Cooper Original™ Goatskin A-2 Leather Jacket! US Wings® is proud to introduce our US Wings Cooper Original™ Goatskin A-2 Jacket! Founded in the early 1920s and was awarded Contract No. W535ac23381 on January 5, 1942 to produce A-2 jackets for the USAAF during WWII. Now extremely rare. Considered highly collectible by WWII & A-2 jacket enthusiasts.

In the modern age, Cooper continued to produce very popular & sought after garments like the A-2, G-1 & Indy jackets for the civilian market. US Wings partnered with Cooper for many years, starting in 1986 and ending when Cooper Sportswear ceased production in the 1990s; their jackets have been unavailable to the general public ever since. We have received numerous inquiries & requests for Cooper jackets over the years, so we’ve decided to reintroduce these outstanding jackets in our Cooper Original™ line, starting with our Cooper Original™ Goatskin A-2, which is based on the Cooper original™ pattern. This jacket is identical to our Cooper Original Cowhide A-2 with the exception of being Goatskin and being half the weight.

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. The popular film, “Top Gun” may have influenced the new A-2. 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.
