This is one of those jackets that just feels right the moment you put it on. The Double Helix Type A-2 takes a WWII-era classic and gives it a fresh, wearable update — all without losing the soul of the original. It’s made from Japanese tea-core horsehide that’ll age like nothing else, developing real character the longer you wear it.

The fit is cropped and boxy in a good way — structured, but never stiff. It sits clean over a hoodie or crewneck, and layers easily with whatever’s already in your rotation. The ribbed cuffs and hem keep things sharp, and the contrast stitching adds just the right amount of detail.

It works just as well with worn-in denim and boots as it does with loose cargos and sneakers. Whether you’re into military-inspired gear, vintage cuts, or just want something that’ll get better with time, this one delivers.
