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.

- Mil spec cotton blend tonal lining
- Snap down collar
- Mil spec made in USA brass front zipper under wind flap
- Two front flap snap pockets

21st Century Flight Jacket
- By David from Bixby OK USA on Tuesday, January 13, 2026
- Pros: Excellent fit, classic styling, good quality materials and construction.
- Review: This is the first quality leather jacket I have purchased. I ordered the next size up from my actual size and couldn’t be happier. The sleeve length is perfect for my slightly shorter than average arms and the body fits like it was made for me. The goat skin leather is of great quality and feels very durable. The color is dark enough that it goes with pretty much everything I wear. Overall, a great looking, quality jacket.

Review:
Pro- proper size 42, fit well ( 5' 10" - 180 lbs - 41" chest, 34" waist )
Con- not as nice of leather as US Wings version, inferior knit cuffs and waistband as well- alot pricer)
Bottom line- I kept this one and returned US Wings version because of the much better fit ( their Small was too small and their Medium was too big )
Also- My Pilot Store had the best price on this particular jacket that I could find

Best fit, well proportioned
- By Doug from Yuma AZ USA on Monday, May 5, 2025
- Pros: Proper and accurate sizing
- Review: Bought an A2 from Wings but wasn't satisfied with the sizing. This one from Cockpit was sized better( 42 vs medium which fit like a 44 ) I only give it 4 stars because the Wings version was better quality leather and knit on the sleeves and waist as well as $100 cheaper. If the Wings version fits you it's a better buy.
