The A-2 flight jacket: a piece of history, worn by legends.

The Z2107H Mahogany from Cockpit USA isn’t just a leather jacket—it’s a meticulous reproduction of the A-2, the iconic flight jacket issued to US Army Air Forces pilots during the Second World War. Crafted in the United States from full-grain horsehide in a deep mahogany shade, this jacket carries the weight of history while offering the durability and character of military-grade leather. Over time, the horsehide develops a rich patina, telling the story of every adventure it accompanies.

Built to last, designed for comfort.

This jacket stays true to the original 1931 specifications, down to the smallest details. The rust-coloured cotton poplin lining ensures breathability and comfort, while the brass zipper under a wind flap, snap-button collar, and hook-and-eye neck closure provide both functionality and authenticity. Two snap-button flap pockets offer practical storage, and knitted cuffs and waistband keep the cold out without restricting movement. Ventilation eyelets under the arms prevent overheating, making it versatile enough for year-round wear.

A timeless silhouette for the modern man.

The regular fit of the Z2107H is designed to accommodate layering, whether you’re pairing it with a chunky knit for winter or a lightweight shirt in autumn. Its classic aviator style effortlessly bridges the gap between rugged and refined—throw it over a pair of jeans and boots for a no-nonsense look, or layer it with a chino and a collared shirt for a smart-casual ensemble. This is a jacket that doesn’t just follow trends; it defines them, season after season.

Cockpit USA has been a guardian of military aviation heritage since 1975, specialising in faithful reproductions of historic flight jackets. Based in New York, the brand combines traditional quality manufacturing with rigorous attention to detail, ensuring each piece meets the exacting standards of the original military specifications. From the A-2 to the G-1, Cockpit USA’s jackets are worn by enthusiasts and collectors who value authenticity as much as style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the thickness of the horsehide leather used?

The horsehide leather is full-grain military-grade, typically ranging between 2.5mm to 3mm in thickness, offering durability whilst maintaining flexibility.

How does the cotton poplin lining affect breathability?

The rust-coloured cotton poplin lining is lightweight and breathable, allowing air circulation to keep the wearer comfortable whilst providing a smooth layer against the skin.

Are the underarm grommets functional for ventilation?

Yes, the underarm grommets are fully functional, designed to improve airflow and reduce heat build-up during wear.

How does the fit of this jacket compare to modern slim-fit styles?

The regular cut offers a classic, slightly roomier fit compared to modern slim-fit styles, allowing for layering underneath whilst maintaining a structured silhouette.

Does the brass zipper require any special maintenance?

Can the knit cuffs and waistband be stretched if needed?

The knit cuffs and waistband are designed to retain their shape but can be gently stretched slightly if necessary. However, excessive stretching may cause them to lose elasticity over time.
