Size 42, Very Good Condition, some grayish soiling at the lower right front pocket, and some overall age wear. Spectacular chenille embroidered and Disney designed 5th Tow Target Squadron patch at the left chest, under the sewn leather name strip of "J.M. AUSTIN". Original AAF "TYPE A-2" woven nomenclature/maker's label of I. Spiewak & Sons at the inside neck, one of the scarcer makers of the A-2 to encounter today, whose jackets were notably crafted of goatskin rather than the traditional horsehide. Classic spun brown cotton lining, snap down collar, box and X stitched leather shoulder straps, hook and eye neck closure, original and fully functional front zipper, and original knit wool cuffs and waistband.
