absolutely delighted! by Norm DePlume from Lake Forest, IL
Pros: Excellent fit. Beautifully made. Comfortable as any I've ever tried. Cons: none! Review: I haven't purchased - let alone seen - a decent product made in the USA in at least five years. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this gem on the internet. This jacket is beautifully made and fits me perfectly (I got the XL). I'm 6' 1", weigh 215 and wear a size 38 Levi Jeans (if that helps anyone with sizing questions), and this fits me as if it were tailor made. And let's not overlook the fact that it's as handsome a jacket as the fellow now wearing it... I may even buy a second one because, on those rare occasions when I've found a product this good and it came time to replace it, the company or quality was no longer available. Here's hoping that Cockpit thrives for years to come! Kudos to the fine folks at MyPilotStore.com for providing this product at the best price I've seen. And last, but not least, thanks to the sales rep at MyPilotStore who steered me to this size. His advice was spot on.

HAS ALL THE RIGHT STUFF by SETH from CHICAGO IL USA
Pros: FIT, LINING, CUFFS, ZIPPER FUNCTION Cons: HAVEN'T SEEN ANY YET Review: WELL MADE, WILL LAST FOR YEARS AND GETS BETTER LOOKING THE MORE I WEAR IT. WORTH THE EXTRA FEW DOLLARS FOR QUALITY LIKE THIS

Nice warm jacket but by Dan from Road Warrior
Pros: Warm, well stitched, quality lining. Cons: Bad leather Review: I really looked forward to getting this jacket but was disappointed with the leather. It has stripes where the leather had not adhered to the backing causing it to look like a large cat had scratched the lamb before they skinned it. Other than that, the jacket is well stitched, warm, and a quality item. It's just too bad they used factory second leather on my jacket.

by Tena-Marie from Bruceton, TN
Review: This Jacket is awesome. I bought it as a gift for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it. The sizing is perfect. The quality of leather is wonderful and it is made in the USA. I have to say that I am amazingly pleased with the customer service I received from mypilotstore.com!!! I ordered the jacket on a Monday with overnight express shipping. They called me to inform me that it was on back order and it would be a few days and offered to refund my express shipping costs. I explained to them that my boyfriends birthday was that Wednesday and I was really hoping to give him the jacket. I don't know how they did it but he was wearing the jacket that Wednesday before noon. I know where I will be buying his Christmas presents. THANK YOU MYPILOTSTORE.COM!!!!

Great leather Aviator jacket! by Marie, wife of flying man Jeff from Green Bay WI USA
Pros: Quality, appearance and pure aviation enjoyment Cons: It took a long time to exchange sizes. He was between a reg and a tall and I first went with tall. He is 6'1". Too big. Review: The leather is wonderful and will likely get softer and more "antique" with time. Contrary to some reviews, both my husband and I LOVED the lining. It gives us a smile every time. Living in Wisconsin, he needs this jacket most of the year and will thoroughly enjoy it. Plenty of room for fleece under it.

I would highly recommend this product by Kevin from Helena MT USA
Pros: Comfortable & high quality leather Cons: Expensive Review: I realize the price is higher than most flight jackets, but when you receive this product you will see the high quality that was put into this product. I love this jacket and I know it will be with me for the rest of my flying career. I have received many compliments on it. Love the inside design, and also very comfortable. CPT Kevin D.

Great piece of American History! by Buddy WIlliams from Shreveport LA USA
Pros: Good looking, very well made, and made in America! Warm, but not too heavy for mild weather. Cons: Might be a bit heavy (weight wise) for some. Review: This jacket was all I expected and then some. Very well made (in America I might add!) and extremely warm. The lining itself is like looking back in history as well. Fits true to size. And the compliments are never ending anywhere I go! Should last a long time with minimal upkeep. I'm hot-natured by rule, but have been very comfortable even in the strange Louisiana up and down weather we have! (20's at night to upper 70's during the day)

Great Leather Jacket by Kathryn from Red Bank NJ USA
Pros: Good Quality construction and materials Review: My husband LOVES this jacket. As a big guy, he often has problems with XL not really being XL. Ths product is sized accurately. Also I ordered three days before X-Mas and it made it under the tree in time.

Very Good Quality Leather by Victor from Union NJ USA
Pros: It's worth the price Review: This is a really good quality A-2 leather jacket. It was alitte stiff around the collar at frist, but it broke in after a week. I received the jacket 2 days before christmas, when I ordered it on 12-16. It's getting the worn look real easily since i got it a month ago and wearing it. There's no need to go an extra size I got a 2xl, and can still wear a sweat shirt underneath. The lining is very decorative and nice, but I would have liked to have had a plain one if I had the choice. Thanks

My husband LOVES it! by Mo from New Orleans LA USA
Pros: Quality of materials and workmanship, attention to detail Cons: Too heavy to be worn as often as my husband would like Review: A little warm for our climate, but is otherwise exactly what my husband has always wanted in a bomber jacket. Finish of the stitching and quality of the leather are excellent. Arrived quickly, around the holidays. There was an extra layer of cardboard in the box to make sure I didn't cut the jacket opening the box. They really DID think of everything! Jacket and service both exceeded expectations.

Top quality jacket for a top gun pilot by Steven from Columbus GA USA
Review: Loved this wonderful A-2 Leather Jacket!! My dad, a WWII pilot, is 86 years young and loves the feel, the warmth and the good looks of this A-2. The lining is great with artistic flair that is fun to show off. The weight is heavy but the leather is supple, unlike so many other supposed "genuine" A-2's. Very reasonable price as I saw the identical jacket on other sites/catalogs for $50 to $120 more.

Husband loves coat. by Kristine from Woodbridge VA USA
Pros: warmth Cons: none Review: I wasn't sure my husband would like this coat. He wanted a replacement for an older worn out bomber jacket. He loves it and wears it whenever possible. It is winter here in Virginia and he must stand at a train station for his commuter train. He said that his legs my be cold but he is so nice and warm from the jacket he is very comfortable. He loves the fit and style as well. We have already given out the website to others.

Better than expected by jean from Vesta,l NY USA
Pros: quality made Cons: none Review: Very high quality leather and beautifully made. I bought it for my son for Christmas. He loves it. You don't see this style or quality in any store. He will have this jacket for many years. It will never be out of style. Very thick leather and warm.

the whole experience was 5 star.. by Mark from New Dundee, On, Canada
Review: Everything about this order was top notch, the online service was great, the delivery was great, and the coat itself is amazing, the collar had a couple nicks in the leather, but I consider these the first character marks of many.... would definately purchace from MyPilotStore again...

I love it! by Dino from Cumming GA USA
Review: More than I expected. Great windbreaker. Only one small problem. It is still a little stiff. I plan to sleep in it for the next 2 weeks. That should do it.

Great Leather A-2 Jacket made in USA by Victor from Union, N.J.
Pros: Best Pricing out there on the internet or in a store for an A-2 Leather Jacket. Would buy from again. Cons: Nice lining but would be great if you could choose plain or decorative lining Review: Just got my A-2 Lambskin Jacket today. It's very tuff to find a Very Good Quality Leather Jacket made in the USA in a store today especially without paying an arm or leg. Was a bit iffy buying this off the Net, without seeing / trying it on first. They definitely keep the consumer in mind with pricing & shipping cost. It's worth the wait. 10 days from placing order to receiving jacket (on Dec. 23 no less). This Jacket is a Definite Keeper. Thank You!!!

I'll remember this purchase for the rest of my life by Proud Mom from Garden City NY
Review: For 2 years my son has been requesting an A-2 Leather jacket. I made many demands of him during that time to make sure he earned it. We then searched many web sites and found what appeared to be the perfect jacket at mypilotstore.com. We ordered it and when it arrived it was a great moment. Pure joy! It's perfect! The jacket has very high quality leather that's beautiful and soft, and seems like it will last forever. We like that it's made in the USA and I like seeing the huge smile on my son's face every time he puts it on.

Excellent Choice by Andy from Albuquerque NM USA
Review: A bit apprehensive buying online and not able to see the product first but all that faded when it arrived. The jacket was everything promised and looked excellently made. The jacket was shipped and delivered in a swift fashion and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the lambskin A2 leather jacket to anyone who appreciates quality products.

A-2 Leather Jacket by John from Manchester CT USA
Pros: Highest quality workmanship. Cons: None Review: This jacket, worn by fighter pilots since WWII, is a classic. I have always admired the jacket worn by our fighter pilots. Now I have one. And I am extremely pleased with it. It is of the finest, softest lambskin and I'm sure it will give years of wear. I am prod to wear the jacket that our heroes of WWII and Korea wore.

Stunning quality! by Michael from Cheshire CT USA
Pros: Everything! The leather, the details, the zipper, the pockets -- it's all stunningly well crafted. Cons: Possibly the weight/size and the fact that it's so warm. But really, these are qualities of this type of jacket. Review: This is my first leather jacket and it is amazing! Very thick, very heavy, just like an A-2 is supposed to be. My only complaint (if I was forced to have one) was that it's SO thick I haven't really had much chance to wear it with the weather still warm. If you're looking for a flight jacket though, this is GREAT!

Absolutely Perfect by A Customer from Newport News VA USA
Pros: Quality leather and lining. Cons: no cons to speak of. Review: This product exceeded my expectations. I gave this jacket to my best friend, who has a similar issued coat from the Army from years ago, the lining is really cool. The fit is perfect for him and he will be able to wear a thick sweatshirt/ sweater underneath if needed. After Retiring, 34 yrs as an Army SF, R&D, Instructor, test pilot, he deserved only the best of jackets and this one is surely it.

pilot jacket by Jon from Phoenix AZ USA

More than I was looking for! by Dianne from Muenster TX USA
Pros: Excellent quality! Easy ordering. Friendly, informative salesperson. Cons: Not a one. Review: This jacket met all my expectations, plus more. It was exactly what I was wanting for my husband. I shopped many stores on location and online, and lucky me, found mypilotstore.com. The site was easy to follow, full description of the jacket, and the photos were clear and impressive. When ordering the jacket, the salesperson contacted me immediately and they were very helpful, friendly, and professional. It was very close to the holidays, and I received the jacket with perfect timing. MyPilotStore added to a very happy holiday for me and especially my husband.

Works as advertised by A Customer from Australia

Great Jacket by A Customer from Alexandria,KY
Pros: Top quality tailoring and materials Cons: None Review: I am glad that you made me aware that the jackets were full cut. This allowed me to use a smaller size than I would have ordered and this jacket fits fine. I am sure the next size up would have been too big and would have had to be returned. The quality is fine and I have had many compilments on the jacket particularly since I added my squadron patches.

by Matt from Snover, MI
Review: The quality and construction of the jacket exceeded my expectations.

by A Customer from south shore of Lake Erie
Pros: lovely leather texture Cons: disappointing leather weight, crooked label, pilling waistband Review: While the leather of which the jacket is constructed is very attractively textured, I am disappointed by its light weight compared to the Avirex Varsity jacket that I have been wearing and enjoying for years; and by the facts that the label most visible when the jacket is hanging is sewn in crooked, and the inside of the jacket's elastic waistband is pilling most grievously. Altogether I do not think I really got my money's worth.

by from Tennessee
Pros: Heavy duty construction that is guarranteed to protect Cons: None Review: This jacket has met every expectation I had in a WWII A2 jacket. The quality of the product is the best i have ever seen.
