Absolutely Superb - The Real A-2 Jacket! Review by Vinny

Quality
Value

An authentic, gorgeous jacket with mesmerizing quality & craftsmanship.

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

Quality
Value

I bought this jacket through ACE Jackets, which happened to be cheaper than Cockpit USA (direct) because it was on sale. This A2 is excellent in many ways. The level of craftsmanship is very high. The Russet Brown colour is truly WWII, which is hard to get these days, as most modern A2's are made in Dark Brown, or Seal Brown as they call it. Just after I placed the order I asked Cockpit USA about the leather, and I was informed by Jacky Clyman that the FULL GRAIN Horsehide was used for this jacket. I think this is a very important piece of information which is not mentioned anywhere in the website or labelling. For the price we pay it's really good value for money. I love this jacket, it fits me very well. I am 174cm and 76kg, and I picked size 44R. I have seven A2's jacket, and this one is on the top of the list.

Fit Review by Richard

Quality is the best it does fit tighter than the 100 mission jacket bought previously. It has a differant cut and not as roomy. That being said I have wide shoulders for my size & riding my Harley it rides up a bit. Other than riding it fits quite well. (Posted on 3/10/2017)

Beautiful Jacket Review by Jen Sorensen

I bought one of these for my husband, a pilot, 18 years ago when you made them under the Avirex label. Identical horsehide jacket with the same liner, made in the USA. I just finished conditioning the leather. It's still beautiful and he gets just as many compliments today as when I bought it for him. (Posted on 1/29/2017)

Great Purchase Review by Robert

I purchased a WWII Government Issue A-2 jacket recently and am very happy with my purchase. They were very helpful with getting just the right size. The quality of the jacket is top notch. I made this purchase to recreate my father's jacket that he wore in WWII as a navigator on a B -17. This is to remember him and all the young men who servered in WWII, but mainly the 8th Army Air Force. (Posted on 2/4/2016)
