US Wings is proud to offer the Leather Flight Jacket Modern A-2! It is made from goatskin leather. Manufactured to military quality standards and specifications. Our jacket is equal in every way to the USAF-issue A-2, but with one important distinction: more pockets! With the change in time, we have also made changes to the A-2 jacket. We’ve added side-entry hand warmer pockets and one inside pocket to our popular goatskin bomber A-2 flight jacket. The side-entry pockets are separate from the patch pockets, which make them roomier and more accessible. The additional pockets make it far more practical. Import.

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.

Thank you Bob and Myke! When they understood that UPS was giving me problems they were all over it.
I now have my jacket and it’s everything I had hoped it would be. The fit and finish is excellent and a great value. The only reason I am giving them 5 stars is because I can’t give them 6. Between the quality of their product, and the level of customer support I received they certainly rate it.
I’m keeping my eye out for the Freedom Collection release.
Best Regards,
Keith Wooten

I cannot speak to the quality of the jacket because I haven’t received it yet. My order was placed on Oct 1st and was processed and shipped in a timely manner. HOWEVER UPS has made a compete hash of my entire experience. As of this writing on Oct 15th, I still have no jacket. The UPS site says there is something wrong with the address so I made sure it was right. After a few days delay they supposedly tried again. Now they say they still have a problem with the address. For Pete’s sake, internet shoppers at Walmart, Amazon, the grocery store, and Papa John’s can find this place, but UPS can’t? Are they stupid? I have a case open with them, but have have had no response yet. I want to go on record that at this point I do not hold US Wings responsible for this debacle, but I do hope this review will prompt them to take action with UPS to help me get this resolved. Hopefully I can update this soon with a positive feedback.

I bought this jacket in 2001. Nineteen years later (nineteen!), despite serving as my go-to jacket from October through April (with a sweater underneath in winter) every year, it still looks new. No scraping off of color, no abrasion wear.
I’m not sure what you’ll get for the higher price of other A-2s on this site, but I think you’d be crazy to spend more than what you pay for this jacket.

This is my second SKU:A22000. The first one, Size M, which I bought in 2015, has become too tight for me. The quality hasn’t changed, but the total cost is less as the shipping is 50% lower now. I’m very pleased with this jacket, especially with the help from Amber, I get a PERFECT jacket. One thing I want to suggest to Sarge is that the Full Grain leather used for this jacket has to be emphasized as it will be a very good selling point for the “entry level ” leather jacket.

I’m a retired CW2 Army Aviator and have spent my entire life around military aviation. Fathers a retired Air Force Flight Engineer. I have seen many leather flight jackets before to include Air Force issue. This jacket is perfect. The quality!!!!

Best jacket ever for Texas. Comfortable, tough, and in the Italian goatskin it’s stylish enough for all but formal occasions. I’ve had mine for three years, and it’s like new. I like it so well I bought the Cape Buffalo version, which is a little heavy for Texas temps, but otherwise even awesome.

Wow! This jacket is really, really nice. First time I have purchased a bomber jacket online. Fit is great, quality is 1st rate, and of course the pictures do not do it justice. Leather is supple with a deep brown finish that resonates the swag of the classic bomber jacket. Also, I appreciate the gift that was sent along with my order.

Love this jacket! Fits well and the leather feels like it costs far more than it does. I’m impressed with this product as well as the company. You have a life long customer in me and I look forward to more purchases in the future!

Just received my A-2 jacket and was very pleased with the fit and finish. The first time I wore the jacket I received a compliment from a complete stranger. Awesome. Love the goat skin. Texture and aroma is wonderful.

Received my A2 jacket several days ago and I am very pleased. The quality and fit of the jacket are outstanding. I have rarely given a product 5 stars, but this one deserves it. Keep up the great work.

I just wanted to drop you a note. I have been wearing US Wings gear for decades. My first 3 purchases were the Khaki Collectíon Bush Jackets. I loved them for field work as a journalist, Unfortunately so too did the various women in my life. I have one left. It’s staying with me. My most recent purchase is the Signature Collectíon Goatskin Flight Jacket. Not surprisingly, I love it. Great color, construction, a great feel, and a perfect fit, it is now my go to coat.
Thanks again for the great gear, service, and price.

I can’t tell you the compliments that I have received since I purchased my second leather flight jacket from US Wings. The second jacket contains my business logo patches that Sgt. Hack sewed on my jacket. Anyone thinking about personalizing their leather jacket from U.S. Wings Sgt. Hack did an excellent job. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to showcase their company logo this is a great method.

I just wanted to say that I am amazed at the quality of the A-2 (Modern) jacket I ordered. I was not quite sure what to expect. I am so pleased with the quality of the jacket. As we say in the South: “I’m just trickled to death”

Purchased the Modern A-2 leather jacket and I’m very pleased. It’s very well made. Size runs a little small. I wear a Large shirts, which fit loose. Had to Return the Large A-2 and get an XL (which fits about right). It fits a little tighter than I would expect, but I really like the jacket. Highly recommend, but watch the size.
