The 429th Fighter Bombardment Squadron (429th FBS) was established as a combat squadron during World War II, and after a postwar suspension, jumped back into the fray as a fighter bomb squadron during the Korean War. The leather SQ patch and Fifth Air Force leather craft patch, as well as a gorgeous Marilyn Monroe design by Hiroshi Okamoto, are also noteworthy.
The leather flight jacket “TYPE A-2” was a summer flight jacket officially adopted by the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1931.
It is a masterpiece of leather flight jackets, with an estimated production of about 700,000 pieces until 1943.
While the A-1 and other A-2 jackets had previously been button-fastened, the adoption of zippers on the A-2 dramatically improved its functionality, and it became the standard for all flight jackets from then on.
The back of the A-2 is a luxurious single piece of leather, so a custom paint job that utilizes the entire backside would look great.
The collar is equipped with snap buttons and neck hooks, so you can change the impression around the neck by changing the way it is fastened or by bending the collar.
The shoulders are equipped with epaulettes for a masculine look.
The 5th Air Force emblem on the left sleeve has been designed with an eye-catching leather crafted design with fine stitch work.
The left and right pockets are flap pockets with snap buttons.
The pockets are not designed to serve as hand warmers, as it was inappropriate for soldiers to have their hands in the pockets.
The sleeves and hem are 100% wool ribbed for a good fit.
The ribbed sleeves are knit in a seamless loop, and the low and high gauges are used separately for a better fit and to prevent wind from entering through the gaps.
The front has a zipper closure with a placket.
The zipper with leather pulls is a large war-style Talon zipper.
The lining is decorated with names and stencils.
The leather is made of horsehide, which has a deep luster, and it ages attractively as it is worn, including the changes in expression such as wrinkles and luster.
The lining is made of horsehide.
The length is short and clean, the silhouette of the flight jacket's royal road.
The wrinkles will become more noticeable as the jacket is worn, so we recommend wearing the jacket in a true-to-size fit.
