Description
First introduced by the Army Air Corps in 1931, as the “ Jacket, Flying, Type A-2”, it was the successor of the Type A-1 Flight jacket. The Type A-2 was designed for open cockpits, which explains the sturdy snaps and reinforced pockets. The A-2’s collar could be closed completely in order to protect the wearer from the wind and the rather slim, functional cut was ideal for the cramped cockpit.
The characteristic design features of the Type A-2 were its front pockets with pointed flaps, the tight, ribbed wool cuffs, the riveted eyelet underneath each armpit, epaulettes (shoulder flaps) and a shirt like button down collar.

Material
IMPORTED AUSTRALIA WOOL
Wool is considered an environmentally and socially responsible fibre for numerous reasons. It is organically occurring, 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable and growing wool with sustainable and regenerative practices can enhance biodiversity, soil health and carbon sequestration for this generation and the generations to come.
Every year, sheep produce a new fleece, making wool a renewable fibre, and as wool is an organically occurring fibre, it is also natural and biodegradable.
