Distressing is a real process with real variation, and knowing how it is done tells you what to expect from the jacket in the box. It sits in our aviator and pilot leather jackets range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine leather with a hand-distressed finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic A-2 cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front zip with knitted cuffs and waistband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distressed brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry wipe, clear conditioner twice a year, do not attempt to even out the finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow leather is distressed\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things happen. The hide is finished with a darker pigment over a lighter base and then rubbed back by hand, so raised areas sit light and creases hold dark. Then the assembled jacket is physically worked — flexed, tumbled, and hand-rubbed at the shoulders, elbows, cuffs and front edges — to break the surface exactly where years of wear would break it. The result is uneven by design. Two jackets from the same run will differ noticeably, and a distressed jacket that looked machine-uniform would be a printed imitation of the effect rather than the effect itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to expect, and what not to worry about\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect variation in tone across the panels, lighter shoulders and elbows, and dark creasing at the sleeve folds. None of that is a fault. What would be a fault is cracking in the surface, tacky patches, or colour that comes off on a cloth — none of which distressing causes. Do not try to even out the finish with conditioner; a pigmented conditioner will fill the light areas and flatten the whole effect. Use a clear one, sparingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe A-2 specification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnitted cuffs and waistband to seal warm air in, a shirt-style snap-down collar that lies flat, a wind flap behind the zip, and flapped patch pockets. Short body, close chest. Every detail solved a problem in an unheated cockpit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStated plainly: this is a fashion jacket in the A-2 style. It is not military issue, carries no insignia or squadron markings, and has no affiliation with any air force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing and made to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure your chest over a T-shirt and buy close — an oversized A-2 loses its shape. Sizes run XS to 5XL, with Custom taking chest, waist, shoulder, sleeve, and body length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShop Related Styles at Leather Outlet\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the aviator and pilot leather jackets, our bomber leather jackets, the men leather jackets range, or B3 leather bomber jackets.

Distressing is done by hand, so tone and wear placement vary between jackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs the distressing damage?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a finish. Cracking, tackiness, or colour coming off on a cloth would be faults; uneven tone is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I even out the finish?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot without ruining it. A pigmented conditioner fills the light areas and flattens the effect. Use a clear one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs this military issue?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a fashion jacket in the A-2 style, with no insignia and no air force affiliation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs the leather genuine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, real hide throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDo you offer custom sizing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
