Why choose the A-2 USAF 21st Century jacket?

Choosing this model means appropriating a piece of aviation history without sacrificing modern comfort. Unlike vintage reproductions that are often too rigid or short, this "21st Century" version offers optimal freedom of movement. Goat leather is particularly appreciated for its ability to stand the test of time, developing a unique patina, while remaining light to wear.

Laura’s opinion:

"The detail that makes the difference on this model is the discreet integration of the hand pockets on the sides, a modern development absent from the 1941 models. This is the jacket that I recommend for a 'chic adventurer' style: it can be worn just as well with a simple white t-shirt as with a denim shirt. It's an investment that you never tire of."

FAQ:

What is the storage capacity of this jacket? It has two large front pockets secured by snaps, lined with side entry points for the hands, as well as interior pockets for your personal belongings (wallet, phone).

How do I care for the goat leather on my jacket? Goat leather is naturally water resistant. A gentle cleansing milk applied once or twice a year is enough to maintain its suppleness. Avoid direct heat sources if the leather is wet.

What size should I choose for this "21st Century" model? This model fits normally. We advise you to take your usual ready-to-wear size for a fitted and elegant fit.

Is the collar removable? No, the shirt collar is fixed, faithful to the official specifications of the US Air Force for the A-2 model.

Can this jacket be worn in winter? This is a great mid-season jacket. For winter, its cut allows you to slip a light wool sweater underneath, but it is not designed for extreme temperatures.
