Description
Prior to December 1941 as a volunteer fighter squadron fighting the Japanese in China, the American Volunteer Group was nicknamed the Flying Tigers. Absorbed into the Army Air Force on July 4th 1942, the 23rd Fighter Group was the official new name for the AVG, but kept their nom de guerre “The Flying Tigers”. This authentic Flying Tigers leather bomber jacket is studded with history. Pair this original Flying Tigers flight jacket with the Flying Tigers Tee to complete your look.

A lot of quality in this one
"First and foremost I was pleasantly amazed to hear from my veteran Air Force buddies how surprised they were to learn that this A2 jacket wasn’t an issued item. The quality put into this jacket is top notch. No detail was too minor to be included. It is well worth what I paid for it."

Exceeds expectations! + Size advice
"I am 31 Years old male, normal, 181cm (5'11) and 75kg (165lb). Hesitated between size 40 and 42, checked with the smart sizing tool and had a chat with people from Cokpit and decided to go for the size 40. This size is a great fit for me, i like having a little wiggle room in my bombers in the back (and belly (too much swiss chocolate) ;) and the size 40 made me happy about this, i believe the size 42 could have been okay but then the shoulders would not have been as nice and i think it would have been too baggy on the hips (too big). my advice, if you are with my size and weight, go for the size 40, you will not regret it. (keep in mind that leather extends and adapts to your body in time, it's a living piece) Now for the jacket, the smell is amazing, the colors as well, the interior decoration is amazing. The leather is matched, really nice, don't even need to condition it out of the box. You can feel the weight and the quality of this product. I personally think this jacket is one of the best products of Cokpit USA. Now for the cut of the jacket, i believe that the cut is pre-WW2, like in the 30's (check the story of the flying tigers ;) ) , which means it's a tiny less baggy (tiny slimmer)) than the other A2's that are like in the 1943-1950's era. So keep this in mind. My jacket fit exactly like in the picture, just perfect for me! However, if you like to have a really baggy jacket, then maybe go for another model like the government or just pick a size 42. Congrats !"
