Type A 10 Glove Flying Winter

The TYPE A-10 GLOVE, FLYING WINTER follows the military pattern of the standardized flight accessory issued on July 20th, 1938. While most original Type A-10 gloves were made using goatskin, this model from The Real McCoy's MFG Co. uses an up-spec aniline-finished horsehide for a distinctive, robust design and finish. Cockpit design of the time required pilots to operate without fault in sub-zero temperatures. The supple hide, wool lining and knitted cuffs that made up the A-10 glove provided a crucial layer of insulation and shielded hands from the cold. The Real McCoy's contract A-10 Glove is constructed in seal brown horsehide, matching our Type A-2, and carries MIL-SPEC USAAF insignia at the base. The TYPE A-10 GLOVE, FLYING WINTER is issued in a cotton bag finished with the USAAF stamped stencil and size stamp, with a snap button stud fastening.
