A2 Flying Jacket vest

[Roughwear]

This 1942 Perry Sportswear A2 has had the sleeves, knits and lining removed to make a vest. Just the thing to layer under a B-3!

in the description the seller say that it is a common use by the bikers

It was probably cut down years ago when A2 jackets could be bought very cheaply and worn to ride a motor bike.

No..instead..I ripped the sleeves out of an Irvin...dyed it HD orange and black...and painted a Willie G skull on the back. Then hand rubbed Harley oil all over the hide(not too much)...packed it in Hoosier snow for the winter..and pulled it outa the puddle when the Easter Lillies bloomed. It looks badass with only just a little mange.
