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.

Hi,
Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks for the Jacket and Aviator sunglasses I ordered from you. The Vintage Cowhide A2 is just awesome. It is flawless and fits like a glove! It is by far my favorite piece of clothing! There are a lot of companies selling leather jackets out there and it was hard to choose, but in the end your excellent customer service/email response and the testimonials of others was my deciding factor to purchase from you.
Not only that, but it feels good to purchase from a company that shares the same values as I do. I feel proud to have bought from you. I know my money is going to people that I would want to have it. Not to some fly by night import company that’s only interested in making a dollar.
My compliments to you and your company. Great job! You have earned my business and I will be sure to spread the word.
God Bless You,
Ian G.
