USAF/Army A-2 Flight Jacket — The Jacket That Started It All

Goatskin leather, blood chit sewn in, your name embroidered inside — this is the real deal.

The A-2 flight jacket is the original military aviator’s jacket, tracing its lineage back to the Army Air Corps of the 1930s and worn by every generation of American military pilots since. These Mike’s Arcade Korean-made A-2 jackets are widely regarded as superior to standard issue, featuring premium goatskin leather, a real YKK zipper, fur-lined interior pockets, pen pockets, blood chit sewn inside the back panel, and your name embroidered in script on the interior. The A-2 isn’t just outerwear — it’s a wearable career record. Velcro patches on the chest let you mount your leather name tag and squadron patch, turning the jacket into a personalized piece of aviation heritage. From WWII bomber crews over Europe to modern-day test pilots at Edwards, the A-2 has been the standard for aviators who fly for the Air Force and Army. Order it with your patches, and they’ll sew them on free of charge.

Perfect For: USAF and Army aviators, helicopter and fixed-wing pilots, flight school graduates, test pilots, squadron gift or retirement present, and anyone who believes the A-2 is the greatest piece of military leather ever made.
