    Anticipating A2 from US Authentic

    I thought I read in one of Roger Freeman's book's that the fighter pilots in the 8th who attained a Ace status, were changing the A-2 linings to red. Like a club thing. Randy

    FS Flight Suits Historical A-2 or US Authenic A-2?

    In looking at both from the price side the FS jacket only turns out to be $32 more than the US A jacket. I'm guessing that the FS jacket is similar to a Cooper in fit being a more generous cut. I had a Cooper horsehide and I started showing my age as we say in the belly region and my wife took a...

    The best leather nametag??

    I've have a I got from US Authenic that matches the color pretty close I think. I got another A-2 and decided to get a nametag from Garcia aviation and wasn't happy with it, almost a cream color. I tried the tea and coffee soaking but still didn't improve it much so i purchased another from US...

    Well it started with a wolf on the side of my calf, then 2 years went by and I decide it was time for another. So another wolf on the side of my other calf then last year it snowballed. I now have a total 12. I have a cool B-17 on my forearm and other the side it I have a 40's pinup. So I decide...

    US Authentic A-2 Jacket Review!

    I bought my US Authenic in December about 2 week before this past Christmas. I got the goatskin, my first goat. I love it. Overall fit was much better than the Cooper I have. The sleeves are more true to the originals, not blousy like the Coopers. I would like to get one of their horsehides in a...
