Winter is well underway, and so the time has probably come for you to purchase for yourself a flight jacket - which could closely resemble the A-2 flight jacket of yesteryear. The A-2 flying jacket is now closely replicated by some manufacturers who stick to the original design and detailing on the classic flight jacket, as seen in the World War era, and so they reproduce a stunning piece of history fitted to your personal specifications.

The A-2 flying jacket was one of the most sought after jackets of its time, as it was a standardised piece of kit for US Air Force fighter pilots. These World War flight jackets were characterised by the heavy duty leather they were made from, as well as details such as the wraparound collar, snug fitting cuffs and waist, and zipper closure with wind flaps. Most of these jackets were either lined with wool or fur, and some were also fringed with fur as well. The A-2 flying jacket eventually became a limited issue for US Air Force Personnel, and finally gave way to other modifications. The design and style of the original jacket has survived into the modern world, though, and leather jacket enthusiasts search the market for them. Places like Cirrus online store are the best place to look if you want to get a genuine replica.

If you purchase an item from Cirrus, you can hope to receive an item that has been authentically tailored, as we ensure the flight jackets we produce come with heavy duty brass zippers and buckles closely matching the specifications of the classic World War II classics. The B3 bomber jacket which is also available from Cirrus, is an equally authentic classic design, with its cut, stitching and material being as close to the original as we can get. Bomber jackets like this were not restricted to pilots in the War, and their colourful designs made them great pieces of flight wear for the rest of the crew.

Please take a moment to visit the website of Cirrus at www.cirrusuk.co.uk to browse the wide number of styles and materials available in the A-2 and B3 bomber jacket that are closely manufactured to the designs of the Second World War as possible. Getting a flight jacket tailored according to your exact specification is a much better investment than buying an ill-fitting readymade jacket.
