The TYPE A-10 GLOVE, FLYING WINTER follows the military pattern of the standardised flight accessory issued on July 20th 1938.While most original Type A-10 glove were made using a 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 a Seal Brown Horsehide, matching our Type A-2 and carries MIL-SPEC USAAF insignia at the base.
The TYPE A-10 GLOVE, FLYING WINTER are issued in a cotton bag finished with the USAAF stamped stencil and size stamp, with a snap button stud fastening.
