Manufacturers changed to Goatskin in later years, but Horsehide ’til this day has always remained the preferred choice for discerning pilots. Nothing wears like Horsehide; as it ages it develops a patina for a rich antiqued look. It is also extremely durable and will provide years of wear – many Horsehide A-2 Jackets from WWII are still around today!
