The A-1 is one of the first Flight jackets. Lindbergh wore one. It has a lovely design, and is the only one that uses buttons and not a zipper.
Still produced today by several makes, the most famous version is made by the Italian brand Valstar under the name "Valstarino".
It is really the hell of a jacket, it exists in a vast array of material and colours and the price is rather steep. The suede and leather version are beautiful.
On my wish-list.
The leather and suede Valstarinos. Do you see them a lot in Italy @Luigi_M ?
i am really tempted, but they cost an arm and a leg...
