    A2's, do you miss handwarmer pockets?

    I prefer NO handwarmer pockets on my A2, the style looks sleeker and more authentic without the hand warmers hand warmers take away the classic looks of the A2 I prefer the original flap pockets because they are more secure for putting extra cash, loose change, papers, pocket watch, etc

    cant find any maker's markings, the metal does have a lot of age to it and shows pitting, maybe themarkings wore off? I agree that it's probably from the teens and twenties era

    is it safe to wear a WWII vintage leather flight jacket?

    seems like the materials would be dry rotted / fragile just from age? and the leather would be stiff and dry after so many years? I think it's best to buy a well made repro for actual wearing, something that has a lot of use left in it. vintage are best for collecting , not wearing
