Founded in 1893, Talon is the original zipper company, and one of the world’s most recognized brands among apparel consumers. As is often the case, a fashion necessity drove the invention of the first zipper when high-button boots hit the scene. With up to twenty buttons to fasten—a challenge for the most nimble and skilled—it became clear to the Talon founder that there must be an easier and less time-consuming way to put on a pair of boots. And that single thought was the driving force behind the invention of the Talon Zipper.
We use the correct M-42 triple-marked 'bell' Talon zipper reproduction flight jackets.
The B3 sheepskin flight jacket, which was the classic shearling jacket worn by USAAF high-altitude bomber crews during WWII, was designed specifically for aircraft bombers who flew at high altitudes. As such, it became known as the “bomber jacket”. #b3jacket #flightjaket
Focus on the small details. On our A2 Perry A-2 Flight Jacket we use the correct “Ball Stud” press studs and the M-39 triple-marked Talon zipper.

Initial designs for the A-2 Flight Jacket arrived in the early 1930s, evolving from the A-1. The A2 flight jackets were created mainly out of horsehide or goatskin. The A2 jackets were designed with heavy duty fasteners, cuffs and knit waists. Both of the A1 and A2 jackets have similar cuts, but unlike the A1 jacket that had buttons, the A2 were fitted with sturdy zippers instead. The addition of the zippers and collar to the A2 would have contributed to the sophistication and smartness it had over the A1 jackets. The A2 stayed in vogue until 1943 when fewer people began to use it. But even still, its significance cannot be forgotten by those who knew. #vintageleatherjacket #ww2history #ww2 #flightjackets #a2jacket
