The blouson that carried history into the skies.

This is not just another leather jacket—it’s a meticulous recreation of the legendary A-2 flight jacket worn by WWII aviators who flew into battle over 50 missions. The 50 Mission WWII Sheepskin A-2 by US Wings is a limited-edition piece that captures the spirit of those who served, blending historical authenticity with modern quality manufacturing. Crafted from New Zealand sheepskin leather, aged to perfection, it bears the marks of time before it even leaves the workshop—grainy, supple, and rich with character. The brass zipper, wool-knit cuffs, and cotton lining stay true to military specifications, while the tailored fit ensures it sits just right, whether you’re stepping into a café or paying homage to the past.

A tribute to the crews who made history.

This jacket is named in honour of the airmen who completed 50 combat missions—a feat of endurance and courage. Think of the B-17 Flying Fortress crews, the Memphis Belle, and all those who relied on their A-2 jackets for warmth and protection in unheated cockpits. US Wings, founded by veteran David Hack, holds the Cooper Original licence, the same company that supplied the original A-2 jackets to the US Army. Every stitch, every detail, is a nod to that legacy. The aged leather isn’t just for aesthetics; it tells a story of resilience, much like the men who wore these jackets into the skies.

Built for the elements, designed for life.

The 50 Mission WWII Sheepskin A-2 is more than a statement piece—it’s a functional jacket for the colder months. The sheepskin leather provides natural insulation, while the wool-knit cuffs and waistband seal in warmth. The two hand-warmer pockets, with their side-entry design, are practical touches that hark back to the original military specs. Inside, the cotton lining ensures comfort, whether you’re layering it over a sweater or a simple T-shirt. It’s a jacket that adapts to your style, whether you pair it with raw denim and boots for a rugged look or chinos and sneakers for a more contemporary edge.

US Wings isn’t just a brand—it’s a custodian of military aviation history. Founded by David Hack, a veteran with a deep respect for the legacy of flight jackets, the company holds the exclusive Cooper Original licence, the same manufacturer that supplied the original A-2 jackets to the US Army during WWII. Every piece they create is a blend of historical accuracy and modern quality manufacturing, ensuring that the spirit of the past lives on in every stitch. Whether it’s a replica of a WWII bomber jacket or a contemporary take on a classic, US Wings delivers authenticity with a passion that’s hard to match.
