L-2 Devils One Nylon Bomber Jacket
The L-2 was only produced for a short time and was soon replaced by the L-2A, making it a rare jacket in the vintage industry.
The leather was replaced due to inconsistent sourcing and the development of jet engine aircraft.
The L-2 was the successor to the A-2, replacing nylon as the main fabric with leather. The design was based on the B-15, with the mouton shearling collar removed and replaced by a wool knit collar.
Pilot uniforms had three zones (heavy, medium, light, depending on the altitude and temperature the pilots were at during combat).
