The A-2 is the original American flight jacket silhouette — fitted through the body, with a shirt-style collar rather than the ribbed knit collar you see on later bomber designs. It's the style most people picture when they think of a “classic” leather bomber.
The A-2 leather bomber jacket is the flight jacket that set the template for every leather bomber since: a short body, a leather point collar, two front pockets and rib-knit cuffs and waistband. Our Tan A-2 is genuine full-grain sheepskin inspired by the 1930s original, in men's sizes S to 5XL, with free shipping across the USA on orders over $150. Explore more bomber jackets in our range.
This jacket is genuine leather and links straight to the product page, with photos, the size chart and full details.
A good A2 leather bomber jacket keeps the original details: a structured point collar, a wide placket over the zip, snap-flap patch pockets and rib-knit trim. Ours uses smooth full-grain sheepskin with a subtle semi-matte sheen rather than heavy distressing, so it looks clean and modern.
The A-2 is a short, waist-length jacket. It should sit at your belt line with the rib-knit waistband snug on your hips, and the sleeves should end around the wrist bone. Use the men's size chart on the product page.
Look closely at the Tan A-2 and you'll see what separates a real A-2 from a generic bomber: the point collar sits flat and structured, the wide leather placket covers the zip so the front looks clean, and the two lower patch pockets close with pointed flaps and snaps. At the back, a shoulder yoke and a single centre seam keep large areas of leather uninterrupted. Dark chocolate rib-knit at the cuffs and waistband grounds the warm tan colour and keeps the short, waist-length shape.
Flight jackets are short by tradition: the waistband should sit at your belt line and grip lightly at the hips, and the sleeves should finish around the wrist bone. A regular-fit flight jacket zips comfortably over a T-shirt or a thin knit. Use the men's or women's size chart on each product page and compare it with a jacket you already own.
Smooth leather needs little care if you do the basics. Hang it on a wide, shaped hanger so the shoulders keep their form. Wipe off dust with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and condition the leather once or twice a year so it stays supple. If it gets caught in the rain, blot it and let it dry naturally at room temperature - never on a radiator. Store it in a breathable cover, not plastic, over the summer.
A genuine leather bomber makes a gift that lasts for years - and leather is the traditional third-anniversary gift. Not sure of the size? Check a jacket they already own against the size chart before you order, or email us their measurements and we'll help you choose.
