We last manufactured our Kangaroo Modern A-2 Leather Bomber Jacket more than 10 years ago. Now it is being offered once again, in the classic A-2 style in this outstanding leather! Besides being a rather rare and unique jacket material, Kangaroo-hide is outstanding for its practicality. It is lighter than goatskin, horsehide, lambskin or cowhide (the most commonly used leather types for A-2 jackets), but it's much stronger and more durable. Please note: The hides will display naturally occurring scratches, scuffs, and other range marks which adds character to the jacket. This leather is regulated and certified by the Australian Government. Each jacket is individually handmade by our skilled artisans using the finest Kangaroo leather from a small craft tannery in Australia. Our exclusive leather is tanned using old-school dyeing and finishing techniques to accentuate the full grain, color variances and natural imperfections of each hide. Due to the size of the kangaroo skins, sizes Large and above may have a two piece back panel. The Kangaroo Modern A-2 Leather Bomber Jacket us made from 100% Kangaroo leather that is regulated and certified by the Australian Government. It has a snap-down collar, stitched-down epaulets, brass zipper, knit cuffs & waistband, two front cargo pockets with side-entry hand warmer pockets, and an inside pocket. The jacket will be a beautiful brown. History of the A-2: The Type A-2 flying jacket was standardized by the U.S. Army Air Corps as the successor to the Type A-1 flying jacket in 1931. The A-2 has sturdy snaps and reinforced pockets, a snap down shirt-style collar could be closed completely in order to protect the pilot from the wind. In addition, it replaced the A-1's buttoned front with a zipper for added protection against the elements in the open cockpit. NOTE: A signature upon delivery is required for this item.
