Signature Series Kangaroo A-2 Bomber Jacket
$949.00
Our Kangaroo A-2 is lighter than goatskin, cowhide, or horsehide but is much stronger and more durable. Each jacket is handcrafted by our skilled artisans using the finest kangaroo leather from a small craft tannery in Australia, resulting in a truly unique A-2 that will last a lifetime. Made in the USA.
Fit: Normal
The Kangaroo A-2 Bomber Jacket is a Limited Edition jacket and back by popular demand! We last manufactured a Kangaroo A-2 Bomber jacket more than 10 years ago. We are once again offering one in this outstanding leather! Individually handmade by our skilled artisans using the finest Kangaroo leather. Tanned using old-school dying and finishing techniques. These help accentuate the full grain, color variances and natural imperfections of each hide.
We’ve chosen to offer our authentic A-2 Bomber Jacket in this ultra-durable material. Besides being a rather rare and unique jacket material, Kangaroo-hide is outstanding for its practicality. We are able to get this look because our leather comes from wild Kangaroo hides and not farm-raised. The hides will display naturally occurring scratches, scuffs, and other range marks which adds character to the jacket.
Lighter than goatskin, horsehide, lambskin and cowhide, Kangaroo hide is much stronger and more durable. Leather is between 0.7 to 0.9 mm thick. Over time, the hide ages to become even more beautiful than when it as bought. With proper care, the leather will last a lifetime or more. Limited production run. US Wings® – The Professional Look. Made in the USA.

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.

I have known “Sarge” via emails etc for quite a few years. I have purchased 4 or 5 jackets from USWings over the years. All have been superb in quality and the USWings staff specifically “Sarge” have always gone out of their way to make sure I was well taken care of. My recent purchase of the “ROO” A2 was no different. The jacket is I believe the best I’ve ever worn; superbly crafted and extremely light. Sarge again, was overly fair & made sure I was satisfied. To me that means the most. How many places can one deal with the CEO of the company. An ethical , honorable veteran!! I have a lot of regard for the “Sarge” and the USWINGS staff !!

I just received this jacket. The first time I tried it on I knew this was a quality garment. The materials and workmanship are excellent. It was delivered and packaged with a quality garment bag for storage. I highly recommend this jacket.

I bought the Kangaroo A2 because of the highly positive reviews by Victor (Review in the US Wings Website), and Craig Shipp (YouTube – Five Best Bomber Jackets Ever) . After having this jacket personally, I would say that I totally agree with what they say. Kangaroo skin is definitely a superior leather. It’s beautifully tanned, and the colour is exquisite I feel good that I have given the Kangaroo the opportunity to come back to it’s native land, as I live in Brisbane, Australia, where the tannery of this skin located.
This is the second US Wings jacket I have. I’m very impressed with the craftsmanship of my first (goatskin) one. I have many A2’s, and this one is sitting on the top.
In addition to that, the US Wings customer service is excellent. They are friendly, communicate well and keep their words.
I will definitely recommend US Wings to all leather jacket aficionados

Just dropping a line to let you know I received my Kangaroo A-2. So happy to finally have one. I tried to order last time you had the Kangaroo (many, many years ago) but, sadly, I was too late. I have been patiently waiting for them to be made again so I could be first in line. It was worth the wait. Thanks, again!

I’m glad I bought this kangaroo leather jacket.
I’ve been searching for a thinner leather jacket…for the desert environment, but be able to man-handle my rough and tumble R&R.
The skin on this jacket has a smooth, yet dense hand. It has a shiny/matte complexion.
I appreciate the seal brown color.
I took the chance of getting the medium size, instead of the large (my chest size = 45″, waist = 38″, height = 5’8″.) The medium size is the perfect fit for me….I found that the recommended large size was just too loose fitting. The biggest plus was the back of the medium sized kangaroo A-2 was a one piece panel, instead of two pieces.
To be continued……
