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 (formerly Avirex LTD), 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.

Great Jacket
by Frank of the Skies from New York 

Pros: Great construction. Authentic styling.
Cons: Arrived badly creased. Pilling on cuffs and waistband.
Review: The jacket is as described and is well made. The leather isn't quite as buttery soft as I had expected though. It sort of squeaks when I bend my arms but I imagine it needs to be broken in. The only real negatives I can report is that the jacket arrived with a really nasty crease in the back that after weeks of wear is still there. I've tried steaming but it doesn't work. The other gripe I have is that after only a few weeks of light wear the knit cuffs and waistband are beginning to pill.

I don't want to be all negative about this jacket though. For the price, I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend the Cockpit A-2.

I would buy this product again
by Don from WHITTIER CA USA 

Review: I love this jacket. It fits perfectly and is of the very finest quality leather. Very satisfied

Tuesday, January 31, 2012
Great Quality and Fit
by Paul from Kingwood TX USA 

Pros: Great quality leather. Love the interior pockets.
Cons: Two pieces of leather on the rear of the sleeves
Review: Great quality and exactly what I expected. Not sure how they can beat the manufacturer's price but that why I chose them.

It's a USAF issue Jacket, of course it's Authentic!!
by CALLSIGN: FRENCHMAN from Woodstock, GA 

Pros: AUTHENTIC, IMPROVEMENTS ARE GREAT
Cons: It's a military issue jacket
Review: It really goads me on some of the reviews I have read on this jacket from people who either have never been in the Air Force or just plain ignorant. The reviews that it isn't authentic enough---hello, it's a USAF issue A2. The pockets are too small---hello, it's a military issue flight jacktet. The lining is rough... hello that is the original military issue spec. If you want larger pockets or a silky lining, buy a knock-off A2 from China.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012
by John from Springdale AR USA 
Review: I had a previous one I bought about 25 yrs. ago so natually I compared the "old" to the "new". A little disapointed in the color but it's o.k. The fit was "just right". The new zipper seams to be less quality but I'll wait to see. The leather doesn't seem as soft but maybe it is just new and will soften over time. However, all in all, I love it. I can highly recommend it.

Pure Classic Perfection
by Joe from Warrenton VA USA 

Pros: Made in the U.S.A. quality construction, material, and fit.
Cons: Does not come with an endorsement to fly the B-17.
Review: I received this as a gift, and it was a totally unexpected one at that. Having had the pleasure of wearing this jacket for several weeks now, I can only say that I can't imagine owning (or wearing) any other jacket!

This is the real deal. Made in the USA, and it shows! You won't get quality like this elsewhere. This jacket has it's roots in American aviation history and it literally oozes class.

You will not be disappointed with this jacket!

Great Jacket
by Jim from Bethel Park PA USA 

Pros: Quality, fit.
Review: Received this jacket for Christmas. Quality is top notch and looks great.

Wednesday, January 04, 2012
Exactly as described
by James from Kingsport, TN 

Pros: Quality of the leather, stitching, fit and finish
Cons: none
Review: My jacket arrived promptly and was exactly as described. The fit was perfect. Just what I was expecting. This jacket was a replacement for one I have had for almost 30 years and this one seems to be of even better quality. The only issue I have had is with the lining. While it is superb, it is sometimes difficult to get my arms into the jacket due to the roughness of the material. I wish it could have had a smoother, slicker lining in the sleeves. However, that is a personal preference and I would recommend this jacket to anyone.

Great update of the old A-2!
by Timothy from Irving TX USA 

Pros: Updates and quality.
Cons: Need a heavier duty zipper.
Review: Love the updates they have made to the A-2 jacket...especially the hidden handwarmers and full sizing. Great quality and function. Very well made in all aspects. Perfect for the Texas weather.

Wednesday, January 04, 2012
My favorite jacket
by Ham from Alpine UT USA 

Pros: Very well made
Cons: none
Review: I really like this jacket, it has become my favorite and I am wearing it all the time. Classy but simple, it looks good on the flightline, at work or out to dinner.

Nice looking jacket, but not functional
by David from Brandon SD USA 

Review: This is a very nice looking jacket, with quality leather. I have had good comments from a lot of people. However, I found the pockets are too small. I can't put a small pair of leather gloves in the side pockets. The inside pen pockets are too deep. Put a pen in there and you will be using your leatherman to get it out.

The last thing I did not like about this jacket, is it doesn't have a bit of insulation. But then again, since I can't carry a pair of gloves with it, I won't be using it for the winter.

My Go To Jacket!
by SJB from great neck NY USA 

Pros: Thick gauge leather
Cons: Rough Lining
Review: Great jacket!  This goat skin jacket is amazon, has a smooth finish that shines.   Needs breaking in for sure, order current size.  Do not upsize.  Plenty of room for a sweater.  Lining could be of a smoother material.  Snap at bottom and top of wind flap would be good.  Best for moderate temps. Will only get better with time.

Tuesday, November 22, 2011
Outstanding jacket
by Charlie from Port Crane NY USA 

Pros: Good leather, good design & style, good craftsmanship.
Cons: Perhaps a collar snap for the wind flap.
Review: Have no complaints at all. Worth the price in every way. By happy chance it fit as if taylored and that certainly pleases me. Your results may vary. Craftsmanship is top rate and the materials seem very good. I've been living in it since it arrived. Works for both formal and casual wear.

Monday, November 21, 2011
by Brian from Cosby MO USA 
Pros: Much improved over the 90's version. Looks great!
Cons: None
Review: Great quality and fit! I love to wear this jacket and everyone comments on how cool it is. I owned the original 90's version and this a great improvement.

Tuesday, November 15, 2011
Everything I expected.
by Henry from Douglasville GA USA 

Pros: Looks good. Excellent quality. Warm and comfortable to wear.
Cons: Nothing comes to mind.
Review: Perfect. I had the Navy version back when I was in the Navy, but I never cared for the fur collar. Always gave me a stiff neck. The Air Force version is comfortable. Also, I really like the side pockets feature.

Monday, November 14, 2011
This jacket is superb!
by A Customer from Yorktown VA USA 

Review: Better than the one I was issued 7 years ago. Side-by-side comparison: identical structure, but better brown color, thicker & softer leather, better cuff & waist trim, more natural looking tan liner, better pull tab on zipper. Best price also:-)

by Nissan Bar from Tel-Aviv, Israel 
Review: The Official USAF 21st Century A-2 Jacket - 38 is a fantastic, high quality materials made by USAF. I am happy to have this jacket. The size 38 is a little bit big to my fit. I recomend to everyone who looks for pilots jacket-this is the website to order this item. I got my jacket in Israel two weeks after I ordered the item. The Service of Staff is very considerable. Nissan Bar from Israel.

Very pleased
by Fred from Grapevine TX USA 

Review: I am very pleased with the quality, fit, and value of this jacket. Well done!

Tuesday, October 25, 2011
Style is ALMOST right.
by Edward from Wellington CO USA 

Pros: Still worthy of purchace.
Cons: Not as authentic as I expected.
Review: I had bought this jacket as a replacement for a former A-2 by a different supplier, that looked identical to the WWII jackets. The zipper 'pull' failed to lock the zipper together properly after many years use. I bought this one as a replacement, then found a seamstress who simply replaced the 'pull', informing me that the failure to lock a zipper closed was usually the 'pull'. She was correct. I'll still keep this newer one in reserve, however. It is well made but not as authentic-looking.

Tuesday, September 27, 2011
I plan to buy another A-2 jacket for a Christmas gift.
by George from Rancho Palos Verdes CA USA 

Pros: Quality of the leather is noteworthy.
Cons: Not sure the zipper will stand up to use as well as my issue A-2.
Review: The quality and workmanship exceeded expectations coupled with the timely free delivery. It compares very favorably with my official issue A-2.The pockets and inner pen pouch are a plus.

Exceptional Jacket - Above Reproach
by John D. Moore Jr. from Albuquerque, NM 

Pros: High quality craftsmanship; superb leather; pen pockets; hand warmer pockets
Review: My A-2 jacket far and away exceeded my expectations. I've had an A-2 issued to many years ago while serving in the USAF and it seems inferior to my new A-2 jacket. The fit was perfect, and the quality and craftsmanship that went into making this jacket is exceptional. Kudos to Cockpit USA on their unbelievable jacket. It will see many, many years of solid use ahead and I believe it will definitely hold up as well, if not even better, than my issued A-2.

Great Jacket
by Alan from Lyons NY USA 

Review: Fit and finish are just what I expected. I will tell my friends.

Tuesday, August 09, 2011
by Grace from WI USA 
Review: I would buy this product again.

Monday, June 20, 2011
The jacket is very comfortable and fits very well. It is not to heavy and can be worn in warmer weather as wl all cool.
by Ken from Aurora CO USA 

Review: It met with all my expectations and then some. It doesn't need any changes.

Nice jacket, wish snap pockets on front were bigger
by Bruce from Austin TX USA 

Pros: Built to last, lots of pockets, warm
Cons: Snap pockets are too small for me to be almost useless if you are using the hand warmer pockets.
Review: I really like all the pockets in this jacket. My one gripe are the snap pockets, they just aren't as big as the pockets on the jacket I'm replacing by purchasing this new jacket. This might not be an issue for some who isn't use to a larger pocket jacket. Looks good on me and it is warm, it actually might be a little heavy for Texas weather but I'm looking forward to having it on when I am at 6000 feet in my PPC and it is really cold up there. Nice hand warmer pockets that are very useful if you don't have anything in the too small snap pockets. My last jacket lasted 30 years. The construction on this one will likely make it the last jacket I'll be buying this lifetime, 30+ I'm guessing. Hell for stout as we would say in Texas.

Roomier than expected
by C Springs Officer from Monument CO USA 

Pros: Quality is apparent
Cons: Slightly baggy in its cut
Review: Heavier than the jacket I was issued...thanks! Quality is apparent. Roomier than I expected, even though I had read the reviews that said it was roomier.

Thursday, May 26, 2011
Just what I expected
by A Customer from  

Pros: Good quality and good fit.
Cons: Wish I could order one in black.
Review: This is a quality jacket. I was apprehensive about what size to order and was pleasantly surprised that I was able to order my actual chest size and receive a jacket that fit. The price was very competetive for a product made in the U.S. That's a win/win .

Still a solid classic
by patrick from Norwalk CT USA 

Pros: excellent fit for me
Cons: zipper seems delicate- could use a mesh BBerry size zipped inner pocket
Review:

This is my second A2 in 22 years when I've gone from a 44T to 48Tall (which is slightly oversized for me) but I use it a lot when travelling and have room to layer with sweaters as i fly between climates from 0 F to rainy 70F.

My only concern was that the zipper seemed a bit light/thin for such a heavy duty jacket but it looks like it will survive . Of course the new jacket was a bit stiff but after beating it on the floor a few times and sleeping in it on long flights to Asia/Europe it is becoming a second skin like my first one. I have a bunch of various North Face jackets which are fine but too delicate for many conditions I'm in. This A2 is indestructible however and a keeper.

Great Flight Jacket
by Jack from north bellmore new york USA 

Pros: Excellent leather and quality construction, looks great.
Cons: None
Review:

Leather quality is great. Like the old days, not like the cheap leather you find today. Jacket is well made for years of use. Follow mypilotstore directions for size if you want correct fit

Saw one and had to have one!
by Wayne from Henrico VA USA 

Pros: Fit, material, style...all dead on.
Cons: None
Review: It met all my expectations...fit well, made extremely well with fantastic fabrics, and has the original flight jacket styling.

The first wearable A2 I've had
by A Customer from Charlotte, NC 

Pros: Great leather and workmanship, priced nice !
Cons: a little baggy in the lower back but I'll take the hit and revel in the comfort
Review: Well made and the fit is just great. I've had the $1,000 jackets before and as wonderful as they are to behold, I was never really comfortable in them. This jacket looks great and I have a feeling I can wear it AND move around all at the same time!
(sizing note- I usually wear a 42L or 43L sport coat and I got the 44R, which fits just right. They are roomy but not all that much so in the sleeves and shoulders)

Excellent jacket - love it!
by WS - Chip from Birmingham AL USA 

Pros: Comfortable; good fit; heavy weight; ample pockets
Review: This jacket is everything I had hoped it would be. It looks great, feels great, wears great... I've gotten many nice compliments about it. I ordered my regular size and it fits very well, even over a heavy sweater or fleece vest. It is of a heavier weight leather than I expected, which is a plus. Workmanship seems excellent. Ample pockets provide places for wallet, keys, pens, etc. It is not a warm jacket, but with a vest, it works well on all but the most frigid days. Delivery was prompt. Excellent value.

Wednesday, February 23, 2011
Great quality
by Wazza from Karratha WA Australia 

Pros: well made ,comfortable.
Cons: more internal large pockets please, ? a black option
Review: Well made , great workmanship, comfortable to wear and accurate fit.

Great Jacket
by Ron from Fruita, Colorado 

Pros: Great brown color, substantial weight and has that wonderful leather smell!
Cons: Absolutely none.
Review: This is the best A-2 I have owned and could not be happier with it. I was a little concerned about what size to order. I'm 5'10", weigh 155 and wear a 40R suit coat. My jacket is a 40R and fits fine with adequate room for a sweater if desired. Hope this might help someone to decide.

Tuesday, January 18, 2011
Excellent
by Tulsaweather from Tulsa OK USA 

Pros: sturdy, robust, fits like a tailored jacket.
Review: Very well built jacket. As others have said, they are sized in a roomy manner. I wear a 42R suit jacket, but the size 40 A-2 jacket fits perfectly.

Monday, January 10, 2011
Makes me feel young again!
by Larry D. from Perkasie PA USA 

Pros: High quality, good fit, durable.
Cons: storm flap bends out near the top.
Review: All that I wanted and more. Very comfortable and perfect fit. Love the feel and ease of movement in it. The only addition I would like is a snap to hold the storm flap closed on the bottom and the same near the top.

Great jacket!
by Mark from Decatur GA USA 

Pros: classic A2 look, versatile for all types of weather or activity
Review: This jacket has enough room that you can easily wear it over a sweater or liner, but when you wear it by itself it looks good, not baggy. It's a great jacket for wind or rain. Worn over a sweater it's kept me warm with the temp below freezing. I've worn it out to dinner and when working in the yard. This is just a great all around jacket.

Tuesday, November 02, 2010
Excellent purchase
by A Customer from Sparta NJ USA 

Pros: Great fit and looks!
Cons: None
Review: This is the real deal.  Excellent purchase, great looks and is true to size. I would recommend this jacket to anyone interested in an authentic A2 jacket.

A pleasure to wear nice jacket, not fake
by Andrei from Moscow Russian Federation 

Pros: Excellent leather
Cons: Wish for slightly heavy zipper
Review: Most excellent jacket I ever wore. Thick and heavy but very soft leather, as I like. And natural color. Two pockets are useful. But I a little doubt about durability of poly/cotton liner, I got accustomed for nylon/cotton or nylon. But I confide in professionals of Cockpit and believe liner will run all life of jacket. And may be slightly heavy zipper would be on the jacket. Thank you for your time.

A Great Jacket
by AJ from Chicago, IL 

Pros: Quality construction and a great look!
Cons: Hanging Loop
Review: This is my second goat skin A2 (lost 40 lbs) and it is an absolutely great looking and feeling jacket. I wear my A2 early fall to late spring. A thinsulate vest is sufficient for all but the coldest Chicago winter days. My first A2 had a much smaller hanging loop inside the collar. This one seems too large and has a tendency to poke the back of the neck, particulary when seated. The hanging loop is a bit of a useless detail, and I think it should be eliminated.

Friday, May 07, 2010
Good quality!
by Dean from Grand Forks, ND USA 

Pros: High quality materials and construction. Looks good!
Cons: None!
Review: The jacket looks great and the price was right. It fits well with enough room to wear a sweater if needed. I'm looking forward to wearing this fine jacket for many years!

Love the jacket.
by Terry from Huntsville AL USA 

Pros: Very high quality, just the right length in body and sleeves.
Cons: wish it had snap closure at the bottom like Army issue jackets and the US flag on the inside would be a great touch also.
Review: I love my new jacket. I am sorry to see spring coming now that I have it.

Tuesday, March 02, 2010
I would buy this product again
by Courtney from Charlotte NC USA 

Pros: well made from GOOD skins, good fit
Cons: inconveniently placed handwarmers (no biggie)
Review: I love my new A-2; the leather is heavy but not weighty, and I wanted a generous, oversize fit so 54 was good for that. Closer to the body I would get a 50. My only complaint (tiny) is that the handwarmer pocket seem inconveniently placed, behind the flap pockets. No biggie. This is first rate premium jacket!

Monday, March 01, 2010
I would buy this product again
by A Customer from Richmond VA USA 

Pros: good coat
Cons: bad service
Review: The jacket is great, but it was upsetting that you charged $30 postage on an exchange - charged me for the [2nd Day Air] shipping that I initially got for $2.00.

Wednesday, February 03, 2010
The Real Deal
by Jerry from Papillion NE USA 

Pros: Fit and finish are top notch
Cons: This is not a cold weather jacket -- but I knew that.
Review: This A-2 jacket was inspected by a USAF aviator; he says it is an authentic product with all the latest innovations. Being goat skin, it conforms to the milspec and by all appearances is exactly the same as the ones I see flight crews wearing at the local air base. If there is one drawback it is that the sleeves may be just a tad too short for my long arms. It would have been nice to have an option for another inch of sleeve length. I see that some of the flight crew members have the same problem. Otherwise the fit/feel is as expected.

My husband loves his new jacket
by Lynn from San Diego CA USA 

Pros: Durable, attractive in style and color
Cons: Initially a little less flexible than I anticipated
Review: The new jacket is wonderful, well constructed and seems very durable. My husband loves it although he is still pretty attached to his 21 year old bomber jacket because it is soft and flexible after much wear. I hope this one mellows a little and becomes more like wearing a glove. He saves this new one for 'dressy occasions.'

A product ready to see me through two more decades of history
by Dave from Rocklin CA USA 

Pros: Finish, fit, glove, quality, appearance
Cons: Seems light in weight but has proven to be wind resistant and warm
Review: This soft yet rugged jacket is perfect for my afternoons in the woods or an evening on the town. The finish is supple yet the construction appears bullet-proof. This baby replaces a twenty-year old aviator jacket made of cow's hide. Will keep the old one because it has history, but looking forward to creating new history with this one. Thanks for a job well done.

Awesome jacket
by A Customer from Kendall Park NJ USA 

Pros: good leather quality, roomy, good utility space. warm.
Cons: none
Review: It met all of my expectations. by the way you should really order your exact size because these things really are roomy.  The interior pockets and pen holder have proven very usefull for me as well. It's a great jacket all around.

Friday, January 15, 2010
by David from Salem, OR 
Review: Arrived quickly. Shipped the next day. Color of jacket shown on web page appearing lighter than what I received. I have owned a Vietnam era goatskin A-1 jacket (which was Dark brown) and this is the same. Very pleased with color and craftsmanship. The stitching is as was expected with military issue jackets. Very well made. This is the real deal. Thanks!

GREAT
by Pfc. Joey "ZaZa" from NY 

Pros: well made, just as described
Cons: zipper seems a bit stiff. I suggest putting a little candle wax on the teeth if you can't get a taylor's chaulk
Review: As a WWII Re-enactor, I chose this particular model because of the side entry pockets and the interior pockets (more room to stash personal, non-period correct items). The jacket is very comfortable to wear. I took my chest measurement with a heavy sweater on and ordered a 42. It fits perfectly...over a sweater. While wearing it over a T-shirt, it is big. The description says it's cut with a little extra room and to order one's normal size. My advise is to consider what look and fit you're going for and what you will most often wear it over. Another slight issue is the color. It really is the color pictured; dark chocolate brown. Sort of the same color as an officer's 4 pocket tunic.

Tuesday, January 05, 2010
by John from Greensboro NC USA 
Pros: Great fit. I'm glad I ordered one size larger than I first planned.
Cons: Shipment took 2 weeks.Rep told me delay was due to release paperwork at warehouse.
Review: Rich color. Good detail in workmanship. Overall quality feel.

Very nice, plus made in the USA
by Ken from Woodbury , MN USA 

Pros: Ordered size 48. It fits very nicely.
Cons: Can't think of any.
Review: The quality of the leather and the workmanship are top shelf. I love it. I would buy it again, but at my age (60's ) I probably won't need another one !!

I would buy this product gain.
by Tim from Cordova TN USA 

Review: Very good jacket. I am happy with it.

Wednesday, November 18, 2009
I like it
by George from Hillsville VA USA 

Review: It's a great jacket.  I should have paid more attention to your sizing recommendations.  I ordered one size up, as I have done before, and it's a little big.

by Alisanne from Richmond VA USA 
Review: The jacket is beautiful.The leather is soft and top quality. Thank you for your fabulous service.

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.

Tuesday, February 17, 2009
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.

Wednesday, February 11, 2009
High Quality Purchase
by Doctor H from naperville IL USA 

Pros: High quality materials
Review: This was a smart purchase of a quality product. The leather is the highest quality and the zipper is a high quality brass-looking material. Size is accurate.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
