Genuine Horsehide leather
Of all the heroes from WWll, the American Volunteer Group (A.V.G.) have remained one of the most honored. Known better as the "Flying Tigers", these brave soldiers went to China as civilians to fly and fight, even before the U.S. officially entered WWll. In dedication to these men, Cockpit has created an incredible Horsehide A-2 Flying Tigers flight jacket that anyone would be proud to wear. Made from genuine front quarter Horsehide leather, this garment will age gracefully as the jacket is worn. Trim fit.
Please note: As in the original WWII design, this Flying Tigers jacket does not feature side entry pockets.
