Pike Brothers 1943 C2 Sweater in Black

The Pike Brothers 1943 C2 Sweater in Black takes inspiration from an early U.S. Army Air Forces layering garment developed for pilots during the Second World War. Designed as an additional insulating layer beneath the iconic A-2 leather flight jacket, the C2 Sweater provided extra warmth without unnecessarily restricting movement in the cockpit.

Its slim silhouette and distinctive raglan sleeves reflect this original purpose, creating a close-fitting layer that sits comfortably underneath a flight jacket while remaining equally suited to wearing on its own.

USAAF-Inspired Merino Wool Flight Sweater

Made from 100% Merino wool, the 1943 C2 Sweater provides natural warmth while remaining breathable and comfortable. Merino wool’s insulating properties make it particularly well suited to cold-weather layering without adding excessive bulk.

Raglan sleeves provide excellent freedom of movement through the shoulders and reinforce the sweater’s authentic aviation-inspired construction. A traditional Talon zipper completes the front, while a single front pocket provides practical storage without disrupting the clean military silhouette.

An authentic-style specification label adds another period-inspired detail and reflects the sweater’s U.S. military aviation heritage.

Finished in classic Black and made in Portugal, the Pike Brothers 1943 C2 Sweater combines 100% Merino wool, practical wartime-inspired detailing, and a streamlined fit in a versatile cold-weather layer.
