Mens Rare 1988 Army Air Force Avirex Type A-2 XL Full Leather Jacket

  

Listed here is one Men's rare vintage 1988 XLarge Army Air Force Avirex Type A-2 full leather bomber jacket. It displays the famous Lucky Strike Design on the back side. This, and similar designs, are taken from WW2 nose-art found on B-17 and B-29 bombers. There were hundreds of designs, allowing the crews to invent their own art with little or no resistant from Military Brass.

Their Avirex Type A-2 jacket displayed the nose-art found on the bomber they were assigned to. This heavy classic leather jacket was hand-crafted in Korea.

They are known for their fine workmanship especially with garments. This bomber jacket was made from top grade leather. The back side was cut and formed from one large single piece of leather, giving it a pristine and rich appearance. Having a one piece back is choice and preferred, but costs more to produce. So overall, there are fewer pieces of hide to contend with.

This jacket is extremely comfortable to wear. The leather's appearance used in this rare jacket is known as "Distressed Leather". Distressed leather is a specific manufacturing technique in which a new garment is purposely processed to appear in a "used condition". This is similar to what Fender and Gibson guitar companies do when they desire to show a high-end guitar to appear well used. The appearance of the leather used in this garment is created by a special hand tanning process and is designed to look older with wearing. Jacket has two front pockets with snaps, and two inside pockets. One outside pocket has a slot for pen or pencil Leather is black. Lining is soft quilted satin with 50% Nylon and 50% Acetate. Art work and instruction panels are there and Knit trim is included. Bought it around the end of the 1980's to be used as a 2nd motorcycle jacket in support of other riding gear. So the jacket is like-new with no pin holes, or damage from motorcycle patches removed No stains, spots, abrasions, distortions or distractions. See all photographs for more detail and information. Without a doubt, this bomber jacket will give the owner an edgy, intrepid, dauntless and adventurous look to anyone wearing it. Garment must be in original condition as sent and received.
