According to Neil, they will be back in business soon, although he wouldn't say when or why they were down. Unfortunately the website is down as well as email and phones, including the direct lines I had.

That page is likely *old* info - the copyright date is 2005.

BTW, Neil Cooper USA's web site (http://www.neilcooperusa.com/) is now gone. I seriously doubt that they're coming back.

Of course, I have this pet theory that the Elizabeth, NJ factory of US Wings is actually the former Cooper factory, and is now the supplier for several different house brands (e.g., Legendary USA's) of consumer-grade leather flight jackets: all those V-shaped A-2 pocket flaps just look *too* similar...

Yeah, I found a lot of sites that list them as out of stock. I sent an email to Gift of Wings, so I guess we'll find out soon! If they are out of date, I'll get a US wings G-1, or one cooper I found at a local shop. Thanks for your reply!

Gift of Wings

Okay, I called Gift of Wings, the fella said that Cooper has stopped making jackets, but swear they will be back up soon. He did say they had a few left in stock, so anyone that wants one at the old price should email him about availability.

Cooper coming back?

The last time I talked to Neil Cooper he said they would be back in business, but that was awhile ago. I have heard nothing since, and all lines of communication are gone, even the direct lines I had. Too bad, as they made a decent jacket for the money.
