What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from soft, dark brown goatskin. This material provides a comfortable fit with no break-in period. The goatskin is described as pliable and of good quality with a nice texture. It is also noted for its appropriate weight.
How does the jacket fit?
The jacket is designed for a close, trim, and authentic 1940s A-2 fit. It sits neatly on the shoulders, with the bottom of the jacket typically reaching the waist at the trouser belt. For a looser fit, it is advisable to order one size larger than your regular size. Sizing up is a common recommendation for those who prefer more room or a less trim fit.
Does the jacket have hand-warmer pockets?
No, the jacket does not have hand-warmer pockets. This design choice reflects authentic styling, as hand-warmer pockets were not authorised on the original A-2 jackets. The jacket features front snap-down flap pockets instead. This detail is consistent with the original contract specifications for the A-2.
What type of lining does the jacket have?
The jacket features a brown cotton lining. This lining is described as a correct feature of WWII-era A-2 jackets. It is a brushed cotton lining, which allows the jacket to slip on and off easily. The lining is also noted for being sturdy.
What is the colour of the goatskin?
The goatskin is a very dark seal brown. It is also described as dark chocolate. This colour is consistent across jackets and contributes to the authentic appearance.
