Buzz Rickson'sA-2 - ROUGH WEAR CLOTHING CO. - Contact No.23380 - BR80593

- This Type A-2 jacket Roughwear model is a reproduction by "Buzz Rickson's", based on vintage. Rough Wear Clothing Co. was known as an A-2 flight jacket contractor having a particularly productive factory. This model was the third of the 1942 contract for Rough Wear, which filled a total of five orders. The U.S. Army Air Corps mandated the labeling of "Property Air Force" on each jacket part way through 1942, so two labels are sewn on top of each other, creating the so-called two-piece label. This A-2 has an imposing silhouette that is typical of Rough Wear jackets, such as a large collar with a collar stand. The leather used for this model is tanned by soaking Italian raw hides in a tank with tannin extracted from bark, and then slowly tanning them over time while adjusting the concentration. After being carefully tanned, seal brown aniline dye is rubbed into the leather by craftsmen. The slight unevenness in color is the hallmark of handcrafting and is a finish treasured also by leather aficionados. Compared to more transparent color, so it is easier for the leather itself to reveal its look through use and aging. The astringent fluid and dye penetrate deep into the leather, allowing this jacket's look to be enhanced with each wear. - Material: Bronco Hide (Finish / Aniline Hand) - Tanning: Aniline Hand - Lining: 100％ Cotton Broad Cloth - Fastener: Talon Mil Specs Nickel Finished - Knit Parts: 100% Wool - Neck Hook: Solid Brass Chrome Finished - Snap Button: Brass Oxidized Black Ball Stud Type - Label: Roughwear Clothing Co. - Model Wearing Size: 36 (Height 170cm / Weight 52kg)
