Our US Wings Army Cowhide A2 jacket is now shipping out to our customers .  For the first time since WWII, the A-2 jacket is returning to the US Army as an officially issued jacket.  US Wings is proud to be an official supplier  to both the US Army and the general public!  Although the A-2 was primarily associated with the Army Air Force during WWII, it was also worn by non-aviation personnel.  This  includes officers serving in Airborne units & top brass like Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

Despite the popularity of the A-2, production was canceled in 1943 in favor of cloth-shelled flight jackets. The USAF re-issued the A-2 to its pilots & aircrews back in the late 1980s.  Most noteworthy, this will be the first time in more than 70 years that the A-2 will be returning to the US Army. The jacket is based primarily on the current-issue USAF goatskin version, but made from the finest mil-spec cowhide.

USA-made CWU-45P and MA-1 Jackets

By Leave a Comment

We’re proud to offer genuine USA-made CWU-45P and MA-1 jackets made by an actual US government contractor! These iconic lightweight nylon flight jackets have protected US Military aviators from the cold, wind & rain for decades. They are now an established staple of civilian fashion. The materials and workmanship are of the highest quality certainly what you’d expect from a true supplier to the US Military.
 Originally adopted by the USAF in 1950, the MA-1 is arguably the most popular flight jacket since the WWII A-2. This workhorse of a flight jacket was made for use in cold weather climates (20 degrees F and above). It features the famous reversible high-visibility Indian Orange lining (designed for use in emergency situations) as well as a knit collar, and the signature zippered utility/pen pocket on the left sleeve. Our USA-made MA-1 is made from a water-repellant Military-grade flight satin nylon. Furthermore it is available in sage green, black or replica blue. Made in the USA.

The CWU was first introduced in the early 1970s and eventually replaced the venerable MA-1. The CWU is still in active duty with the USAF, USN & the USCG.  Its two most iconic features are the two huge front cargo pockets and the rounded collar.  Our USA-made CWU-45P is made from Military-grade flight satin nylon. Available in sage green or black. Made in the USA.
USA-made CWU-45P and MA-1 jackets are now availble from US Wings.

Top Gun “Maverick” USA-made CWU version is now also available.
Check out our Nylon Jacket Collection  to see our full line of MA-1 and CWU jackets.

Sgt. Hack and the P Coat

By Leave a Comment

You might ask what does Sgt. Hack and the P Coat have in common?  Many of you know of SFC David D. Hack US Army (R).  But did you know that he served in the United States Coast Guard for four years.  He served  in the Pacific on Wake Island, in the Atlantic at Cape May and on the Mississipi River at St Louis and the Ohio River at Owensboro Kentucky. Even though he is Army #1 he is still a Coastie down deep inside.

The origins of the peacoat can be traced back hundreds of years, but the basic design of this popular coat has remained unchanged for generations.   It’s long enough to cover the backside and short enough for sailors to easily move about.   It has all the warmth, functionality, and style anyone could ask for in a piece of outerwear.
The classic double-breasted style of the peacoat is both timeless and versatile, easily adapting from casual to semi-dressy wear.  Furthemore it will last for decades if properly taken care of.   Couple it with our Silk Aviator Scarf for extra warmth and an added bit of panache!
Search No More: Many retailers offer inferior knock-offs of this classic US Navy garment, but we offer a great selection of the most authentic USA-made peacoats in men’s (regulars & longs), women’s, and kid’s sizes for your entire family.
These peacoats are the closest you can get to the US Navy-issued version, so check ’em out in our Peacoat Collection .
If you see him in the winter, chances are you will see Sgt. Hack and the P Coat.
