A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket 184SM

Fantastic Jacket. Materials and workmanship great ! Could not be happier !

Finally bought one after kicking it around for a year, That was a waste of time could have had it a year sooner!
This is a jacket, you can tell as soon as you pick it up it's gonna last!Loveit I'm not sure if I am breaking it in or if it's breaking me in either way I wish the cold would stay a little longer this year! I wear a 44 dinner jacket ordered this in a 46"gale told me to" fits perfect with room for a light hoodie.

Increvable, indémodable, sans entretien, très chaud pour l'hiver. Le choix des cuirs et la qualité d'assemblage montre que Schott NYC est toujours l'ultime référence des blousons en cuir à héritage militaires.

Have wanted one for years and finally did myself a favour last year - spectacularly great jacket - a real classic... My only issue is that when you take the detatchable inner lining out the metal zip is a little uncomfortable and might rub against and mark yr shirt. However it's a really wonderful jacket - looks better with the 'faux fur' collar removed.

Get one now and don't wait around like I did - you won't regret it...!!!

I received this jacket as a gift when I was in High School in 1980. I wore it until I grew out of it and then passed it along to my cousin in Spain. He wore it until he grew out of it and it is still making the rounds there. The jacket just keeps getting better and better. It is, without a doubt, the best jacket I have ever owned.
Excellent work!!!

I bought this jacket 25 years ago in France - naturally aged and still in great shape. Great job Schott.

I wanted this Jacket for nearly ten years. Because of my small amount as a student i couldn´t effort it. Today I bought myself a new 184sm. Even with the much higher price in europe it´s worth every dollar (or euro). The best jacket i ever owned. You know, when you buy a leather jacket, they allways tell you it´s for a lifetime. But those guys never saw and felt a schott jacket, that´s for a lifetime.
Love it!!!

I have had this jacket almost 10 years and it still looks like the day I bought it. This jacket is full grain none of that paper tin leather. I live in the cold & wet northeast and love this jacket. Once a year I clean and waterproof it and am "good to hook" Buy this jacket and you'll have it for life.

I bought my first A2 when I started flying for a living in 1979. I wore it daily flying the "bush" in Alaska for 15 years, had the pockets replaced two or three times, and finally wore through the leather in the arms after 10 years. My second A2 lasted me a little longer, but now I'm in need of a new one again. Schott is the ONLY jacket I will consider to replace my worn out one.

I live in NE and it is winter-and it is FREAKING cold. I got a 184SM from a used clothing shop, and even without the collar and liner it is as warm as my Ralph Lauren pea coat-and a lot more durable and worry free. The brass zipper-line on this thing has got to weigh 8-10 oz by itself. The pockets are fabric lined, and the snaps are sold and heavy as well. Naked cowhide is pretty soft, and a light treatment for UV protection and some moisture made this jacket look and feel like new. Mine is at least 10 years old, and it still smells like leather. Thanks to Gail at Schott for answering all my questions via email before my purchase.

I purchased this jacket and is awsome! Exceptional quality! Made with the soul. If you want a perfect fit, ask the Gail Hawkins. She guided me to get the perfect size. Great customer service for a great looking jacket!
The jacket worth all the money, to the last penny.
Thanks a lot, Gail!

I bought my first A-2 from Schott in 1987. This jacket looks better today than the day I bought it. When I grew and the Jacket didn't, I bought a Cooper. Bad choice. I bought any Schott A-2 in 2000 and I love it. The leather is heavier and maintains a great finish. Every year it continues to exceed my expectations. If you want a great looking jacket that will last forever, buy this one.

I have owned this jacket for about three years now. I get a ton of compliments every time I wear it. I really hate taking it off when I get to my destination. My friends will say "Can we peel off your jacket and get you comfortable?" I always say "I'm as comfortable as possible right now!" I love Schott jackes so much that I just purchased a Perfecto Motorcyle Jacket. No, I don't own a motorcycle, but I figured I owned this jacket and never flew a jet either. If you are tired of spend a lot of money for foreign inferior leather, these are the jackets to own. They don't come any nicer!

I purchased one of these in the fall of 1993. It's well made and very comfortable. I find that the "footballs" under the arms, and the back construction allow very good freedom of motion, so enhancing comfort. I still have the same jacket all these years later, and it still looks and feels great.
Perhaps the best compliment the jacket ever received was from a WWII veteran who had flown many missions as part of the crew of a bomber, who told me what a great looking jacket I was wearing.

Dear sirs,
I would like to inform you that I own this jacket for 18 years and it is an excellent product.
Next month I will buy a black one.

This is my second Schott A-2. The first one lasted me about 15 years and this one has been in service for 3 years now. The leather is heavy and soft. It is very warm and it's looks actually improve with age. A winner.

I've ouwned 2 of those jackets (one without any collar and pile liner, but with very strong leather...Sold to my best friend).I still have my Schott Leather Flight Jacket since 22 years, looks vintage and indestructible !!! Now that fashion style is coming back on the french street...
Like what...


PS :Love your Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket.

I really like the butter soft leather on this jacket. The jacket without the polytwill lining and without the pile collar was very comfortable and felt great.

The jacket has great style but the full pile collar was ichy and rubbed my neck. It would be perfect if a real mutton collar was used. Thank you Schott for the great leather jacket.
