WWII US AAF AERO A-2 LEATHER HORSEHIDE FLIGHT JACKET CONTRACT 42-18775-P SIZE 48

Description: For your consideration is a beautiful WWII Arlo (Aero) A-2 Jacket Contract 42-18775-P, in dark russet Horsehide with Aero brick knits in Size 48. Measurements: Pit to pit - 25" Front length - 23.5" Back length - 26" Shoulder - 20.5" Arm - 26" This is an exact reproduction from Headwind Mfg of the Aero 42-18775-P contract from 1942. All pattern details and features were copied from a real 1942 original jacket. Headwind is known for producing unique historic flight jackets and the Aero contracts, with their "Red Brick" Color knits found only on these jackets, making them a standout among the WWII A-2 jackets. The name Arlo was chosen for the label as the Aero name is under copyright restrictions. The leather drape on this horsehide is exceptional, and reminiscent of original A-2's photographed during the war. The pattern is from the 1940's when sizes ran smaller. This contract had a slightly more roomy fit than some of the other contracts in the shoulders and torso. The jacket is in excellent condition, barely worn, no issues. Features: Leather: Dark Russet Horsehide Thread: Med Brown Liner: 100% Cotton Mustard Color Knits: 100% Worsted Wool - Brick Red Zipper: Nickel or Brass M39 Talon Reproduction Zipper - With the proper 1940's "C" top stops Snaps: Matching Blackened Large Ring Type Hooks: Nickel Plated Brass Unique Features Of This Contract: Red Brick Knits Mustard Color Liner Blackened Large Ring Snaps Blackened Vent Eyelets Unique Label Attachment (Stitching comes down off of the neck line, around the label, then back up to neck line) The item pictured is the item you'll receive. Thanks for looking and good luck.
