LL BEAN A-2 STYLE JACKETS
MADE IN THE USA
Two Lined in Shearling!
MADE IN THE USA
Two Lined in Shearling!
Aside from the beautiful reproduction A-2 jackets offered by the likes of Eastman and Aero LL Bean has (until recently) consistently offered some very high-quality and good-looking civilian options. Often branded as "Flying Tigers" jackets Bean's offerings are very reasonably priced, extremely well-made, and exceptionally durable, being cut from sturdy garment-grade goatskin that has a wonderful grain--this will only get better and more characterful with use.
I'm thus very pleased to offer three today--all of which feature a mouton collar, and two of which are lined in shearling!
1) LL Bean Shearling Lined A-2 style jacket.
This jacket features knit cuffs, a heavy YKK zipper closure, and a snap-shut interior security pocket that is vertically set into the seam and which closes with a snap (one of the most requested features on Aero jackets). It also features two flapped and snap-shut front bellows pockets on the front--these also incorporate handwarmer pockets. This was cut from sturdy garment-grade goatskin that has a wonderful grain--this will only get better and more characterful with use.
This jacket is lined in wonderful, thick shearling wool. It has a one-piece back, and was Made in the USA--features that are no longer available on Bean's current models.
This jacket is in excellent condition.
Asking just $125, OR OFFER, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA.
Tagged a 40L (black label) this measures:
Chest: 22
Sleeve: 27
Shoulder: 20
Length (top of collar): 28
Length (bottom of collar) 25.
