Imagine... the same A-2 jacket issued to our USAAF pilots in WWII (and current USAF flight crews) can be yours from US Wings! A favorite of aviators for decades, the A-2's classic looks have withstood the test of time. Experience it for yourself. Even if you weren't there blasting Zeros and Me-109s out of the skies, you can still experience some of the excitement and glory by dressing the part! We believe our collection of US Wings-labeled Signature Series™* A-2s are the finest A-2s available... and we think you'll agree!
*Beware of inferior imitations being sold by others. Inexpensive imported leather jackets found in department or discount stores and overpriced imported "designer labeled" leather jackets found in boutiques are often inferior in construction and materials. All US Wings Signature Series™ leather jackets are made from the highest quality Grade "A" leather, constructed to US Military specs or better. In addition, you can feel good about wearing a quality garment that was handcrafted in the USA. The genuine USA-made Signature Series™ line is ONLY available online through our website or from our Retail Pilot Shop in Stow, OH.

 Genuine USAF-spec A-2! The A-2 is arguably the finest jacket to come out of WWII. Its immense popularity today, 70 years after it first appeared on the scene, is proof of this jacket's timelessness. The US Wings Signature Series™ Goatskin A-2 is a genuine, current-issue USAF A-2. Unlike the standard Goatskin A-2s available elsewhere, our Premium version is available exclusively from US Wings! What's the difference? These are not assembly-line products. Only the finest goatskins in the world are used for these jackets. They are hand-crafted and hand-stitched, producing a jacket of outstanding quality... and a difference you can see! Yet US Wings offers this Premium Goatskin A-2 for a "standard" price! Authentic in every detail, the features include: snap-down collar, collar clip, stitched-down epaulets, original snap-close patch pockets, one-piece back, mil-spec brass zipper, and knit cuffs and waistband. The Signature Series™ A-2 from US Wings... a jacket with the "right stuff." Color: dark brown. Made in the USA. US Wings is an authorized vendor for US Government-issue items.

Signature Series™ Goatskin A-2 2000
|

(will open in a new window) |
|
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 A-2 2000 is equal in every way to our USAF-issue A-2 above, but with one important distinction: more pockets! After many requests, we've re-designed our most popular A-2 and added side-entry handwarmer pockets and one inside pocket as a concession to the changing times. The side-entry pockets are separate from the patch pockets, making them roomier and more accessible. Features include: snap-down collar, one piece back, 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. Made in the USA.

Signature Series™ Horsehide A-2
|

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.
Fit: Military (click for info)
This jacket, like the original WWII versions, does NOT have side-entry handwarmer pockets.

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 ocassions 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.

A US Wings Exclusive! We also offer our Signature Series™ Cowhide VIP A-2 with a zip in/out pile liner for extra warmth during cold weather. The pile liner is luxuriously soft, provides lightweight warmth without a lot of bulk, and easily zips out for warmer weather wear. The leather is buttery-soft premium cowhide, non-distressed for a more "dressier" look and features all the classic A-2 features, including: snap-down collar, stitched-down shoulder epaulets, one-piece back and sleeves, two front cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, and knit cuffs & waistband. This is still our most stylish and "upscale" A-2, now with the extra versatility of a zip out liner. 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.

Signature Series™
Antique Lambskin A-2
|
 |
|
During WWII, the "battle-worn" look of a pilot's jacket reflected his bravery, and it became like a badge of honor... and one of his most prized possessions. Our Signature Series™ Antique Lambskin A-2 jacket recreates the well-worn look of a combat veteran... in a completely new garment! Thanks to our special aging process, the premium New Zealand lambskin leather is so soft and supple, you'll have a hard time believing it isn't 50 years old! The natural bruises and irregularities gives each jacket a unique style and glory. The antiquing process allows the jacket to age rapidly as you wear it, so the time-tested look of a combat veteran can now be yours... without the time or the combat! With classic A-2 styling, it has snap-close front patch pockets (with the modern convenience of side-entry handwarmers), front zipper under windflap, stitched-down epaulets, a snap-down collar, one inside pocket, knit cuffs and waistband, and contemporary full-cut sizing to give you freedom of movement. Made in the USA, exclusively by US Wings.
Fit: Normal (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.

(will open in a new window) |

As a volunteer unit, the AVG Flying Tigers were issued G-1-type jackets by the Chinese government until the AVG was disbanded in July of 1942. The Flying Tigers then became a part of the USAAF and A-2 jackets were issued to its pilots. If you want an authentic WWII A-2 jacket, our USA-made Signature Series™ Horsehide A-2 is it!
Here is your chance to own an authentic, wearable 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, with 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.
Our Flying Tigers A-2 features four authentic leather patches: a leather AVG patch on the right chest, a multi-piece leather CBI (China-Burma-India) patch on the left sleeve, and a multi-piece blood chit on the back come standard on all jackets. You then choose a leather AVG squadron patch for the left chest (see below; click image to see a more detailed pic): Adam & Eve (1st Pursuit Squadron, shown at left), Panda Bears (2nd Pursuit Squadron) or Hell's Angels (3rd Pursuit Squadron). Made in the USA.

This jacket, like the orginal WWII versions, does NOT have side-entry handwarmer pockets.

|
 |
|
This jacket is made from incredibly soft and supple antique New Zealand lambskin with all the natural graining common to this type of leather.

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!
