The Schott Antique Lambskin A-2 Flight Jacket is a true classic, crafted from incredibly soft and supple antiqued lambskin. This premium leather is designed to age beautifully, ensuring that your jacket will only get softer and develop a unique, “battle-worn” character over time.
Adding to its historical authenticity, the jacket features a special escape map lining. This detail harks back to the European theater of operations during WWII, when pilots from the 8th, 9th, 12th, and 15th divisions—flying iconic B-17 and B-24 bombers, as well as P-38, P-47, and P-51 fighters—would hand-sew maps into their jackets. In the event they were shot down behind enemy lines, this map would serve as a vital tool for navigating back to allied troops.
