Cockpit USA is proud to offer a limited edition of an original variant of the A-2 Army Air Force pilot’s jacket. The A-2 Flight Jacket was introduced as official uniform wear in 1931 and permitted to be made of goatskin, even though the original specifications called for horsehide with goatskin as an alternative. Our made in USA Mustang A-2 Jacket © is a revised version of the iconic A-2 Flight Jacket. Designed to look timeless with its supple vegetable tanned goatskin leather and featuring the earlier collar stand designed for added authenticity; the Mustang A-2 Jacket © is the perfect accessory for the man who honors the history of iconic American fashion. Please note that each Mustang A-2 Flight Jacket is unique and its distress vegetable tanning may vary from production to production. Not sure which size to get?

Best of all was the customer service. Prompt email responses, even at non-business hours. (Posted on 1/26/2019) - Worth every penny. Review by RedEd

Not the warmest of jackets, making it perfect for most of the year where I live. I also have a Mod Radiers jacket, the Mustang in comparison is lighter, a little shorter in the length (an inch or so) but same sleeve length.
This jacket came out of the box genuinely looking like I'd been wearing it for years. (Posted on 9/17/2018) - The best jacket on the market, hands down! Review by Brett

I also cannot say enough about the customer service of Cockpit USA. They went so far as to go into the warehouse and take pictures of the jacket in different lighting for me so I could verify it was the exact color and style I wanted. When it came in a little darker they contacted me immediately and responded to all of my emails very promptly to offer any fix I would need, including shipping the jacket back! I will be choosing them in the future for several more items I have seen on their website that I want! Impeccable service! (Posted on 8/14/2018) - Was not disappointed Review by Kevin

I was really surprised how warm it is too. We are experiencing wicked cold temp in Massachusetts (-3° and -15° with wind chill) and wore it last night to dinner with only a flannel shirt under it and did not feel chilled at all. It definitely shuts out the wind.
Cannot say enough about the high quality of the stitching, zipper, and the weight of the jacket. I am a nut about zippers and hate it when they do not align right--this one is heavy and is very smooth. The leather is smooth and flexes with my every move right out of the box. I really appreciate the deep double breasted inside pockets as well.
Some have noted that the price is a bit steep, but I would argue that you get what you pay for. Made in the USA means a lot to me and there is so much inferior clothing products being imported from other countries that I found the price to be very competitive when you consider the quality of the items. This jacket will last decades--you cannot say that about many other products...

FIT:
I’m 5’11”, 190 lbs., 44” chest, 34” waist, 34” sleeve length, broad shoulders, athletic build. The Mustang in size XL fits me extremely well. Snug at the waist, sufficient movement in the shoulder area, enough space to wear a sweater under the jacket, but fairly trim fit, not bag like at all. It’s worth noting that the fit is different than the fit of a number of other Cockpit USA A-2 jackets.
MATERIALS:
The Mustang’s fatigued goatskin is lightweight, tough, breathes well, and is nicely broken-in. The silk-like lining appears much tougher than the lining on most A-2 jackets from other manufacturers. The cuffs and waistband are tightly woven and rugged.
FEATURES:
There are two interior pockets that are deep enough and wide enough for a large wallet or iPhone 8 plus. The majority of A-2 jackets seem to only have one interior pocket. Like most original A-2s, there’s a metal hook at the throat area. Side pockets are cloth-lined at the front, leather in the back.
All in all, the Mustang is better looking, better-built and offers better fit (for me at least) than any other A-2. Jacky and Stanley at Cockpit USA are wonderful. I appreciate that this jacket is made in the U.S. and yet isn’t much more expensive than all the A-2’s on the market made in Turkey or elsewhere. I could not be more satisfied with this purchase.
