1943 bomber Boston leather jacket
I believe I received a 1943 original leather Boston bomber jacket. Material on the outside is original leather. Inside was custom made with navy blue insulated material in Kentucky.

Dear Carly,
Thank you for the additional information and your patience.
The presented object appears to be a black Boston leather bomber or flight jacket. This jacket does not correlate with the common A-2 jacket for the US Air Force during WWII especially the pockets on the front. The inside is custom-made and probably a later addition. On the chest, we see traces of the fixation of a label or something similar.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 300 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
unfortunately since the inside was redone, there is no label I can find anywhere. The only lettering is on the "Talon” zipper on the outside.
