Summer-weight flight jackets

Does anyone out there make an A-1 or A-2 flight jacket in summer-weight materials? I would love to geek out on the top-shelf repro stuff from Eastman or Goodwear but unfortunately I don't live in the right climate to justify an expensive leather jacket. So I'm looking for a slim-cut A-1 or A-2 rendered in cotton or some other lightweight material.

A quick google revealed a cotton A-2 by Sporty's Pilot Shop but the cut is too baggy and the details aren't that nice.

Do better alternatives exist?

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
