    A-1

    Yes, The jacket on the right is not an A-1 either. It is a civilian Golf / hunting jacket from the 1920's. It is made of suede or nubuck and they were common. It has been theorized that the A-1 was based on the design of just that type of sport jacket. It's funny in this case. With those...

    Headwind A-1 Racer - New Aniline Dyed Seal Steerhide

    I thought I would temp you with some more detail shots. This full grain aniline steer hide is very nice. I think that if people could pick it up and try it on, it would already be sold. Note the stitching in the detail shots. Tight, straight, and high thread count. 8 to 9 stitches per inch on...

    Ideal leather for spring/summer?

    Capeskin leather is Perfect for warmer weather. The hide is from a specific breed of sheep originally from The Cape of Good Hope, but now the breed is raised elsewhere as well. It has a unique grain and soft texture. It is so pliable that it nearly feels like cloth when worn. In my mind it is...

    A2 Re-Dyes.

    Interesting. That sounds like a spray on conditioner rather than a dye but I'll bet the process was similar.

    A2 Re-Dyes.

    Yes it was. Later on in the war when jackets were turned in, they were sent back to the depot to be refurbished and they were re dyed seal while there. Some were actually sent back to the original MFG for refurb and re dye. It was done in part because of all the variance in colors that the A-2's...
