Pros: Great Quality, Good feel, fits good!
Cons: Zipper leather pull tab ripped off just a couple of months in to use.
Review:
Very nice product, great feel, had it a couple of months and it's just starting to break in nicely. Can wait for about a year down the road when it has some wear and tear on it, I bet it will feel great. Please use a better pull tab on zipper. For $600 dollar you would think a nice logo pull tab would be installed.

Ultimate Finesse In Leather Goods.-
By Santiago Iglesias Garca
from San Javier, Murcia (Spain)
on Friday, March 15, 2013
Pros: Classy, sturdy, undoubtedly beautiful.
Cons: Maybe I should have bought a size less...
Review:
When I was able to finally put my hands on this jacket, I felt totally astonished. Being lambskin, it seemed to me a really sturdy leather but with a special smoothness. The lining is pure and simple artwork, and no doubt it keeps you warm no matter the weather. And the aroma... Once I hung it in my wardrobe, It seemed to soak all my clothes with a pleasant scent. On the subject of sizes, I suggest to choose yours or even one size less. When they say it's roomy, they don't lie. It is, and you must be some kind of a bodybuilder to correctly fit a XL (I'm 1'82 meters tall and weigh 105 kg, but there's still plenty of room in my A-2). I use to combine it with jeans and Dr. Martens-like brown boots, but a pair of Khakis or Dockers would also combine perfectly, just to mention two examples. Finally, My Pilot Store; a serious, thorough, careful service. I'm glad I did business with them. Expensive? No way Jose. You get what you paid for, period.

Well constructed jacket
By Edward J Barrett
from Queensbury NY USA
on Monday, May 13, 2013
Pros: Good value
Cons: Slightly heavy -but to be expected with the leather coat.
Review:
I have found the A-2 leather jacket to be not only good looking but functional with no quality issues to date. I have had the jacket about 2 months. I have not tested the jacket in weather below 30 F but I think with proper under garments it should be fine. It is fine alone in weather above 30 F and fun to wear because of the look and the pockets available to carry stuff you do not want to loose. The pockets are well built and deep. The jacket is just starting to show normal wear which makes it look better- not so new looking. I will need more time with the jacket to see if it will meet the test of normal wear and tear, but by inspection of the stitching and zipper construction I think it will last for years.

Great Jacket
By steve
from Deer Park WA USA
on Friday, June 11, 2021
Review:
I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs. and the jacket fits well. Ordered a large tall and the sleeve length is just a tad long but not a problem. The jacket is heavy and of high quality. Should be warm in cold weather. Looks great. As a prior military and airline pilot I think I have a jacket to last into my "sunset" years!

I reviewed many different jackets and must say this is one great coat. I am a 42R 175 lbs. 5'10" and the medium was a perfect fit and not too tight. Customer service was great and spot on as to my size. The only small thing is the jacket has a bit of a strange odour. Not really a leather smell,but I think in time this will dissapate. Again,no big deal at all. Definately two thumbs up. Only problem is I want to buy more Cockpit coats!

Outstanding, classy well-made leather jacket.
By
from Sacramento, CA
on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Pros: Honors all of our military in a very classy way.
Cons: Very long sleeves.
Review:
It is a fuller cut with longer sleeves, so order accordingly. Lambskin looks & feels great; very soft but not as durable as goatskin. The inside is a work of art in itself. Don't leave it sitting on the back of a chair in a public place, it'll be gone in a hearbeat.

Pros: Absolutely bang on.

Review:
Only our American cousins can produce an aviators jacket of this calibre. It's worth every penny even after Her Majesty's government customs took their cut. It's beautifully made and looks "real cool" my wife and the ladies are impressed! I took the advice of the team at My Pilot Store on the size. If you want that tailored look order one size down. I am 5'11" tall and 175 lbs and I ordered a medium, it's perfect. I have even worn mine with a collar and tie!! Lovely and warm and all I wear underneath is a shirt. Nice one chaps

Pros: beautiful heavy leather. pockets galore! I don't need a purse when I wear it. So many compliments. Warm. It is my go to jacket .
Cons: NONE!!!
Review:
This jacket is beautiful and high quality leather! I'm so thrilled with this jacket. I was worried about the size...I'm 5'6" 185lbs and the large is perfect and roomy. XL too big. I liked mine so well that I purchased one for my father for Christmas. He could not have been happier. He's 5'11" 200Lbs and XL was perfect for him. Don't hesitate this is the best quality leather jacket I've seen on the market. I couldn't think of anything to improve it.I covered pin up girl with a pin up guy but that was only improvement I made.

Trying to match an old lambskin flight jacket

Pros: Style and quality of the lambskin leather
Cons: Its a little stiff at first but softens with wear.
Review:
I had a 25 year old flight jacket that I loved. I received compliments almost every time I wore it. Like all things time took it's toll. I have been looking for years for a flight jacket to replace the old one. This jacket is what I have been looking for. This jacket has the same decorative satin lining as the old one. The quality of the leather is out standing. It is soft,supple and gets softer with wear. I am sure you will love it.

An absolute treasure
By Papi
from So. Cal.
on Sunday, November 18, 2018
Pros: Fit, quality of raw materials and construction, solid and substantial
Cons: The cut is fairly slim. I wear a size 44 and the L recommendation was right on the edge
Review:
I'm totally in love with this jacket. The quality of the leather, stitching and construction are all excellent. I get a positive comment just about every time I wear it in public and I can't wait for another opportunity to put it on. It fits like a glove and just slides into place like I've been wearing it for years even though it's only a few months old. The pattern in the lining is awesome and props to the American workers who assembled this work of art. One item though, this is a seriously built garment that weighs a lot. Even though the leather is supple it's also very substantial. After receiving it I would have paid twice the price!

Pros: construction, warmth, appearance
Cons: none
Review:
My first impressions with this jacket have been overwhelming. I had worn out multiple leather jackets before biting the bullet and buying the A-2. It was stiff to start, requiring a break-in period (just like fine leather boots) but has been a dream to wear. We have had one of the most nasty winters in recent history here on the east coast and the jacket has really impressed me with it's warmth and weather resistance. The A-2 is the real deal!

When I ordered it, my wife was concerned about the price and the past disappointments we have had with other jacket manufacturers. Now that she has seen and worn it, she likes it so much that she simply must have one too. I also have the "Cockpit" Tanker Jacket. You guys have quality unsurpassed by anyone, hands down. Oh, and it's "Made In The USA". (don't hear that much anymore!)

As described! Fits great, the cut is a little on the large size, but if you're larger on the top part of your body you need to order your normal size if not order one size down if you really want that tailored fit... The quality is unsurpassed. This is a jacket you can pass down to the next generation. Highly recommend this jacket if you're looking for the best and don't mind spending a little extra to get the very best! Do not hesitate to buy this one! 10+ **************

Excellent quality
By JMM
from San Francisco
on Saturday, August 06, 2016
Review:
Very well made, good looking classic leather jacket. The reviews say the sizes run large and that is true--that's great for us old farts but the guys in their 20/30s like a tighter fit. I bought a large for my son for his 30th birthday but he'd prefer a tighter fit so I'm keeping his and getting him a medium. I can't emphasize enough how high the quality is--American made really does mean something. Beautiful finish and color. And as the reviewers say, it's quite warm--I guess made for being at 25K feet with no heating. Only negative: there is a beautiful tribute sewn into the lining to WWII servicemen, as though the wearer is that pilot. I feel it's disrespectful to those who did serve for people like me who did not to wear this tribute. I've gotten over this by interpreting it as a reminder to thank my Dad in my memory and others who did serve in WWII and since. But I think the company, a high quality manufacturer, should think about the ethical implications of this to insure that they are not a part of encouraging people who did not serve to pretend they did.

Being that I haven't owned any other similar leather jackets I can't honestly compare it to others. I can only comment on the product at hand. It is a beautiful comfortable and warm jacket. The moment you remove it from the packaging and feel the weight you know that it is something special. The lining, the leather and zipper oozes quality. It appears capable of lasting you a lifetime. Glad I spent a little more than I was planning on.

I love this jacket. 1st time on it fit like a glove! Very comfortable and it's just starting to break in. Pockets and locations are fine with me. Breaks the cold wind very well. With some undercover it was warm in upper 20's - low 30's. In my opinion it is as advertised plus some. I always look forward to wearing it. Present pricing here cannot be beat also. Better buy now! Same jacket up to $795 elsewhere.
Don't leave it where someone can grab it!

If You're "Old-School," You've Just Found your Holy Grail!
By Mike
from San Francisco Bay Area
on Tuesday, October 24, 2017
Pros: Unequivocally well made; classic, historical and simple (not ostentatious), warm and enveloping
Cons: More inside labels informational patches than is necessary
Review:
I was impressed with the fit and finish immediately. The leather (ah, and that smell...) actually has some nice give and softness for being new. It still needs to be broken in but it couldn't have a better initial feel. The jacket also has an overall warm and enveloping feel to it, which in the long run -- and irrespective of that it's also desirable that it is a classic A-2 replica -- this is why I covet a comfortable man's (and not a "designer") leather jacket. I always love snap-buttons on a jacket, and they're employed well with the largish side pockets (also side entry) and as I'm a button-down guy from way back, I LOVE the snap-button down collars. I also like the knit-gathering at the waist - it fits to your form, closes the bottom and doesn't just lay there like other outer garments. At 6'2"/215lbs I first purchased an XL but found that I almost "swam" in that. The re-order of a Large was absolutely perfect. Also, I wouldn't worry about getting a "tall" jacket if you're my height. My arms are long and the regular "L" size is just right. The manufacturer went slightly overboard with all the inside written historical panels and claims of being American made, but that's my only nit. The price is not inexpensive, but is what you would expect to pay for this kind of quality. If you feel you deserve it though and want this jacket to last, that should end that discussion. Beyond that, when I wear this jacket, it makes me feel like a million bucks and I am more than proud to own it (also, my dad was a Captain during WWII in the USAAC). That's about as sterling a testimonial as I can give, and well-deserved it is.

Top notch jacket
By Piloto66
from Redwood City CA USA
on Saturday, December 06, 2014
Pros: Warm, comfortable, sharp looking
Cons: Beats me!
Review:
Expected the highest quality in a flight jacket and was not in the least disappointed. Love the authentic look of the jacket and the quality of the leather in particular. Knowing from the reviews that it runs a little large, I ordered one size smaller than what I usually wear, and the end result is that I love the fit as well. The jacket is somewhat heavy, but that is not a negative as far as I am concerned. Its primary function is to keep me warm, and it will certainly do that.

Fantastic Jacket

Pros: Great fit, very heavy weight, completely happy with it.
Cons: None
Review:
This jacket exceeded my expectations! It's much heavier than I thought it would be, making it perfect for the colder weather. I looked for years trying to find just the right one for my retired Air Force husband. He loves it and so do I. We couldn't be happier with our choice. Your service was fantastic and so is the jacket. I will be purchasing more products, thank you for making it easy to make my husband smile. You totally rock in every single step of my purchase.

My husband had a very worn jacket like this... He LOVED his jacket! It needed to be replaced- lasted him forever! (I am sure he still is hanging on to the last one somewhere) but he needed to look more professional. This one met his expectations in every way, and that makes me happy! Might need a replacement in ten years or so.

A Jacket for a lifetime!
By A Customer
from Arizona
on Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Review:
This jacket is just what I had hoped for: superbly constructed, the highest quality lambskin leather (hides are flawless), impeccable stitching and finish. It meets the highest expecations for craftmanship and quality. There is a heavy duty zipper which is quite stiff and needed a bit of work with some soap and light olive oil. Be prepared this is a fully lined jacket so it offers some real protection from the elements and will only look better with the patina of age. Runs true to size.

Top of The Line! As Beautiful and Rugged as a P-51 Mustang!

Review:
I am a Pilot, War Bird Enthusiast, Motorcyclist...I Love this symbol of our American Heritage. I researched and shopped hard before purchasing this jacket. After trying other A-2's half the price and some twice as much I settled on the one from "My Pilot Store." I was Ecstatic! Best purchase ever! From the Beautiful Leather Exterior to the Patriotic Silk Screened Interior, It is instantly recognized as top of the line. Excellent Quality Through Out! I am very pleased, plus it fits perfect. I am most proud of the date stamp on the label, "1945" truly America's "Finest Hour!" Thank you for your Quality of Service.

Best jacket I have ever owned.
By Eric
from Chino Hills CA USA
on Monday, March 14, 2011
Pros: Quality material and workmanship
Cons: Poor sizing information
Review:
I was looking for a jacket that fit me like a flight jacket should. Not baggy or hanging on me like a bad date. I read all the reviews and at the end I was more confused than ever. I decided to email Mypilotstore for their opinion since they must get these kind of questions all the time. I told them I was 6' 4" with arms like an orangutan. I gave them my waist size of 38 and my jacket size of 46. They emailed me back and told me I should go with XL or if I like wearing my jackets a little loose then a 2XL. So I ordered a XL and waited for it to arrive. All the time I was worried my UPS drive would make off with my jacket.
It arrived quickly and I carefully open the box not wanting to scar it with my knife. It laid there beautifully wrapped in a clear plastic cover gently folded over once. The leather was shiny and had a new smell to it. I buried my nose into it and inhaled it's scent while all the time screaming like a kid who just got lucky on prom night. Then I reached into the box and immediately went to try it on. Arrrggg! Did they think I was covering the Good Year blimp with my jacket? The arm length was fine but clearly this jacket would have fit the most studliest Sumo wrestler.
I called Mypilotstore and got a RA number to return the jacket for a smaller size. That was hassle free and they sent out a L right away. The large fits perfect and I can't wait to walk down Hollywood Blvd on a Friday night wearing this jacket. One thing though, this is LA and I am not stupid enough to wear a fine jacket like this on the streets of LA at night!

This gift exceeded by husband's expectations
By Patricia
from Plymouth MI USA
on Thursday, December 15, 2011
Review:
After researching this product online, I chose this website to order a replacement for my husbands 10 year old Avrix A-2 jacket. The leather on the old jacket was still in great condition, but the lining was shredded.
From the initial phone call to place this new order with mypilotstore.com, to the expedient shipment, and excellent condition of the leather, I was thrilled. The order taker was efficient and friendly, and even price matched the jacket from another website.
I echo all the other comments from satisfied customers. The internet really is excellent in letting future customers see the reviews from other purchasers.
I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing from this website. You will not be disappointed.

I wanted only the best for my husband's Christmas gift. He has wanted this style of jacket for many years, so I searched various sites and read many customer reviews before making my selection. The jacket arrived in just a couple of days. I had him try it on to avoid an after Christmas return. The jacket is true to sized based on the sites specifications. No need to order a larger size to get a good fit. Well worth the price!

Cons: Lining wore out quickly
Review:
Excellent Customer Service. I have owned a Cockpit USA Antique Lambskin A-2 Jacket for less than two years and the lining was frayed and worn out around the neck and armpits. I was referred to the manufacturer Cockpit USA and was asked to return the jacket for inspection. They promptly replaced the lining and returned the jacket to me at no charge. I really like the jacket and appreciate the outstanding customer service.

By Bengt

Review:
It fits perfectly. What am I going to do with my old leather jackets now? Well they have had their day. The color of my new jacket is also wonderful. The entire apartment gets a pleasant smell of the jacket. The only thing I can say is that this is my best purchase ever. Sure the leather jacket cost a lot but what does it matter when you've got such a fine jacket.

High Quality
By Joeflyer
from Memphis,Tn
on Tuesday, September 05, 2017
Pros: Appearance, quality, warmth, durability
Cons: None
Review:
After having owned one of these jackets for 15+ years, the lining is now tattered and torn. The jacket has been through many years of weather abuse during my aviation career. I was hoping to replace it with a new A2 jacket and was so happy to see mypilotstore have it in stock. I didn't hesitate to order a new one. After several days, MPS finally sent me notification the order had been processed. I received the beautiful new jacket a couple of days later. No physical defects were found on the jacket. The lining is absolutely stunning, and I know this jacket will keep me nice and warm for many years to come. You can hardly beat the quality and durability of this fine leather jacket. It is an investment you will never regret!

Pros: the highest quality leather jacket ever made

Review:
This is my second antique lambskin A-2 leather jacket; the first was purchased directly from the Cockpit store in NYC. When my new jacket arrrived it was wrapped in a single plastic bag and a cardboard shipping box. The UPS driver left in on my front step in a rain storm. When I opened the soggy box, water had leaked into the plastic bag, wetting the leather jacket. I hung the jacket to dry overnight and decided to keep it, as they tend to become distressed with time anyway. This is an excellent jacket, but I would recommend better packaging for shippment.

This jacket is exactly as described. It is for my husband and he loves the full cut which makes the jacket extremely comfortable. The leather and lining are just beautiful and he's already received many compliments. This was a worthwhile purchase.

Everything I wanted and more! Great fit, warm, soft & beautiful leather finish. I love to show guys the beautiful inside with the eagle, the news article and the certificates of authenticity. I'm 70 yrs. old & it makes me feel young again! SO GLAD I didn't buy one of the other 10 different jackets I looked at, some for many more $$.

older than dirt
By Mark
from Greendale, WI
on Saturday, January 29, 2011
Pros: thick, rich lamb skin- looks great with a Burberry scarf.
Cons: none
Review:
I bought this jacket in 1998! As it has gotten broken in, it has taken on that wonderful look of a jacket that is obviously well worn, but looks even better than it did when it was new. I love it more now than ever and will, in all likelihood, like it a little more when I get it out for winter next year.

The Cockpit Lambskin A-2 exceeded my expectations. Superior craftsmanship in a heavy leather jacket. The jacket arrived exactly when MyPilotStore said it would which only took 3 business days. Perfect fit thanks to salesman's advice. My wife thinks the jacket is very sexy.

Too large, but fits the dream!
By Peter Steinberg
from New York NY USA
on Saturday, November 28, 2009
Pros: Great feel-good look!
Cons: Too large across the midsection.
Review:
A review? Yeah, I'll write a review. It's a great look and a good feel. They said it would be roomy, but there's more space inside than my apartment. I stand a little over six feet, weigh about 192 pounds with a 36 inch waist. I wear a 46 sport coat so I bought the extra large as recommended, and while snug across my shoulders, there's a lot of space inside. I can wear a heavy cable knit, Irish sweater and a leather sport coat underneath without stretching the jacket. Okay, I admit it, when I added woolen long underwear it started to look like it fit. But I'm giving it five stars, because My Pilot is selling more than a jacket, they're selling a dream. For those of us who are still fighting the second World War, or wish we could have, this boosts the image like no other jacket could. I have to go now. My plane was shot down a few days ago, and I was the only one who got out. It's been raining here, and I'm trying to get home. Right now I'm crawling through the mud in some farmer's freshly furrowed field. Intelligence said there's a Nazi tank unit somewhere in the vicinity. So I've got to be careful. If God is with me, I'll make it back.

Fantastic Jacket
By Dick M.
from Terrace Park, OH
on Wednesday, January 05, 2011
Pros: quality of supple leather, fit aroung shoulders and length
Cons: none
Review:
Just received my Christmas present to myself-the A-2 jacket. Found your website by "surfing" for leather bomber jackets. It is a perfect fit, soft leather, just the right length and, for once, the right length sleeves. I am 6'1", 190" and hard to fit with size 44 coat but nothing between my shoulder blades. That, together with a 37" waist and 31" pant leg means everything I buy has to be altered. Not this guy-it's fantastic & "large" is right on. Thanks for a wonderful garment lined with nostalgia. WOW!!

This jacket is a prized possession and worn every day
By Cindy
from West Richland WA USA
on Tuesday, January 11, 2011
Pros: Size and quality of leather
Cons: The finish is a bit too shiny, but I hope will fade over time.
Review:
I purchased this jacket for my tall husband for Christmas, hoping it would be long enough in the sleeves, and it was! He is 6'-4" with a 37" sleeve length. He wears it every day, even in winter. I am impressed with the construction, but especially with the way the inside of the jacket has historic text and a picture of a pretty girl (which he of course discovered right away). Thanks for offering such a nice jacket. He looks great in it and I finally feel like I was able to give him a gift he really has enjoyed wearing.

The antiqued finish is very attractive and will only get better with age. The leather was soft, the inside artwork and history only added to the beauty of this jacket.

Excellent Purchase!!
By Benjamin C.

Pros: Love the looks and feel of this jacket. Fits great although it runs BIG!!
Cons: None.
Review:
The reviews are right!! This jacket does run one size larger than your regular size jacket. Glad I heeded to the reviews!! Excellent fit and the leather is buttery soft yet tough!! The inner details of this jacket are exceptional, giving the wearer a piece of the WWII history. You can match it with khakis for a formal look or pair it up with jeans for a casual look. This Cockpit Antique Lambskin A-2 Leather jacket will keep you warm and toasty for years to come!! Reason for four stars instead of five stars? This jacket is a tad heavier than my previous A-2 leather jackets. Not a quality issue!!

This is the best jacket I've ever bought
By Cpt. Bob
from Curtis Bay MD USA
on Monday, March 15, 2010
Pros: Fits great, looks great, and well made to last a very long time!
Cons: Consider changing hanging loop to a straight hanging strap.
Review:
This jacket is well constructed and fits very comfortably. The sizing information was "right on" for my size. It looks great, and I've had complements every time I've gone out in it. It is truely a jacket for all seasons. I've worn it in cold weather and fairly mild weather, and it has been comfortable in each case. The one suggestion I have is to remove the curled hanging loop from the neck and replace it with a straight leather strap like the one on the cotton A-2 jacket. The loop rubs the back of my neck and is somewhat bothersome. Otherwise, I'd consider it perfect!!

Coat was awesome
By Tom
from Winfield MO USA
on Monday, May 16, 2011
Pros: Beautiful Lamb skin dark brown color and fine quality.
Cons: A little pricy but I always say you get what you pay for.
Review:
I was a little nervous buying this coat sight unseen with a cost of a little over $400 but it surpassed my expectations. It was beautiful. I took it from the box and it blew me away how nice it was. I read some of the reviews before I bought this item and some of the negatives people wrote I found none of this to be true. I cannot say how the coat will wear as the years go by but judging by the looks and quality I can't help but think it will outlast me. Glad I ordered a larger size. I'm 6'3" and weigh 250 with long arms and the 2XL Tall fit great. So far I couldn't be happier.

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.

This A-2 is Outstanding
By Sky Pilot
from Oceanside, CA
on Friday, November 19, 2010
Pros: Soft lambskin leather, stitching, pockets both inside and out, lining and authenticity are all outstanding.
Cons: none
Review:
I never write reviews, so this jacket must be GOOD for me to take the time. I really, really like this jacket. Hours of research, both on line and calls to stores and factories, pointed me here and I'm glad I chose it. Very comfortable, very warm, and an excellent fit. I'm 5'11 and 230. The sizing chart was pointing me to an XL. I called the folks at MyPilot and they talked me down to a Large. A perfict fit. Glad I didn't go with the XL. My price from MyPilot was $85 less than the manufacture's retail outlet store in NY. This jacket is well worth the money.

All That's Advertised!
By ERICK
from SPRINGFIELD VA USA
on Wednesday, April 13, 2011
Pros: Very roomy, very warm, outstanding leather and overall quality.
Cons: Sleeves are a bit long (see review).
Review:
Jacket is truly superior quality. I've been looking for YEARS to find a replacement of one I had years back and this is it. Lambskin leather is of top quality - soft/durable. Lining pleasantly warmer than I had expected. Jacket is VERY roomy; don't think you need to "size-up" to fit layers underneath. Only potential negative is that for a large, I was surprised at the sleeve length - I wear a 17x34 dress shirt and the sleeves are a bit long for me - but not unreasonably so. Although I appreciate the flags/military Service logos on the inside the nose art seemed a bit over the top for me but a whimsical/nostalgic blast from the past.

Quality says "Made in the USA" all over it at first glance.
By Charles
from Duxbury MA USA
on Thursday, April 14, 2011
Review:
I couldn't believe the fit was as perfect as it could possibly be. Just feeling the weight taking it out of the box told me my search of two years for this jacket was well worth the wait. Good thing I lift weights because the quality of the zipper requires a little muscle unlike the cheap hardware on what "we think" are good quality jackets. The lining alone draws interest and comments. I find myself draping it over a chair sometimes and just staring at it. This jacket is nothing but CLASS from every angle. It's a reminder of the quality in clothing this country once took pride in. The only thing I'm disappointed in is that I got it too late in the year because I want to wear it every day and the weather is getting warmer. It's the nicest piece of clothing I've ever purchased for myself in a long, long time.

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 do recommend calling the company to get size advice as I would have ordered the wrong size if I based it on my husband's shirt measurements of 16 neck/32-33 sleeve length.

I just didn't know what to get my husband this past holiday season. He couldn't think of anything to put on his wish list, so I had to think of something that I know he would NOT put on a wish list. He loves old airplanes and has several games where flight is simulated. He is an avid reader of WWII, so I thought just maybe a jacket such as this would be appreciated. I'm so glad I listened to advice that I get a larger size than normally, because the fit is just perfect. His eyes lit up when he opened the package. He loves everything about this jacket, including the unique lining. It's warmer than it looks, by the way.

I have been wearing this jacket for about 2 months(Nov. & Dec.) & I'm very pleased w/the quality. I live in north central IL & winters are typically cold. The jacket breaks the wind very well & with a fleece vest under it it keeps me fairly warm.
I was right between a large and a medium size so I decided to go w/the large size so I could put a vest under it. It's plenty big enough for me. If I need to I can switch from fleece to a down vest.

Best quality.
By TYRONE
from MURRIETA CA USA
on Monday, November 21, 2011
Review:
In my 50 years of owning leather jackets, This one has the best quality than most that I have seen, especially for the reasonable price. The leather is finished smooth and shiney the way that I like it. Since the leather is real and thick, the jacket is quite heavy. Great for cold weather with sporty style. Thanks for the lifetime quality. This will be an item to inherit to my son.

Absolutely fantastic.
By Shawn
from Seattle, WA, USA
on Tuesday, November 29, 2011
Pros: Looks,
Cons: -
Review:
Every pilot should buy this jacket. It's a bit on the pricey side but absolutely worth it. After reading the reviews I was worried it might be too hot once its zipped up but its not that bad at all. Well at least here in the pacific northwest (50-60s). The leather takes a few days of wearing to soften up but till then it may be a bit stiff and uncomfortable. Can't beat the looks and its obvious you are making a point when you wear this into Starbucks on your way to the airport.

Great Quality Jacket
By Ken
from Genesee MI USA
on Monday, May 23, 2011
Pros: The quality of the leather and detailed construction
Cons: The collar and pocket cover are smooth leather rather than the antique lambskin look
Review:
The Cockpit A-2 Jacket is the best quality that I had seen. I have been looking at other major competitor's Bomber Jackets but this one is the best. I love the construction especially the sturdy zipper. The heavy duty zipper is indestructible. The only problem that I see is a different type of leather used in the collar and pocket cover might consider to be a distraction. Overall I love the jacket's construction and fit.

Excellent jacket, Great customer service
By Gary
from Elma WA USA
on Friday, March 17, 2017
Pros: WELL MADE garment, very comfortable, great looking.
Cons: None
Review:
This is an exceptionally well made garment. The materials and workmanship are top notch, resulting in a jacket that will last a lifetime. The fit is perfect. I ordered a Small Long- which often is more "small" than "long", but the length on this is a full two 2 inches longer, and the arms are longer too- just what I wanted. The pockets are spacious. I appreciate the side-slit hand pockets that are integrated behind the front patch pockets. The two inside breast pockets hold everything I need (phone, pens, papers, other odds & ends). The elastic knit waist and arm hems are wide enough to be effective, but don't pinch or bind, so movement is not restricted. The customer service is outstanding. I originally ordered a medium long, but ended up returning it for a small. The folks at MyPilot didn't have one in stock so they contacted the manufacturer, who shipped it directly to me. Overall I couldn't be happier.

Pros: USA Made, Unique historical features in the lining
Cons: Too much jacket for his duty station (Hawaii)!
Review:
What a perfect gift for our sailor and aviation enthusiast! I've been looking for the "right" leather jacket for him for several years. What a blessing to find such a beautiful MADE IN USA product that celebrates service to our nation. It cost nearly as much as his first car - but I believe it made him just about as happy.

It is even more than I expected. It was B/O for a month, but worth the wait. I had one in High School and wore it out. This one doesn't look like, or feel like I will ever wear it out. It is made out of great leather. The lining is striking. Pockets just where I like them. I still have a small problem with the zipper, but that will fix itself with use.

This jacket is great in every way. I ordered it for my boyfriend for Christmas and originally got a medium... it seemed to run big though, and rather than chance it (there's a 30 day return policy and I'd ordered it in October), I returned it and got a small. Thank God, because the small was perfect. It's a beautiful, high quality jacket. Just keep in mind they tend to run larger in size.

I really like the jacket. I fits good and is very warm on these cold winter nights. It looks great both inside and out. As a matter of fact the lining is beautiful.
The only negative thing is the new leather is stiff and it will take a little time to break it in so it really comfortable.
Overall, I love it and I live long enought to wear it out I'll get another.

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.

Great Leather A-2 Jacket made in USA

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!!!

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!

Top quality jacket for a top gun pilot

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.

Perfect Christmas Present for My 88 Year Old Dad
By Ed
from Los Angeles, CA
on Friday, February 05, 2010
Pros: Great fit - authentic - accurately sized - looks great - feels great
Cons: None whatsoever
Review:
Really --- it was perfect for a myriad of reasons. Mom and Dad were married in 1943. Dad was in the Army Air Corp. Listening to his stories as a boy growing up were memorable including a B-24 crash he survived in Boise, Idaho. He is very patriotic and member of numerous related organizations. Since he is 6'2" I was afraid he would need a "Tall" which would have required back order. But the sales representative assured me that the Regular would work fine. And it did as the jacket is a totally perfect fit. The only problem was what to get Mom for an equivalent Christmas present for 2009. I decided to buy her a nice quilt and matching pillows and the like. It was the best thing I could think of for an extra special present. But nothing compares with the pride I felt to help Dad try that jacket on in Anderson, South Carolina, when I arrived from Los Angeles to celebrate Christmas at home on 12/26/2009. Extraordinary thanks is required and given to everyone involved at mypilotstore.com

I have been an aviator for more that 52 years and this is the best flight jacket I have ever owned. My grandson (USAF C-130 pilot) was home Christmas and said the jacket is far superior to the USAF A-2 jacket he was issued.

More than I was looking for!
By Dianne

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.

Wonderful A-2 Jacket
By Jim
from Spokane WA USA
on Friday, January 22, 2010
Pros: Soft leather, inner lining detail, well made
Cons: Pricey, but you get what you pay for
Review:
This jacket is well made and cut with a little extra room. It is handsome both inside and out. It is a little darker in real life than that picture but I think it will wear well and look even better as time goes by. I am very happy with it.

Pros: Everything about this jacket is a "pro." The materials, the construction, the fit, the feel, the attention to detail.
Cons: None.
Review:
This jacket is everything I hoped it would be. The leather is gorgeous, the stitching is perfect, and the fit is very comfortable. Personally, I like the lining, and think it adds to the appeal of this jacket. It's nice to see that there is still something of the very highest quality made in the USA. I cannot imagine a nicer A-2 jacket.

I absolutely love this jacket and will probably buy a second one for myself
By Peter
from Lake Forest IL USA
on Friday, December 04, 2009
Pros: Everything
Cons: None
Review:
I've already reviewed this product, but since the MyPilot Store asked me (last time I did it on my own), I'll rave about the jacket again. The jacket looks simply fabulous on me (that may have as much to do with my looks as the jacket - kidding), it's beautifully made, stylish, timeless, comfortable and georgous to behold even on the hanger in the closet. And I simply love the look and feel of the lining. This is the best leather jacket I've ever purchased. The sales rep I spoke with on the phone when I placed the order helped me determing which size to order. Evidently he and I are roughly the same size, so his recommendation of XL for my 6' 220 pound frame was spot on. Thanks again. The jacket is quite roomy - exactly the way I like it.

Review:
Basically, the jacket meets my expectations. The quality is top grade. I like the 2 inside pockets (as opposed to the normal 1). I like the snaps on the collar. The color is very nice. I just wish the small was smaller or that you offered an extra small. I am 5'5", 120 lbs. and would have preferred it a little smaller all around.

Great Jacket
By A Customer
from Alexandria,KY
on Thursday, April 19, 2007
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.

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 piece of American History!
By Buddy WIlliams
from Shreveport LA USA
on Thursday, February 19, 2009
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)

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.

Very Good Quality Leather
By Victor

Pros: It's worth the price
Cons:
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

I bought this jacket for my son. I never looked at the jacket until my son opened the box on Christmas day. It was absolutely beautiful. It is everything I had hoped it would be. The lining is gorgeous. It is something that he will have forever. Aside from the product, the company was very helpful in making sure the jacket was received on time. I sent them emails, and was surprised that I was answered back quickly. I will definitely recommend your company to everyone.

I have been looking for one of these jackets for a long time. Kept putting off the purchase for one reason or another but then this popped up and met all the criteria I had for a new jacket. The leather is super soft, heavy but very nice. The workmanship is top-notch, and it fits well. I ordered this on Friday with free shipping and it was at my door Monday afternoon. Can't beat that. I am extremely pleased. This is just the ticket for winter days and riding my motorcycle. Excellent product!!!!!

I got to wear this all through winter and into a chilly Spring. I slept in it a few times and manhandled it, to help expedite the "break in" period. It is showing some areas of wear which I wanted, but the elastic, zipper, buttons, etc., are all functioning superbly. I expect to have this beautiful vintage feeling jacket for many years.

AN INCREDIBLY GREAT JACKET - MUST BE LIKE THE ORIGINALS
By Neal
from Hayesville NC/ Augusta, GA USA
on Wednesday, April 28, 2021
Pros: The quality of the workmanship and materials used
Cons: I have yet to identify any
Review:
It is hard to find things that truly and adequately replicate their “original” models. This coat surely must! I have a number of leather jackets but this is clearly among the best, though it is not priced nearly so steep as others I own. This coat must be made from some of the finest leathers and accessory materials available. It looks and feels outstanding! I do not think that I have written 3 or 4 “reviews” over the course of my lifetime, but this coat demanded that I return the favor of the quality of its workmanship. This is a great coat. Well worth the investment. I call it an investment as it is hard to imagine that it will not last for quite some time.

I've been wanting to order this for three holiday seasons and I finally did and I couldn't be happier with the quality of this A-2 flight jacket!
It took a few weeks for the temp to drop enough to wear it here in California, but each time I did I would get all kinds of compliments on how beautiful it looked!
Leather is stiff at first but becomes softer with each use. Great quality inside and out!
