Overview

The Lightweight Cowhide A-2 Flight Jacket takes the legendary military-inspired A-2 silhouette and refines it for everyday versatility. Built from smooth, lightweight pull-up cowhide, it offers the classic bomber profile and heritage details like a zip front with hidden snap collar, ribbed cuffs and waistband, and multiple pocket configurations with a softer hand and enhanced comfort straight off the rack. Heritage linings and functional touches make it an ideal choice for transitional weather or year-round wear, while the leather ages naturally to reveal rich character and patina. A timeless wardrobe staple rooted in aviation history, this jacket bridges classic design and modern performance with effortless style.

So I would give this jacket a 4.5 out 5 stars. The reason its not 5 stars for me is the lining being polyester and not cotton. That is the only downside I see. Everything else is perfect. I'm sending my back and getting the lining redone which isn't the end of the world.

Excellent jacket. One time you guys did the same jacket in lambskin. You should bring that one back also super light wait and soft.

Nothing is Perfect

This jacket once again proves the old saying that nothing is perfect. I genuinely admire and respect the Schott brand, and I very much wanted to give it a five-star review. However, the leather on the left sleeve is so noticeably different in texture from the rest of the jacket that it makes me feel like a pebble stuck in my throat. A light pinch with fingers makes it even clearer that it is significantly thinner than the other parts of the jacket, thin enough to make me worry it might not hold up over time.

Unfortunately, in the moment I received the jacket, my excitement got the better of me and I failed to examine it carefully and removed the tag, which means I can no longer exchange it.

Great Jacket - Highly recommend!

This type of leather is really fantastic, great fit, XXL -6’2”” 230lbs. It is a lighter feel of leather than the normal Scott leather jacket. I give this jacket 5 stars, but with one item that needs improvement - a better zipper for a $1000 jacket.

Awesome leather Jacket

Beautiful Leather, great fit with XXL - 6’2” at 235lbs, Scott should make more lightweight leather jackets with type leather in different colors. I would only suggest one item regarding this jacket. I would prefer a better high quality zipper.

Versatile and useful

I am fully satisfied.
Quality and color of the leather make this particular version of A-2 very interesting.
It can surely be worn for the whole spring, and depending on local weather conditions also even in both certain summer and winter days.
It's useful, and this is what really matters. In the meanwhile windbreaking and transpiring, its lightness allows to bring it if necessary in one hand without fatigue.
Leather is subtile and however strong with a good strenght, resisting to water and other accidents. Aspects like simplicity and comfort due to the position and size of the pockets are relevant.
In order to choose the right size instrument on Schott NYC site is very good and for further help people at customer service are very very serious and professional.
