EASTMAN LEATHER CLOTHING WWII TYPE A-2 FLYING JACKET ROUGH WEAR 1401 P

Description: Gents, Offered here is this USAAF Type A-2 Flying Jacket, Rough Wear 1401 P made by Eastman Leather Clothing. Condition is NEW WITH TAGS. Size: 40R The Rough Wear Clothing Co. from Middletown Pennsylvania was one of the most prolific of the wartime contractors, producing thousands of flight jackets throughout the 30's and 40's. The 1401 was one of several contracts awarded to them for A-2s, in 1941. Some A-2 Jackets, particularly those produced under earlier contracts from the 1930s and including some of those produced up to the early days of 1942, were finished in a rudimentary, pure aniline dye that gave the leather a very clear, almost-raw appearance that showed every detail of the underlying skin. This A-2 Flight Jacket is for the purest who appreciates all of the natural characteristics found in horsehide and in those early A-2 Flight Jackets, which includes deep grain leaping out in rivulets and valleys throughout the garment's hide. Every other nuance of the original contract has also been copied in this example: label, stitch style and count, shape and contour of pockets and epaulets, seam allowances, thread color, lining and knit color, inspector stampings, pocket labels, collar stand, ball-style press studs and collar clips. Original A-2 Jackets of the 1401 contract are quite rare, having seen real combat use from the outset of WWII to the end. Eastman's Rough Wear A-2 Jackets are part of their flagship line; nothing like this has been made since 1944.
