Landing Leathers Men Air Force A-2 Leather Flight Bomber Jacket (Regular and Big & Tall)

I had one like this stolen ~40 years ago when I was in college in Brooklyn. I couldn’t afford to replace it and moved to Daytona Beach right after graduation. I’ve always wanted another one. Jensen Huang and an offer from my wife for Father’s Day finally got me to move on it. I was very much looking forward to trying it on when it got here.I got it tonight. This jacket is really well made, comfortable, a perfect fit using the sizing chart (a visual would help with the arm instructions), and will do well for most cold days in most parts of the country. I’ll probably get 15, maybe 30 days a year here in Orlando, FL if I push it. I may have to. The jacket looks sharp, too.I do really like it, like 6-stars!, and appreciate the company’s response to my “Signature Required” problem below. (I apologize for coming across irritated. I was). I can’t let this affect the rating I gave. Still, 5-stars. I am sharing for prospective customers and Amazon to know.I came home early afternoon, missed the UPS driver by like 10 minutes, and found a sticker on the door, “Signature Required”. I had to drive to a CVS the next day to pick it up. Disappointing, inconvenient, and annoying.I drive up there after I get done working (9 PM today, my day started at the gym at 5 AM), present the UPS ticket, and the lady asks me for my name , then my ID. The ticket states, bring this ticket to CVS, signature required. Nothing about ID required. Also annoying. Actually, I don’t care one way or the other on either of these. Just let me know is all I ask. I had to go back out to the Explorer for that, back into the store, and back on line.We’ve been Amazon customers since 2001 and had well over a thousand delivers. I don’t recall one ever missing, many costing more, nor any requiring a signature. We live in a great neighborhood and city. I’m thankful for that.I understand that this is the company policy. That’s cool. I don’t understand how it’s not disclosed anywhere. I could have had it shipped to the office, like I do wines.com. I could have arranged for my wife or me to work from home that day.Sports, please add that to the listing in a prominent and sensible place, like in the description or near the shipping. Amazon, please add a “Signature Required” option for sellers and a notice prominently displayed to buyers alongside the shipping information.Thank you.

Well crafted and fits to size, very good leather coat

I bought this for my Nephew , he didn't know what to expect, Baby Soft Leather and Very Well Made , kids been smiling for days TY

The jacket is really heavy. It weighs a lot more than previous ones I have owned. So if weight of the jacket is a factor this one is pretty heavy.

Lighter leather not as hot as some good for spring fall.

Jacket was heavier than I expected but it also keeps your warm. My only real complaint was the misleading description leading you to believe it might be American made.

This is a great "bomber-style" jacket at the price.First - the so-called bomber jacket was introduced for American fliers in the early 1930's. They had some distinctive features and were treasured items for those who received them. Apparently, original bomber jackets in good condition can cost upwards of $1000 today.Second - when you buy this jacket, it is important that you understand what you are getting (and not getting) so you will not be disappointed.What it is NOT - this is not an original, authentic US Airforce A2 bomber jacket. It is not correct in every detail. For instance, original specs called for a single piece leather back, for comfort and durability. This jacket has a three piece leather back (nothing wrong with that, it is the same as my fancy and very costly dressy leather jacket in my closet). It is leather, but the originals were specifically made from goat or horse leather (the type of leather is not specified in this jacket). The original jackets were cut very tight across the waist and shoulders and did not have dual entry pockets - a handwarmer pocket behind the patch pockets on the front (more recent genuine jackets, starting in the 1980's, had a fuller cut and dual entry pockets - this jacket features a fuller cut and dual entry pockets, like the more recent versions, and these features add to the comfort level).What it IS - this is a very well made jacket of soft but durable leather. I have had mine for about 3 weeks and am very pleased. A history buff may notice that it is not accurate in all details, but to everyone else this is a very cool looking "bomber jacket". The lining is soft but strong, and the jacket will keep you warm in weather down to about 45 degrees. It is not a ski jacket, it will probably not keep you warm in extreme cold (even the original was not intended to keep fliers warm at very high altitudes). The jacket is cut full enough to wear a thin sweater underneath. I find that it is true to size (I bought a medium, same size as my other leather jacket). The jacket even has a genuine YKK zipper, a quality detail. Like all fine leather, it had a strong leather smell when new, and is now fading away.Looking around online, you can certainly buy a bomber jacket more accurate in detail, but it will cost about $100 to $400 more. For me, that is irrelevant. If you spend the money, YOU will be the only one to notice the difference.All in all, I don't think you can find a better made, more typical looking bomber jacket than this one at this price. I believe you will be very satisfied. I know I am.

I bought this jacket for my husband for Christmas.He had picked it out, and he doesn't always have the best taste in clothes. (When I met him in 2006, he was still wearing Cosby sweaters. The show ended in 1992. Don't worry, he has other fabulous attributes that make up for this.)So even though it looked nice online, I was unsure if it would look good in person.It's fantastic. The leather has that great worn feel. The style is flattering on his 53-year-old dad bod. It's heavy and warm enough to wear on milder winter days.He loves it. I love it on him. Buy it.

Well made garment using nice thick and soft leather. I would recommend this A-2 style jacket.

This item was sent backIt was the most hideous garment I have ever purchasedOf course If I had of known by the way it was shown on Amazon, I would never have purchased itThe Amazon to their refunded and wouldn’t except it’s return.I couldn’t give it away so it finished in the garbage.

It's a really well-made jacket, loads better than the one it replaced. Much stronger leather and a heavier lining. Very nice.If you go for this, be careful with the sizing - you won't want to have to send it back. I used the size chart in the vendor's photos, be careful to avoid the Amazon Size Guide. I'm 5'8" and 40" chest I ordered a Medium instead of a Large (like my old Aviatrix jacket). It fits fine though the shoulders are pretty broad.I took a bit of a punt ordering the jacket as reviews had said that it came from the US. There was nothing on the Amazon page to indicate this and the vendor even called themselves Landing Leathers UK. But sure enough, the jacket came from the States, took a week and a half or so to arrive and I had to pay a £20 customs charge. I was only miffed at this, rather than angry, as I'd seen warnings in several reviews.

It’s nice and warm now it’s getting colder

１７８ｃｍ・８５ｋｇなのでＬＸサイズと思いましたが、アメリカサイズなのでＬサイズでＯＫと言われました。到着後着てみるとピッタリでした。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。
