Check inside a pocket or under the hem. \u003cstrong\u003eLook at the grain.\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural grain is irregular — the pores and creases never repeat. A printed grain repeats, usually every few inches, because it came off a roller. \u003cstrong\u003ePress it with a thumb.\u003c\/strong\u003e Real leather creases and wrinkles around the pressure and then relaxes; synthetic stays flat and springs straight back. \u003cstrong\u003eFeel the temperature.\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather warms to your hand within seconds; PU stays cool and slightly plasticky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat \"genuine leather\" means as a term\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing, because it is used confusingly. In grading terms, \"genuine leather\" historically referred to a lower split of the hide rather than a quality claim. When we say genuine leather we mean simply that the material is real animal hide rather than synthetic — and if you want the specific hide and grade for a particular jacket, message us before ordering and we will tell you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe A-2 pattern\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnit cuffs and waistband, shirt-style snap-down collar, wind flap behind the zip, flapped patch pockets, short body. Every detail solved a problem in an unheated cockpit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStated plainly: a fashion jacket in the A-2 style. Not military issue, no insignia, no air force affiliation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing and made to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure your chest over a T-shirt and buy close — the A-2 is meant to be snug and leather relaxes with wear. 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 leather collection.
