Victim will soon be releasing a great A-2 flight jacket made from buffalo leather in black. The A-2 is one of the more popular jackets whose origins stem from US military use. First seen in the 1930’s, it was discontinued in the early 40’s, only to be resurrected – thankfully – in the late 1980’s. This is an extremely versatile jacket, and Victim did a great job keeping it that way with a simple, classic design. Check out annoutcommune for pre-order information.

Take a closer look after the jump.

Rats keeps it rough, rugged and raw with this B-15A Flight jacket in collaboration with Tenderloin that should be dropping sometime in the very near future. Although relatively simple in appearance, the jacket boasts some great details like the triangular leather patches on the chest and a very soft and warm looking alpaca lining.

It looks like we will soon be seeing yet another collaboration between Converse and Undefeated. This time the two worked on the "Poorman’s Weapon".
The concept of the Undefeated x Converse Poorman’s Weapon is based off of an Air Force MA-1 flight jacket, complete with removable velcro patches. The shoe is made of the same nylon flight satin used on the MA-1 jackets with a bright orange canvas interior, which pilots would be able to turn inside out to be seen. On top of a Chuck Taylor outer sole and a Weapon upper, the shoe also features waxed laces and sports a vulcanized Undefeated strike logo on the sole. Via Vapors Sneaker Issue.
There is no set release date so far, but the execution is impressive and the outcome great!
