BR80644 Type A-2 'CONTRACT No. W535 ac-21996 BUZZ RICKSON CLO.CO.'\" by BUZZ RICKSON'S is a reproduction of an A-2 flight jacket from the Aero Leather Clothing Company, which began manufacturing A-2 jackets for the US Army Air Forces in the late 1930s. According to Buzz Rickson's research, Aero Leather was one of the contractors with the highest delivery numbers among all A-2 manufacturers—an indication of the company's comparatively stable production capacity. The model for this jacket is a piece from the fifth production series, delivered in 1941. Starting with this production series, Aero Leather abandoned the stand-up collar featured in the four preceding series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt is crafted from Bronco Hide, a vegetable-tanned horsehide in Seal Brown. It features 100% wool rib-knit cuffs and hem in red—out of the 18 contractors and 39 total production series under this procurement program, this color scheme was used exclusively by Aero Leather and is considered a hallmark of the manufacturer. The jacket is lined with 100% cotton broadcloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBR80644 \/ Type A-2 “CONTRACT No.W535 ac-21996 BUZZ RICKSON CLO.CO.” 01) S\/BROWN (NO STENCIL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHorsehide (Bronco Hide)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVegetable-tanned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Seal Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLining: Broadcloth, 100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eZipper: Talon, nickel-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRib-knit: 100% wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollar hook: Brass, MIL-Spec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSnap fasteners: Brass, ring-stud type\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e2 front pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRegular fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buzz Rickson’s","offers":[{"title":"40","offer_id":58689476821373,"sku":"248952","price":2310.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"42","offer_id":58689476854141,"sku":"248969","price":2310.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"44","offer_id":58689476886909,"sku":"248976","price":2310.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1822\/1117\/files\/buzz-ricksons-br80644-a-2-clothing-w535-leather-jacket-brown-_DSC7147.jpg?v=1789651389","url":"https:\/\/www.burgundschild.com\/en\/products\/a-2-clo-w535","provider":"Burg \u0026 Schild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
