Official USAF 21st Century A-2 Jacket

The Type A-2 leather flight jacket is one of the most classic and immediately recognizable articles of military clothing ever designed. It is most closely associated with World War II U.S. Army fighter pilots, who often decorated their jackets with squadron patches and elaborate artwork painted on the back.

Cockpit USA, the prime and only USAF government contractor for Air Force issue flight jackets, now offers the updated current 21st century version of the classic A-2 Air Force pilot's jacket, made out of the same luxurious Mil. Spec. government goatskin as earlier A-2 versions. The Air Force life support division listened to their pilots' requests to modify the 1987 version of the A-2 to accommodate current needs. This jacket now offers a host of new features which do not detract from its authentic appearance but provide the user with modern day conveniences. These include hand warming pockets, underneath flap pockets, inside pockets for personal equipment and a special pen pocket inside to allow pilots access to these articles.  The A-2 Leather Jacket also features  snap-down collar and  knit cuffs and waistband.

Proudly made in the U.S.A.

Sizes:
 These jackets are roomier so order your regular size.  The sizes are standard men's coat sizes.  Generally speaking, Small is 38-40, Medium is 40-42, Large is 42-44, and XL is 46-48, and XXL is 50-52.  Please note that sizes 48 and higher are slightly more expensive (price shown in cart).

Jacket Size Chart

For an accurate measurement, you'll need a flexible tape measure (inches) and someone to help you place and read the measuring tape.  Measure the biggest circumference around the chest and keep the measuring tape horizontal, wrap around the biggest girth of the chest, keeping the measuring tape up and close to the arm pits.

A-2 21st century jacket
by Fuzzy from Summit NJ USA 

Pros: Good Price
Review: Excellent quality - I presume it is mil spec with the USAF label (even though it reads "Property Air Force U.S. Army").You honored the "best price" guarantee and I got the shipment in about a week. Many thanks for the service.

Great quality and made in the USA.
by A Customer from mount juliet TN USA 

Pros: fits well, looks great, smells great, made in USA
Cons: the knit cuffs and waste band could be heavier duty.
Review: The jacket appears well made, fits well, looks great, and it is all I thought it should be. But, it could use a different material for the lining. The lining grabs your shirt materail as you put the jacket on. And the lining on the right side puches out of the jacket when it it not zipped up. The knit materials don't look as good as the rest of the jacket but we will see how durable they are. The inside pockets are great and the utility overall it great. My last jacket of this type lasted 15 years and I think this one is even better made overall.

High Quality Purchase

A beautiful jacket.
by marilyn from tequesta FL USA 

Review: It arrived with in the time that was given for which I was happy. I was happier when I opened the box and a beautifully made, good quality jacket was inside. This was the most moderately priced of the jackets I serched yet I believe it was equal to higher end ones. I would absoluetly recommend it to anyone.

It was the perfect gift!
by Rosemary from Carrollton TX USA 

Pros: great value
Cons: none
Review: I purchased this jacket for my husband.His original is a little snug due to he has put on a "few" pounds since retirement.  The added pockets and extentions under the arms of the jacket are what he noticed imediately.  He stated,"we used to have these added to the jacket."   The fit is perfect.  If "The Colonel" is impressed with the quality and price of this jacket...everyone should be!  Fast/great service was included in the purchase.

Awesome Jacket
by Arthur from Valparaiso IN USA 

Review: Beautiful Quality and Styling.

Good Quality Product
by Jerry L. from Winter Springs FL USA 

Pros: Nice materials and stiching and it smells like leather .
Cons: Took longer to receive than quoted, but I wasn't in a hurry.
Review: The A-2 jacket met my expectations. It seems to be well constructed with good materials. However, the size I ordered was 42, the size I received was 44. It seems to fit OK and I like a little room under the jacket in case I wear a sweater. All-in-all I am pleased with the jacket.

Best jacket I have ever purchased.
by A Customer from San Francisco CA USA

Cons: None

The best jackets ever...period
by Tweak from Colorado Springs CO USA 

Pros: Great in all weather and absolutely superb leather
Cons: None
Review: As a Navigator, I was issued a few of these jackets over the years (with velcro). The quality and fit of these is far superior to the issued models. The A-2 is great in almost any weather, and in any situation from formal to casual. Recommend getting "exact" chest size rather than 1-upping the size as mentioned in previous review. The jacket is like a second skin so you want it a tad on the snug side, then break it in! r/Tim

nice jacket but
by Shon from Delano MN USA 

Pros: not many
Cons: expinsive ive seen china jackets with better quality
Review: Nice jacket but,the leather is thin,it almost look like burns on the leather little spots on front cuffs and bottom got frizzy the first time i wore it too expensive for what you get!

Friday, January 04, 2008
by Leon from Florence MS USA 
Review: Even though it is cut full, it is still very snug, almost too small. Size if correct.

Top Shelf
by A Customer from  

Review: Just as I was issued a few years ago. Only better! This jacket has better quality leather and knit cuffs and back strap. Finally a jacket I can wear anywhere and not have that stupid Velcro on the front.

Tuesday, May 29, 2007
by Mark Gibson from Melbourne, Australia 
Review: This is simply a beautifully crafted garment. I've owned several bomber jackets, but they don't even rate closet space near this garment. The fit finish and material are faultless. Lots of people screw up this American classic - but not Cockpit USA. Only one problem - my dad now wants me to get him one! Mark Gibson - Melbourne Australia

Updated features appreciated on A-2
by Dave "PROPWASH" Deeks from Bend,OR 

Pros: authentic vintage look, leather/construction quality,value
Cons: sizing guidelines (needed one size over sportcoat size)
Review: I've owned several different flight jackets during my USAF pilot years and post active duty. This is my second Avirex A-2 acquired due to my "expanded" needs. Leather and construction quality are first rate and the interior pockets and side entry feature really improve the jackets overall utility.
