Cockpit USA offers two versions of the classic A2 bomber: an original horse hide version with hook-and-eye closure and no side pockets, and a modern government issue version with snap collar and side entry pockets. Both are durable, though horse hide takes years to develop patina.
Strength
- Durable leather construction
- Original horse hide version has authentic vintage styling with hook-and-eye collar closure
- Modern version includes practical side entry pockets and snap-down collar for today's wear
- Horse hide ages beautifully over time with character development
Weakness
- Original horse hide version lacks side entry pockets
- Horse hide is very tough and takes years to develop desired patina
