I also yearned to own an A2 as worn by Steve McQueen in the Great Escape or Gregory Peck in 12 O’clock High. And I wanted mine in black, just like theirs.
I rolled the dice and emailed Cockpit USA with my measurements. With lightening speed, Shanice gave me the best sizes for three of my favorite jackets based on the info I gave her. I pulled the trigger on the A2.
The jacket arrived 1 week later. I was afraid to open the box in case there was a problem. But when I opened the box and saw the beautiful A2 in there, I broke out into the widest grin. And then the moment of truth: trying it on.
It fit perfectly. It looked fantastic on me. I couldn’t believe it. Thank you so much for delivering on a great product with wonderful service! (Posted on 12/2/2019) - Review of item I've purchased Review by Brant

(And I have about 40) this is my second A2.
I have found it to be the most authentic
as well. I don’t like nylon linings, as I like wearing short sleeve shirts, this one is cotton russet. Usually when ordering a jacket it will say cotton lining and when I receive it there is nylon in the sleeves where it touches your skin.
Not this one it is cotton throughout and Cockpits description is spot on. Thanks Cockpit. Exactly as pictured, exactly as described, please keep doing this. (Posted on 10/22/2019) - Absolutely Superb - The Real A-2 Jacket! Review by Vinny

This amazing full grain horsehide A-2 simply gets all the more so beautifully stunning with every day of wear, showing it's wonderful creases, folds, leather graining & under-color, giving it that famous "worn" appearance we all love about original A-2s.
I am 5ft10" (177.8cm) & 150lbs (68kg) and a size 38R fits me perfectly! A huge thank you to Jacky Clyman who assisted me in the sizing process, the service from Cockpit USA is just as remarkable as their unmatched quality.
If you are looking for a true aviator's jacket that will last a lifetime - look no further. (Posted on 12/5/2018) - FULL GRAIN AMERICAN HORSEHIDE Review by John
