50 Cal. A-2 Jacket 1942 Rugged Classic

    Released in July 2008 2008년 7월 출시된 신제품, the .50 Cal. is the newest A-2 flying jacket to join the august ranks of other superior-quality flying jackets we offer from Eastman Leather Clothing. This model will appeal to those who are looking for that rugged-grain, tough, vintage look in an A-2 jacket while not being so out-of-the-box in appearance. The secret to this A-2 jacket’s rugged, less-than-new look is the hide type employed and the special .50-Cal. treatment. The .50-Cal. A-2 is manufactured from specially selected, old-fashioned, veg-tanned, rugged-grain steer hide in dark seal brown; these hides are processed differently from any of our other Eastman A-2’s. Plus, they have had the .50-Cal. treatment! The .50-Cal. process is another of our specially developed treatments to give a new jacket a patina of initial wear. The Pearl Harbor A-2s have our “Time-Worn” treatment, which combines breaking with scuffing, creating a well-aged, well-worn look. But the .50 Cal. involves breaking and burnishing the hides WITHOUT scuffing, to achieve a more-subtle vintage appearance without looking well-worn. After initial trials of the .50-Cal. process, we were so knocked out by the outcome, we just knew diehard A-2 jacket enthusiasts were going to love it. Please click the link for larger, detailed images on this web site to see just how good this leather looks after the .50-Cal. treatment. This process is performed entirely by hand and no two jackets will ever be exactly alike; as you can imagine, the .50-Cal. treatment takes hours of labor and a keen master’s eye to achieve. Once the hide is broken-in using our special treatment, the jacket is placed on a body form where it rests to take its shape; after several hours drying time, it is then worked on to subtly burnish the high spots to a beautiful glazed glow. Please keep in mind - the jacket is still brand new and not in any way worn or damaged, but you get a new A-2 jacket that has a vintage, mildly lived-in patina that will continue to look better the more you personalize the jacket through use. This A-2 just looks very cool the first time you step out your door, without the just-out-of-the-box look. It’s truly a unique A-2 jacket that’s quite different from our other offerings under the Eastman A-2 range. The .50 Cal. has all of the little, important details that help differentiate one original A-2 contractor from another – details synonymous with the pedigree of historical accuracy found in the goods we offer: The A-2 pattern, shoulder straps, pocket flaps, collar shape, stitching style, different-color trim parts for the cotton lining and wool knit, and the larger ring-style press studs and, last but not least, our latest 1942-model Crown zipper! This zipper makes its debut in this product; after a resounding success with the release of our 1941-model Crown last year, our latest version puts the icing on the cake as far as authenticity is concerned. The leather and trim color, collar configuration, pocket flaps, etc, are typical of 1942 manufacture from the largest wartime contractor of A-2 jackets located in Beacon, New York. It’s a tough-looking jacket with a tough name … the .50-Cal. A-2 is ready for action!
