The Modern A-2:
The A-2 leather flight jacket is an American military flight jacket. Originally invented and developed for the World War II U.S. Army Air Forces pilots. After a brief period of not issuing jackets to pilots, the modern A-2 was developed and issued. It was said that the popular film, “Top Gun” may have influenced the new A-2. The first Air Force A-2 contract was awarded to Avirex, but all subsequent contracts from 1988 to 1998 were awarded to Neil Cooper USA, now U.S. Wings of Ohio. The modern design differs from the original design in several ways. With a looser fit, made from goatskin in seal brown, side entry pockets, and an inside wallet pockets.
Brian Schaefer –
This is the fourth jacket I have purchased from US Wings. It is a beautiful piece of clothing. I would call it a work of art! The character of the leather is one of a kind. In years past I have bought jackets that purported to be A-2 style jackets. They weren’t cheaply priced, but cheaply made. My US Wings A-2’s are made to the actual specs. and are not that much more than these knock offs that are not nearly the quality of a US Wings jacket.
A nice touch in my order: A FREE Indiana Jones Adventure bag!
I highly recommend buying your leather jackets from US Wings! Good company run by good people.
