These jackets are handmade & hand-inspected, resulting in a superior level of quality unmatched by inferior mass produced, machine-made garments. We believe our collection of A-2s is the finest available... and we think you'll agree!

Limited Quantity Collector's Edition! This is a true pilot's jacket (although you don't need to be a pilot to wear it!) and one of the finest A-2s we've ever produced! The leather is lambskin from the mountains of south-central Asia, which is ultra-lightweight (and not available on the open market... this leather is a US Wings exclusive). It's also incredibly soft... the leather has been hand-worked and hand-stretched to give it a luxurious level of softness & suppleness that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Also, the hand-aging antiquing process really brings out the leather's varied grain & subtle color variations for that authentic "antique" appearance. It's truly a "VIP-class" jacket!
Features include two front snap-flap cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, one piece back, snap-down collar, an interior pocket, rayon satin lining, antiqued brass zipper, and knit cuffs & waistband. A bit of extra length has been added to the body and the sleeves to give the wearer unrestricted comfort, whether in the cockpit, the driver's seat, or on the ground.
The uniqueness and the outstanding quality of the leather (along with the craftsmanship that went in to producing it) is what sets this jacket apart from all other pilot jackets. We can only produce this jacket while our supply of this leather lasts, making this a true Collector's Edition A-2.
Classic styling, outstanding quality & craftsmanship, luxuriously upscale look & feel, and superior comfort... this A-2 has it all! Available in men's and women's sizes.

 American Bison, American Craftsmanship! US Wings is proud to offer our A-2 2000 jacket in premium bison leather! The uniqueness of bison leather is what sets this jacket apart from all other A-2 jackets.

After a bit of daily wear, this jacket will soon resemble a 50 year old garment!
Features include two front snap-flap cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, one piece back, snap-down collar, an interior pocket, satin nylon lining, antiqued brass zipper, and knit cuffs & waistband. Its outstanding combination of comfort, durability, uniqueness and American craftsmanship makes this a jacket any flier (or leather jacket lover) would be proud to wear! So if you've always wanted an American-made A-2 jacket that's constructed from a truly distinctive leather with the "touch" of a fashion garment and the toughness & durability of a true cockpit jacket, look no further!

25th Anniversary Striated
Lambskin A-2 2000 Jacket
|
click images to see details
(will open in a new window) |
|
Back by popular demand! We haven't produced a striated lambskin A-2 since 1986 and thought it was high time we rectified this. "Striated" lambskin starts with the finest French lambskin available: it's extremely soft, supple and substantial too (not like the paper-thin lambskin you might find in a "fashion" leather jacket). The lambskin is then hand-stretched to achieve its unique striated appearance. This results in a wonderfully "grainy" and rugged-looking jacket, each with its own distinctive characteristics (so no two jackets will look exactly alike). The leather is also designed to age rapidly as you wear it, giving the jacket that proper "vintage" look!
Features include two front cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, snap-down collar, epaulets, an interior pocket, nylon lining, antiqued brass zipper, and knit cuffs & waistband.
This limited edition jacket combines the classic features of the venerable A-2 with the uniquely rugged look of striated leather. We will only produce a small quantity of these outstanding A-2s so get yours while you can... or you may have to wait another 25 years! Made in the USA.

Wings of Gold
Antique Cowhide A-2

(will open in a new window) |
|
This is the classic A-2 jacket, recreated in beautiful hand-aged antique cowhide! The leather's subtle color variations, variety of graining and naturally occurring attributes add character to this jacket, giving it the look of an authentic vintage garment. The hides are hand-picked, hand-assembled & hand-aged, so no two jackets will look exactly alike. Features include two front cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, snap-down collar, knit cuffs & waistband, one-piece back, an interior pocket, and an antiqued brass zipper. The rich golden satin nylon "Wings of Gold" lining features a fully embroidered Naval Aviator wing and the Navy Flyer's Creed silkscreened beneath it (although the A-2 is primarily a USAAF/USAF jacket, it has been worn by other military branches as well and serves as a way to pay tribute to Naval Aviation for those who prefer the A-2 jacket). A US Wings exclusive! Color: antique brown.

US Wings Current Issue A-2
|
click images to enlarge
(will open in a new window) |
|
Quality + Value: Our US Wings Current Issue A-2 is based on the latest USAF A-2 pattern (which is an update of the "second generation" A-2s issued in 1987). Although it features a number of functional & comfort upgrades, this jacket is still unmistakably an A-2, a classic jacket originally adopted by the USAAF back in 1931.
The current issue pattern includes side-entry handwarmer pockets (the first military-issue A-2 to include this as a standard feature), two inside wallet pockets, an interior double slotted pen/pencil pocket, and side panels for a more comfortable fit. Other features include a premium dark brown goatskin shell, two front snap-flapped cargo pockets, a snap-down collar (which secures the collar against prop or jet wash — or just a strong wind), an exterior windflap that conceals the solid antiqued brass zipper beneath it, a one piece back, knit cuffs & waistband, shoulder epaulets, and a poly-twill lining.
Don't let the low price fool you — this is truly an outstanding A-2 jacket in every way! Compare the quality & price of this jacket with similar "current issue" A-2s sold by others for $225-$350.

Quality + Value: Our Lightweight New Zealand Lambskin A-2 is the ideal 3-season jacket. It features a shell made from ultra luxurious & lightweight New Zealand lambskin, a truly upscale leather that is noticeably lighter than goatskin and considerably lighter than cowhide. You really must wear this jacket to fully appreciate just how supple and lightweight the leather is! However, it still retains all the classic A-2 features, including a snap-down collar, throat latch, two front cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, one interior pocket, a windflap over an antiqued brass zipper, shoulder epaulets, knit cuffs & waistband, and a silky nylon lining. It's the ideal warm weather jacket, or layer it over a sweater when the temperature turns chilly. It's authentic enough to appeal to pilots & aviation enthusiasts, but refined & upscale enough to appeal to executives and VIPs! Color: brown only.

SPECIAL $195 PRICE!* US Wings is proud to offer the A-2 for the new millennium! Our A-2 2000 is made from the finest mil-spec goatskin available, and is manufactured to the highest military quality standards and specifications.

The side-entry pockets are separate from the patch pockets, making them roomier and more accessible. Features include: snap-down collar, one piece back, one piece sleeves, snap-close cargo pockets, stitched-down epaulets, nylon lining and mil-spec brass zipper. The A-2 2000 is the new cutting edge in A-2 jackets! Color: dark brown.

Vintage Cowhide A-2 2000

(will open in a new window) |
|
Vintage leather jackets have often been associated with "men of action" and require many years of hard wearing (and, sometimes, death-defying adventures) to achieve their distinctive "vintage" appearance. Who has time for that nowadays? Our Vintage A-2 2000 gives you the coveted look of a true "vintage" garment, but without the time, effort or risk to life & limb!
Our Vintage A-2 2000 is constructed from beautiful antique Italian cowhide leather. This incredibly supple leather has been hand-aged, giving the jacket that subtle patina of "wear" (and each jacket has its own unique characteristics, like subtle color variations & varied graining, so no two jackets will look exactly alike). The jacket is based on the WWII pattern for a trim fit and features two front cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, one inside pocket, snap-down collar, one piece back and sleeves, stitched-down epaulets, and brass zipper. A truly outstanding flight jacket that looks and feels "lived-in" from the first time you put it on!

Signature Series™
Cowhide VIP A-2 (New Finish)
|
click image to see detail
(will open in a new window) |
|
Whether you're already a VIP or just aspire to be one, you'll appreciate the quality of our VIP A-2! Our Signature Series™ Cowhide VIP A-2 is a modern reproduction of the classic A-2 jacket, but made from incredibly supple cowhide leather for a degree of luxury not usually associated with military jackets. Cowhide has a reputation of being tough and durable, but supple as cardboard. Our Cowhide VIP A-2 shatters that stereotype! The leather is buttery-soft premium cowhide, non-distressed for a more "dressier" look. The quality, softness, and suppleness of this premium leather must be seen to be appreciated. Yet it is still an A-2 and retains all the classic A-2 features, including: snap-down collar, stitched-down shoulder epaulets, one-piece back and sleeves, and knit cuffs and waistband. Plus, with a nod toward modern practicality, we've added side entry handwarmers to the two front cargo pockets and an inside pocket (which were not present in the original A-2s). This is a sharp and stylish "upscale" A-2, more refined than the typical military A-2, but every bit as tough as those worn in the skies over Europe and the Pacific during WWII. Wear this jacket on casual occasions with a pair of jeans, or with slacks and a tie for your next board meeting. This jacket is destined to become a new classic! Made in the USA, exclusively by US Wings. Note: this is a "new look" jacket -- it does not have a vintage or antique appearance. Color: brown.

Antique Lambskin A-2
[With Removeable Fur Collar]
|
 |
|
This jacket is made from incredibly soft and supple antique New Zealand lambskin with all the natural graining common to this type of leather. Hand cut and hand sewn, this is an upscale jacket of the highest quality. The antiquing process allows the jacket to age rapidily as you wear it, increasing its battle-worn look over time. Features two front cargo pockets (with side-entry handwarmers), one inside pocket, a detachable mouton collar over a leather collar, stiched down epaulets, rib knit cuffs and waistband, and full cut body and sleeves for a roomy fit. For added versatility, our jacket comes with a warm and comfy zip-in/out pile liner for those changing weather conditions, making this a true 3-season jacket! Made in the USA.
Fit: Full Cut (click for info)
Note: our "antique" lambskin comes with a thin protective coating over the surface which will "break-in" rapidly as you wear it, enhancing the leather's antique appearance.

The antique lambskin leather will further distress as you wear it to give you that desirable "battle-worn" look. Lightly insulated for a bit of added warmth and cut full for a slightly oversize fit.

Signature Series™
USAAF Horsehide A-2
|
Click to enlarge.
Image will open in new window. |

If you want an authentic WWII A-2 jacket, horsehide is it! The original USAAF Specs (DWC 30-1415 of Sept. 1930) called for Seal Brown horsehide to be the required material for this jacket. A-2s became standard issue in 1931 and continued through 1942, when production ceased in favor of cloth flight jackets. The A-2 made a triumphant return to active duty in 1987, but in goatskin, not horsehide. US Wings is proud to once again offer a horsehide A-2.
Here is your chance to own an authentic piece of American aviation history. This jacket is genuine in every detail, and we feel it is the finest horsehide A-2 you can buy! Our Signature Series™ Horsehide A-2 is constructed from supple, but tough, 3 oz. horsehide. You'll notice the natural creases, graining, scratches, range marks, and other blemishes that enhance the character of the jacket. These are not imperfections, but are naturally-occurring characteristics of horsehide leather. The specially-treated horsehide leather will begin to antique rapidly as you wear it... giving this jacket that authentic "battle-worn" look. All the original spec details are here, including: snap-down collar, collar clip, front cargo pockets, mil-spec brass zipper, one-piece back, poly-cotton lining, and the original Seal Brown-colored horsehide leather. The Signature Series™ Horsehide A-2 is a must to own, and has our highest recommendation! Color: original seal brown. Made in the USA.

The A-2 is the quintessential "bomber" jacket and it's now available for kids! This kid's A-2 might be small in size, but it's an accurate reproduction of the USAF-issue A-2 and has everything the adult A-2 has, including a genuine goatskin leather shell, two front cargo pockets with side entry handwarmers, two inside pockets, snap-down collar, stitched-down epaulets, poly-cotton lining, antiqued brass zipper under windflap, and knit cuffs & waistband.
The quality of this jacket is superb and the goatskin is just as durable as our adult goatskin A-2, so this jacket will stand up to long wear and hard play. A US Wings exclusive. Color: dark brown. Imported.
