, allowing the material to develop a unique character and rich expression through wear and aging.\u003cbr\u003eWith the tanning agents and dye deeply infused into the leather, this jacket takes on an increasingly refined and distinctive look with every wear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan

size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003eThe \"Type A-2\" is a summer-weight flight jacket that was officially adopted by the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1931.\u003cbr\u003eWith approximately 700,000 units produced by 1943, it is a masterpiece of leather flight jackets and—alongside the Navy's G-1—enjoys immense popularity among military wear enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003eUnlike its predecessor, the A-1, which used buttons, the A-2 adopted a zipper closure, dramatically enhancing its functionality.\u003cbr\u003eIt became the standard for subsequent flight jackets and is known as a garment beloved by countless pilots.\u003cbr\u003eThe large collar, featuring a collar stand, boasts the bold, imposing silhouette characteristic of the Rough Wear company.\u003cbr\u003eEquipped with snap buttons and a neck hook, the collar allows for various styling options—such as adjusting how it is fastened or shaping the collar itself—to change the look around the neck.\u003cbr\u003eThe pockets on both sides are flap pockets secured with snap buttons.\u003cbr\u003eAs standing with hands in one's pockets was considered inappropriate for soldiers, the pockets were designed without a hand-warming function.\u003cbr\u003eThe cuffs and hem feature 100% wool ribbing for a snug fit.\u003cbr\u003eThe cuff ribbing is made using seamless circular knitting and employs a mix of low-gauge and high-gauge knits to improve fit and prevent wind from entering through gaps.\u003cbr\u003eThe front features a zipper closure with a protective storm flap.\u003cbr\u003eThe zipper utilizes a \"Size 5\" wartime-style Talon zipper—common in the 1940s—complete with a small leather pull tab.\u003cbr\u003eIn a display of faithful reproduction, the Army Air Corps insignia is placed on the back of the storm flap, a detail often hidden during everyday wear.\u003cbr\u003eThe lining features name details and stenciled markings.\u003cbr\u003eA distinctive feature of this model is the two-tiered label stitching; this reflects the requirement, introduced mid-1942, to include the \"Property of Air Force\" designation.\u003cbr\u003eThe leather used is Italian bronco hide (wild horse leather). The leather is slowly tanned by soaking it in vats containing tannins extracted from tree bark, and \"Seal Brown\" aniline dye is then hand-applied; this process ensures that each piece possesses a unique character, allowing the artisan's craftsmanship to truly shine through.\u003cbr\u003eAmong horsehides, \"Bronco Hide\" is highly prized for the distinct natural characteristics of its grain—such as scratches and wrinkles—which vividly convey the unique appeal of a natural material.\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, the leather evolves as it is worn—developing its own unique creases and sheen—resulting in an A-2 jacket that is truly one-of-a-kind for every owner.\u003cbr\u003eThe back panel is crafted from a single, luxurious piece of leather, offering the distinct pleasure of experiencing the material's aging process in a truly direct and impactful way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan
