    Looking for an A-2 (Help)

    I for some reason always thought Cooper was sold to Avirex (Cockpit USA). Just a quick question in regards to Cooper and US Wings, I have a jacket that is tagged as a US Wings with the Coopers Sportswear tag right underneath (this is the Flying Tigers Commemorative one). I was wondering when...

    Proper G-1 Jacket Fit?

    Just out of curiosity, how warm is the G1 jacket that you have? I'm asking because it seems that everyone in those pictures is in shorts.

    Proper G-1 Jacket Fit?

    The fit looks really good but it depends on the type of fit you are going for. The modern jackets tend to fit a lot looser than the older and original styles. This is especially since they aren't really being worn in the cockpit. The ww2 style of jackets were actually a mixed bag in regards to...

    Looking for an A-2 (Help)

    Just out of curiosity, do the jackets of Japanese brands tend to be of a different cut than those of say, an American or Western brand since the body types tend to be different?

    Looking for an A-2 (Help)

    Thanks for the insight. I myself was contemplating a US Authentic, but its good to know that their sizing is a little different. My 38r from Cooper/US Wings fits ok but is a lot more like the modern and more oversized cut.

    Thanks for the advice. What are your thoughts on the quality between the three brands in general?

    Looking for an A-2 (Help)

    In regards to searching the Japanese internet, do you know of any websites or shopping sites that I could use? Thus far I've only really found Rakuten and a few others but nothing that has used stuff.

    Looking for an A-2 (Help)

    Thanks for your help. Yeah, I completely agree with that. Right now I'm about 5'8 140 and relatively skinny so my current A2 kind of makes me look like the Michelin Man.

    Can this zipper be fixed?

    It certainly wouldn't hurt to check the place out, but if you're not entirely sure then I'd stay on the safe side and maybe get a professional to take a look at it. Especially considering the cost of the jacket.

    Can this zipper be fixed?

    US Wings also has a repair service that accepts jackets of all manufacturers.

    Can this zipper be fixed?

    I'm not too experienced as far as repairs go but I do have some ideas in regards to getting it fixed. The first suggestion I have would be flightjacket.com. They do custom work and repairs. That said, their 'market' tends to be more geared towards flight jackets but I'd suggest shooting them an...

    Looking for an A-2 (Help)

    Thanks for your help. My preference for buying another jacket is used, because as you said, it adds character. Plus I may end up outgrowing it so I'd rather not get something new. But thanks for pointing me in that direction.

    Looking for an A-2 (Help)

    Hello all, I'm somewhat new to the whole leather jacket and flight jacket world and subsequently need some help. I currently own a Cooper/US Wings Flying Tigers commemorative jacket in Seal Brown. What I'm looking for is a lighter shade, not necessarily a Russet but more of a ww2 coloration in...
