Outer shell : Made from 100% pure, thick horsehide leather in a rich seal brown, this jacket is both vegetable and chrome-tanned, resulting in a pigmented, genuine horse hide that is firm yet supple to the touch. It has a rugged grain and an old-fashioned appearance on the fabric's surface, contributing to its fashionable vintage feel and look. This heavyweight, real leather merges durability with natural softness, ensuring comfort in wear. Although horsehide is inherently tough, it remains pliable. It is characteristic of horsehide not to have a smooth surface, resulting in many wrinkles. These wrinkles, unique to horsehide, give the jacket a distinct appeal, different from smoother leathers. Such wrinkles are normal in a horsehide jacket and are not considered defects. For a vintage appearance, the leather of this jacket retains the original tastes of horsehide.

Lining shell : Made of 100% cotton thin, lightweigt, density and tightness weave broadcloth fabric. This lining is smooth and sleek so you can take the jacket off and put it on easily.

Type of insulation : No inside padding. No fill.

Placket type : Front zipper closure from War Time TALON with storm flap located in front of zipper closure. The zipper is covered with a storm flap. Storm flap prevents the wind from slipping through the front.

Pocket : Two flap pockets with hidden snap buttons on the lower front section of the jacket.

Collar : The jacket includes a collar with a collar band, enhancing its appearance with a crisper look, complemented by a metal collar clip for added style. Additionally, it features ball-and-socket-style hidden press studs at the ends of the collar, ensuring a secure and streamlined closure.

Cuff type : The two-ply knit rib cuffs in brown color with the narrow weave graduating into the wider weave at top.

Pattern Type : Hand Painted US Air Force Rank Insignia on the Shoulders. "V HILTS" Embossed Leather Name Tag on left side chest. United States Army Air Corps Shoulder Sleeve Insignia Paint on left arm. USAAF authentic inspector's stamp and V. HILTS 0817218 applied to lining.
