US Wings is proud to be the official licensee of these 14th AF Flying Tiger jackets. For those who want a 14th AF Flying Tigers jacket but prefer the look of a G-1, we offer our US Wings Cooper Original Flying Tigers Cape Buffalo G-1 Jacket. It has the look of a WWII jacket and is constructed from one of the most unique & durable leathers available. But Cape buffalo leather isn’t just tough, it’s also luxuriously soft & rich looking as well. And the antique brown finish, along with the vintage-style fur collar, makes it look like it came straight out of WWII!
The jacket comes standard with a plain back, but you can opt to have “Flying Tigers Artwork” painted onto the back for an additional fee; (in fact, our renowned artist Jim Harley, can paint any nose art, logo, or design on this or any other jacket for an additional fee; please visit our Hand-painted Jackets page for more details). Also available in an A-2 version in our Flying Tigers Collection.
Why Cooper? Cooper Sportswear has been in business since 1920 and supplied jackets for the U.S. Army Air Force and began supplying many of the jackets for the Flying Tigers in late 1941.
