Introducing the 'Don Gentile' A-2 Flight Jacket, a timeless tribute to 1940s Flight Jackets from WWII with a distinct Italian twist. This authentic garment is meticulously crafted from vegetable-tanned, full-grain Lambskin sourced from Tuscany, Italy.

Originally designed for U.S. Army Air Forces pilots, navigators, and bombardiers, the A-2 flight jacket embodies a legacy that matures gracefully over time, improving with age and use. The natural tannins infuse warm, deep tones into the leather, intensifying its character with each day.

The jacket's 'Terra Bruciata' viscose lining complements its rich heritage, while meticulous attention to detail ensures an authentic, handcrafted masterpiece from Italy.

The name 'Don Gentile' pays homage to Air Force Pilot Dominic Gentile, 'The Ace of Aces,' who, born to Italian immigrants in the US, soared through the skies in the legendary North American P-51 Mustang, aptly nicknamed 'Shangri-La.'

Imperfections, color variations, and unique textures are not defects but rather distinctive elements of this artisanal, one-of-a-kind product, exclusively yours.

As a testament to Shangri-la's commitment to quality, every jacket is presented in a high-quality 100% organic natural cotton bag, elegantly tied with Havana rope and adorned with a screen-printed logo.

The cut features a standard fit and stays true to standard sizing. If you usually wear a size M in American brands, you'll find a suitable fit with this jacket in size M. However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.

Working hard to deliver high quality products from Northern Italy, Shangri-La Heritage is always on the road looking for new adventures, discovering places, meeting up people who share their interests and getting to know new fabric types and manufacturing techniques, valuable to keep their products up-to-date.
