Available Leather


We have a number of leather types available, and there will be more as we establish more relationships with tanneries.

Goatskin: russet brown, vegetable–tanned


Russet Goatskin

Our goatskin is incredible - it looks and feels like goatskin used on many A-2 jackets in WWII. The shade is a dull russet brown, and the finish will show wear over time. The weight of the leather is between 2 and 3 ounces.

Horsehide: seal brown, vegetable–tanned


Seal Brown Horsehide

This seal brown horsehide is an excellent choice for darker jackets. The hide has grainy and smooth areas just as originals did. Seal brown is available now, and russet will also soon be available. The weight of this leather is 2 to 2.5 ounces.

Horsehide: russet brown, chrome–tanned


Russet Brown Horsehide

This russet brown horsehide is chrome–tanned, yet it looks great compared to WWII horsehide. The finish and texture are completely accurate. The color is almost the same as our goatskin, a perfect shade of dull mid-brown. The weight of this leather is 2.5 to 3 ounces.

Cowhide: russet brown, oil-finished, vegetable–tanned


Russet Cowhide

This cowhide has tremendous character, and with the oil finish, it will age in a manner similar to those WWII A-2s with a very well–worn surface...don't be surprised if people think you've been flying for years with this hide. The weight of this leather is 2 to 3 ounces.

Cowhide: russet brown, vegetable–tanned


Russet Cowhide

This russet cowhide is thick and the surface has huge natural grain. The leather is rather heavy and the natural grain is stronger in some areas than others. The surface color will slowly wear on the edges to the tan base color, giving a jacket a fantastic aged look over time. The weight of this leather is 2.5 to 3.5 ounces.

Cowhide: dark russet brown, vegetable–tanned


Russet Cowhide

This cowhide has a strong reddish finish in dark russet, with a tan base. The finish has some oil to it, so over time, it will age beautifully. The grain is natural and uneven, with some areas very strong. The weight of this leather is 2 to 2.5 ounces.

Cowhide: seal brown, vegetable–tanned


Seal Cowhide

This seal brown cowhide has a dark yellow-chocolate shade, and there's plenty of natural grain. The leather will show wear, but the base color is not too light, so it'll have a clean look even with lots of intense wear. The weight of this leather is 2 to 2.5 ounces.

Cowhide: seal brown, vegetable–tanned


Seal Cowhide

This seal brown cowhide looks like a brand new WWII A-2's leather right out of the box. The natural grain is just amazing, and more intense than most other leathers. Customers love this hide, and it has to be seen to fully appreciate how excellent it is. The weight of this leather is 2 to 2.5 ounces.
