Setting the Criteria of Fashion and Function- 2 Movies that captured both Fashion and Function of a Jacket and became American Classic
Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Tom Cruise in TOP GUN No.1 are two movies that left an enduring image, due to a simple jacket. Jackets are the quintessential fashion statement that can accent one’s wardrobe. A simple jacket can accent a simple pair of blue jeans or chino khakis to an elegance status that would have gone unnoticed without the jacket.
In a pair of movies, a pair of khakis in Indiana Jones and pair of blue jeans in TOP GUN featured with leather jackets became enduring images with the American public. In an experiment, below, I compared a Leather Jacket with a Sport Jacket to see what made more of an impression. In other words, what jacket caught your eye the most?
So I posed with my US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket and my Blue Blazer wool-blend Sports Jacket, side-by-side, in two comparisons, one in a parlor setting and another at my farm with a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette . Just as a test to see what impact these two classics had on the observer’s eye.
We, at US WINGS®, supply leather flight jackets for the following movies:
· Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Not only are these leather jackets fashionable, but they are, more importantly, functionable, providing durability and protection with a means of being cleaned, without dry-cleaning. These leather jackets can be cleaned with a simple solution of dish detergent (1- teaspoon) and water (8 oz.) and wiped down with a paper towel or soft cloth.
The A-2 Leather Flight Jacket was developed due to the 1918 Spanish Flu to protect U.S. Military Pilots and paratroopers from future pandemics.
