Rough Wear Clothing Co. was known as a A-2 flight jacket contractor having a particularly productive factory. This model was the third of the 1942 contract for Rough Wear, which filled a total of five orders. The U.S. Army Air Corps mandated the labeling of "Property Air Force" on each jacket part way through 1942, so two labels are sewn on top of each other, creating the so-called twopiece label. This A-2 has an imposing silhouette that is typical of Rough Wear jackets, such as a large collar with a collar stand. The leather used for this model is tanned by soaking Italian raw hides in a tank with tannin extracted from bark, and then slowly tanning them over time while adjusting the concentration. After being carefully tanned, seal brown aniline dye is rubbed into the leather by craftsmen. The slight unevenness in color is the hallmark of handcrafting and is a finish treasured also by leather aficionados. Compared to lacquered leather, aniline dye-finished leather has a more transparent color, so it is easier for the leather itself to reveal its look through use and aging. The astringent fluid and dye penetrate deep into the leather, allowing this jacket's look to be enhanced with each wear.
Due to the characteristics of the material and the method of finishing, there may be slight individual differences in the dimensions of each part. Also, depending on the settings and environment of your device, the color of the product may differ slightly from the actual color. Please note.
