Vintage Avirex Type A-2 Flight Jacket Mens 40 Goatskin Leather Bomber Military
Classic vintage Avirex Type A-2 flight jacket crafted in durable goatskin leather with a rich oxblood / mahogany tone that stands out from standard brown bombers. This jacket at the leather is still soft and supple with no cracking and is absolutely wearable and built to last, it is not just a display item.
This piece was made in the USA during Avirex's peak late 80s-90s production era and features period-correct details including a Talon zipper, rib knit cuffs and waistband, flap front pockets, and shoulder epaulets. The leather has developed a beautiful natural patina that gives it that broken-in heritage look without sacrificing structure. This is a 1980s civilian version of the iconic WWII A-2 flight jacket, produced by Avirex Ltd. in New York and designed to reflect original military styling with contract-style labeling and authentic construction details. Jackets from this era are sought after for their heavier leather, USA manufacturing, and overall build quality compared to later mass-produced version.
