Lot No. BR80603 / Type A-2 “CONTRACT No. W535 AC27752 BUZZ RICKSON CLOTHING CO.”
1932年から納入が開始されたA-2は1944年まで計16社との契約が交わされた。このA-2はラフウェア社が1941年に軍納入を開始してから1943年に生産された4番目のロットにあたるモデル。ラフウェア社の魅力は他社には無い体に絡み付く様な独特のフォルムを有しているところにある。当時のパイロットが着倒したA-2を見ると、無数に走った傷や皺、擦れによる色むらが確認できる。こうした色むらや一着毎に異なる革の表情には趣があり、風合いが非常に魅力的である。このジャケットに使用している革は渋液で丹念に鞣された後、染料を用いて職人の手によってバレンで着色されている。そのため1着毎に違った表情を持っているのが手間の掛かるハンドメイドにしか成し得ない技。この色むらと着用毎に刻まれる皺と擦れで革の表情は更に磨かれ、新品時の未完成品から着用毎に完成品へと近付いて行くのである。

Deliveries of the type A-2 jacket began in 1932 and contracts were signed with a total of 16 companies until 1944. This A-2 jacket was the fourth model produced in 1943 after Rough Wear Clothing Co. began supplying to the US military in 1941. One of the features of Rough Wear’s A-2 lies in its unique form that is intertwined with the body in a way that no other contractor could match. When we look at the A-2 worn by pilots of the day, we can see countless scratches, wrinkles, and uneven colors caused by rubbing. The uneven coloring and the unique look of the leather on each piece have a certain charm and the texture is exceptionally attractive. The leather used for this jacket is carefully tanned in astringent solution and then colored by hand with dyes by artisans using a baren. As a result, each piece has a different look, a skill that can only be achieved with time-consuming handmade work. This uneven coloring and the wrinkles and scuffs that are carved into the leather as it is worn further polish the leather’s appearance, bringing the jacket from a work in progress when new to a perfected product with each wear.
