The 40th Anniversary of Raiders of The Lost Ark- US WINGS® Contribution to Hollywood the Authentic A-2, G-1, & Indiana Jones Leather Jackets
Actually there are two anniversaries during the month of June of 2021, as noted the 40th Anniversary of Raiders of the Lost Ark and the other is the 90th Anniversary of the design and manufacture of the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket that we supply to the U.S. Military. I must admit, I have a preference, I prefer our A-2 Leather Flight Jacket because of the elastic cuffs and waistband.
US WINGS® has supplied our Authentic Leather Jacket to Hollywood to allow the film producers to have the authentic Leather Jackets that we supply our U.S. Military. In the case of the Indiana Jones-style Leather Jacket, that we also supply Hollywood for the Indiana Jones series.
Our leather jackets have been used in the following movies that you might have seen:
- “24”
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
- Behind Enemy Lines
- The Tuskegee Airmen
- Dogs of War
- Space Cowboys
- The 6th Day
- Red Sky A.K.A Kerosene Cowboys
- Amelia’s Journey
- Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Our leather jackets don’t only appear in the movies as noted in the list above, but are worn by some of the most famous actors and actresses alike because they are authentic and have that nostalgic look, feel, durability:
| Jon Voight | Greta Van Susteren |
| John Travolta | Dave Letterman |
| Clint Eastwood | Toby Keith |
| Angelina Jolie (Pilot) | Eric Clapton |
| Arnold Schwarzenegger | Marc Anthony |
| Hugh Laurie | Erica Lane |
| Deidre Imus |
I wear my A-2 Leather Flight Jacket not just on business meetings with clients or over the weekends tailgating with friends at football games, that we will be enjoying again, soon. But actually riding my INDIAN Scout Bobber 60 Motorcycle. I just don’t leave the house without my A-2 Leather Flight Jacket; that has become my sports jacket.
The A-2 Leather Flight Jacket is durable enough that it can go from charter flights on business trips to riding the open road on my INDIAN Scout. The more you wear our leather jackets the more patina look it develops that is classic that pilots wear as a badge of distinction.
Little has changed from the original design in June 9, of 1931, that is right, 90- years without any significant changes made like a Rembrandt masterpiece hanging in your closet. Oddly enough the A-2 Leather Jacket was in response to the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic. That is one of the key draws of this iconic jacket everywhere I travel for form, function, and fashion. Our Jackets are also great for personalizing with your company, organization logos, or military service insignia.
Can you imagine Indiana Jones going off on his NEXT adventure without his leather jacket and fedora; it would be impossible to think of for me of Indy taking off to his next archeological find. These jackets are great to replace your sports jackets for men or women wear.
