A predecessor to the legendary A-2, the Type A-1 Flight Jacket represents the very beginning of American military aviation style. First standardized by the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1927 and worn through the early years of World War II, the A-1 marked the evolution of flight apparel from civilian-inspired tailoring to purpose-built military outerwear. Crafted with a trim, refined silhouette, this jacket is traditionally produced in supple capeskin leather. Recognized for its lightweight comfort, luxurious feel, and effortless wearability, the A-1 jacket is made to be worn as a flight over-shirt. Authentic details remain true to the original military specification, including knitted wool cuffs, waistband and collar, a breathable cotton lining, and genuine horn button. More than just a jacket, the A-1 is a tribute to the pioneers of American aviation—an enduring piece of heritage designed to be worn for years to come.
