Buzz Rickson’s Type A-10 ‘Flying Winter’ Gloves – Horsehide / Seal-Brown

Originally adopted in 1938, the Type A-10 gloves were developed as standard winter flight gloves for pilots of the U.S. Army Air Forces. Buzz Rickson’s reproduction follows the original military specifications with uncompromising attention to material choice and construction, staying true to both function and historical accuracy.

The outer shell is made from supple seal-brown horsehide, chosen for its durability, flexibility, and natural resistance to cold. Inside, a full wool knit lining provides insulation without bulk. The long, tube-knitted wool cuffs seal in warmth and are reinforced with triangular leather patches on the palm side to prevent stretching during wear. Three pin-tuck seams across the back of the hand control leather tension and help maintain a precise fit over time.

Stitching around all five fingers is executed using advanced sewing techniques, reflecting the labor-intensive craftsmanship required for this original flight glove design. Finished with period-correct U.S. Army Air Forces markings and a woven specification label inside the cuff, this is a faithful and wearable reproduction of a true aviation classic.

A timeless piece of U.S. military flight history, reproduced with precision and purpose.
