This is an early model Buzz Rickson's TYPE A-2 flight jacket, commonly known as the "M model (M83145)". The M model, which is said to be more rugged and have thicker leather than the current BR models, is a rare model that is now difficult to obtain. Furthermore, it is a reproduction of the highly popular ROUGH WEAR model among the many A-2s, and features a "red rib" specification that stands out against the seal brown leather. The "ORDER NO. 42-18775-P" on the collar tag indicates that it reproduces the 1942 model of the prestigious ROUGH WEAR company, which had five delivery contracts at the time. 【Details】 Model Number: M83145 Model: ROUGH WEAR CLOTHING CO. Reproduction (AC-18775-P) Material: Italian horsehide (horse leather) Lining: 100% cotton Broadcloth based on the specifications of the time is used. Size: 36 (equivalent to S) Please refer to the measurement photos for actual measurements. Color: Seal Brown (red rib specification) 【Condition】 ☆ Ribs ☆ There are a few holes in the ribs of both sleeves (see image 9). ☆ Leather ☆ There are some slight scuffs on the leather of both sleeves, but they blend in as a vintage feel (photos 17 and 18). ☆ Leather Texture ☆ The leather still has some stiffness, and you can enjoy aging (secular change) by wearing it and conforming it to your body shape. It has a specification without a collar base (the base of the collar), and the "wearability" that is characteristic of ROUGH WEAR is reproduced. ☆ Other ☆ There are no other noticeable damages, and it is in good condition for its age. The stencil on the left sleeve also remains clean. It has the overwhelming presence unique to the early Buzz Rickson's. If you were looking for one, please consider this opportunity.
