A Great precaution that you can take- Swap Out Your Sports Jacket to an A-2 Leather Jacket Option to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19
The A-2 Leather Flight Jacket Alternative to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 that our medical workers who are NOW on the front-lines fighting a Pandemic.
I was listening to a FOX News interview report from a medical worker in New York who described his new procedure that he follows after his shift at one of the hospitals in treating CORVID-19. His description was what you’d expect a chemical warfare soldier would use in coming off the front-lines. The following was his decontamination procedure:
- Drive past the daycare where his child was enrolled.
- Enter the mudroom/laundry room and place his scrubs in a plastic bag.
- Take a shower and scrub thoroughly.
- Change into a jumper suit and wipe down the inside of his car.
- Change out of the jumper suit into regular clothes and go back to pick up his child.
Our Special Forces Medical Teams in each hospital and medical center are on the front lines and are doing a heroic job fighting an invisible enemy. They deserve the recognition we give our military who are working right beside these Special Forces Medical teams.
We Can Do Our Part Too
In addition to hand washing, don’t touch your face (eye, nose, and month), practice social distancing, stay at home, if you’re sick, cover your cough or sneeze; you can also consider swapping your cloth sports jacket to a leather flight jacket that allows you to clean it as needed. The cleaning can be done with simple wiping down with a cloth the A-2 Leather Jacket with a solution of dish detergent (1 tea spoon) and water (8 oz.).
U.S. Military Requirements for the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket
Matter of fact, the reason the U.S. Military went to the A-2 leather jackets for their pilots was FIRST- For a fire barrier, and SECOND- A bacteria, germ, and virus barrier. The U.S. Military didn’t want their highly trained pilots developing the flu. Experience from World War I, the U.S. Military learned that the Spanish Flu was embedding itself into the cotton and wool clothes that the pilots wore during the First World War.
NOTE: Both cotton and wool fabrics provide an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and viruses.
If you notice, that construction of the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket that we carry in my Online Store meets U.S. Military Specs has the following features that are great to prevent the spread of the CORVID-19:
- Leather to protect the pilot against fire FIRST and Disease SECOND.
- An elastic band cuff and waist band to prevent disease from getting onto the clothing.
- A zipper flap to cover the zipper as an exposed opening.
- A hook at the collar to protect the neck area as an entry area.
- One-piece back panel to eliminate possible seam breaking, exposing the pilot’s back.
I have been wearing an A-2 Leather Flight Jacket for both business and leisure for the past three years, including riding my motorcycle. There’s nothing that can protect you better than an A-2 Leather Flight Jacket that looks great with blue jeans or Chino Khaki pants. The A-2 Leather Flight Jacket established itself back in the early 1930’s, and it has changed little since then.
If the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket can protect and go to war with the Greatest Generation that flew dangerous missions with aircrews, like the pilots of the Red Tails and the 101st and 82nd Airborne, it can provide better protection than your cloth sports jacket can.
I even wear my A-2 Leather Flight Jacket that I carry in my Online Store to corporate meetings and meeting with Vets to explain how golf is a great activity for both business people and especially our Vets who are dealing with PTSD, which more people will have to face after this Pandemic is over.
THE QATSPY® Fit-to-a-TEE collection has the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket that can fit both men and women, with all the style and class you would want out of a jacket.
