Description

As the credited suppliers of the flight jackets (and other associated apparel) to the blockbuster movie Pearl Harbor, we are proud to offer our special edition 'Time Worn' Pearl Harbor A-2.

As you may well have noticed we offer the Time Worn finish on many of our jackets now. However it was the Pearl Harbor A-2 where this popular and convincing aging technique was first introduced.

We refer to this model A-2 as the Pearl Harbor because it was precisely this specification A-2 that we supplied for the film; an Eastman A-2 with the pre-war style collar and used appearance - 'Time Worn'.

'Time Worn' was a process that we developed as a consequence of a request from the movie makers to supply 'used' looking flight jackets. This is a process that has been honed over the years to produce an extremely authentic vintage looking garment.

Made from high quality veg-tanned Horsehide this model A-2 is available in a choice of two shades: American Walnut and the slightly lighter Havana brown. It has a rugged, broken-grain vintage appearance that is appreciated on so many of those original A-2s we so dearly love the look of.
