Army A-2 Cowhide. During WWII, the A-2 jacket was primarily associated with US Army Air Force pilots & aircrews (the Air Force was part of the US Army until 1947), but the A-2 was also worn by non-aviation US Army personnel including officers serving in the 82nd Airborne and the 101st Airborne; even Gen. Douglas MacArthur was known to wear an A-2 jacket. But whether they were the pilot of a B-17 with 25 missions under their belt, a P-51 Mustang fighter ace, or a member of an elite parachute infantry regiment, those who were authorized to wear the A-2 wore it like a badge of honor.
For the first time in more than seven decades, the A-2 “Bomber” Jacket will make its triumphant return to active duty to the US Army and will become an officially issued jacket once again! For authorized personnel, the A-2 will be an option to go along with the Army’s new WWII-styled service uniforms. US Wings, who is already an official supplier to the US Military, will also be one of the suppliers of this jacket to the US Army!
You can get the very same A-2 jacket as US Army personnel without having to join the military! Our USA-made Official US Army A-2 is the same jacket that will be issued to the US Army. The A-2 has been a perennial favorite among our customers for years and this newest rendition will no doubt prove to be just as popular. It’s made from the finest mil-spec cowhide available and is manufactured to the highest military quality standards and specifications. Based primarily on the current-issue USAF goatskin version (but with a few small differences like slightly more narrow, tapered epaulets). Made in USA! High Demand Item!
The Authentic Army Cowhide A-2 Leather Jacket (US Made) features:
- Snap-down collar

A beautiful jacket, made with first-rate materials! The cowhide is a nice variation from the Air Force-issue goatskin, though both have their place. I now have the AF and Army-issue A-2s, and the Navy-issue G-1 and SWO jackets. Great jackets that look and feel great. Thanks!

I have collected A-2 jackets for several years now and I have built up a rather good collection of both old and modern pattern A-2s. I was quite excited to see the new U.S. Army A-2! I just had to get one and I am very happy I did! Not only for my collection, but it is indeed a wonderful jacket. The cowhide leather is fabulous, the color is absolutely fantastic and the quality is top-notch. A beautiful jacket indeed! I have worn it for almost two months and I am very pleased to see how well it brakes in. This jacket looks even better and better as it is being used. Get one!
