Pherrow's C.C.MASTERS A-2 Flight Jacket Repro (XS)

Pherrow's C.C. Masters A-2 is an extremely faithful and high quality reproduction of the original A-2 US Air Force's Cooper-type flight jacket, issued to American pilots during World War II; it is just about the next best thing to being issued the genuine article back in the 1940s. The leather is nearly like new and fits snugly: This seller is 5'9" and 130 lbs and find it to be tighter than my liking. This jacket will only become more beautiful and comfortable with wear, eventually gaining the lived-in distressed look of leather bomber jackets and molding to the wearer's body, and I think it's true home is with someone other than me. The ribbing on the sleeves has some slight wear and there are sparse bits of weathering on the leather as noted in the photos. I think this would make a magnificent statement piece for a smaller wearer, and the nature of its bespoke construction makes it destined to become a reliable everyday companion.
