HIROSHI KATO

The Propeller Moleskin - Blacktop

Lookbook

Description

Emerging during World War II as a replacement for the A-1 jacket, the A-2 has become an iconic symbol rivaling the motorcycle jacket. As the war ended and pilots returned home, they wore their flight jackets as symbols of honor, catching the eyes of figures like Steve McQueen and Frank Sinatra. Once it was popularized in films, this style became synonymous with masculine cool. Our version of the A-2 adds our own twist on the classic details. The Propeller features exclusive custom vintage-style zippers made by Universal. We removed the classic knitted wristlets and waistband to give the jacket a sharper, longer line and a modern feel. Cat-eye buttons on the pockets and wrists are secured with our distinctive Kato Orange thread. Channeling the hitchhiking beatnik lying in the back seat of a car flying down the highway, writing pros, This jacket is all comfort, endurance, and cool. This 100% cotton A2 flight jacket has been sulfur piece dyed and heavily rinsed for a very broken-in look and feel. Fit & Size Model is 6'1" and wearing size M.
