Our New American Classic Leather Jacket Collection that includes such classic as The Fonzie-Style, Indiana Jones-Style, The 1931 A-2 Leather Flight Jacket, and The G-1 Leather Flight Jacket that are the same Leather Flight Jackets issued to our U.S. Military and used by movie studios for their authenticity. I’m shown here with my INDIAN Scout Bobber 60 wearing my US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket.

Fonzie/Indiana Jones Classic Leather Jackets– Based on the U.S. A-2 Leather Flight Jacket that has Been apart of American History since 1931

The U.S. A-2 Leather Jacket has been a major part of our history (both military and civilian) since 1931 when the U.S. Army Air Corps developed and issued the leather flight jacket to pilots during World War II. A version of this iconic and classic A-2 Leather Flight Jacket became the persona of two legendary entertainers/actors- Fonzie in Happy Days and Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The U.S. A-2 Leather Flight Jacket has changed very little since first issued by the U.S. Military. The Fonzie and Indiana Jones Style Leather Jackets played major roles in both Henry Winkler’s and Harrison Ford’s characters and charismatic image that impacted fashion. It would be hard to imagine how these actors’ characters be impacted  without their leather jackets?

The A-2 Leather Jackets Symbolizes American’s Military True Grit of Our Country

Leather has played a major role in help build the power grid of our country in climbing gear that linemen strap on and buckle up to build one of the World’s greatest economies. Our A-2 Leather Jackets provide Fire Rated protection that was one of the reasons the U.S. Army Corps developed the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket in 1931 for its pilots to protect them from being burn in the cockpit. They also provide a barrier against viruses after the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic.

Ever since the first linemen strapped on and buckled up their hooks and leather belts and climbed poles to string the wire, we’ve been putting our life on the line by relying on the leather for protection. Leather is not only used in aviation but as been used for centuries as climbing belts and hooks straps, leather jackets and gloves that protected us from flashovers while we are in the ZONE, and pilots in the cockpit.

The same 1931 A-2 Leather Flight Jackets that the U.S. Army Air Corps developed serve as the basis for the Arthur Fonzarelli and Indiana Jones Leather Jackets. We have also supplied the movie studios with the Indiana Jones-Style Leather Jacket for the making of the Indiana Jones Movies.

We are NOW proud to offer the third classic jacket, The NEW Fonzie-Style Bison Leather Jacket, just like the one Arthur Fonzarelli wore for the 11- Season run of Happy Days. There is one main difference from both the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket and the Indiana Jones-Style Leather Jacket, The Fonzie-Style Leather Jackets has slash pockets, whereas the other two jackets have patch pockets and side-entry pockets under the patch pockets for hand warmers.

When you are out on the line working ice storms, these side hand-warmer pockets are very nice to have to avoid those cold and windy days.

The Three Leather Jackets that are a part of Our American Classic Leather Jacket Collection, and Why They Are Important NOW!

These Three leather jackets make excellent sports jackets that don’t require dry cleaning, but a simple wipe down with a moist paper towel dabbed in a solution of dishwater soap (1- teaspoon) with water (8 oz.). This simple wipe down cleans and sanitizes these jackets periodically to help avoid viruses, like COVID-19. The cloth sports jacket can be a breeding ground for certain viruses and bacteria to spread if not professionally clearned.

I ride my INDIAN Scout Bobber 60 to the hangar to catch a flight and to attend monthly meetings. The A-2 Leather Flight Jacket provides an excellent motorcycle jacket as Maverick (Tom Cruise) demonstrates on TOPGUN 1 and 2 Movies.

  

These are perfect 3- Seasonal Sports Jackets that look great with blue jeans or for a weekend adventure, as they do with dress slacks or khakis for business or evening wear. I even use my A-2 Leather Flight Jacket while riding my INDIAN Scout Bobber Motorcycle, much like Fonzie wore his leather jacket while riding his Triumph Trophy TR5 Motorcycle. How cool is that?

The American Classic Collection of Leather Jackets are great worn with Khakis for business or for a weekend adventures that are both durable and fashionable!

To Take Care of Your Leather Jackets

I prize and take care of US WINGS® Leather Jackets, like my favorite baseball glove that I have had since high school playing 3rd base.

Even Though, I’m Retired from line work after 33- years, I’m still called back in to help out with storm restoration work like with Laura, Delta in 2020, Ida in 2021, and Kentucky tornado damage. Where I’m returning on Tuesday. I’m 64 years old and still like to remain active both in work and sports. I’m able to do this my following The DELPHI DIET & FITNESS System that allows me to be of assistance to others:

This photograph below was taken on November 09th, 2021 after we did a photo shoot of our Fall & Winter Fashion. I was challenged by the camera crew to an AB Challenge

The Top 2 New Year’s Resolution are:

  1. Lose Weight
  2. Get into Better Shape

NOTE: I have been on The DELPHI DIET & FITNESS System since 2014. Below is my Waistline Chart, as of today, I have a 29.50- inch waist:

This is my Waistline Chart that I kept starting on November 28, 2014 and lost 8.25- inches in 9- months that I have managed to keep off NOW for 7- years. The real measure of a diet & fitness program isn’t losing the inches and pounds, it is keeping the inches and pounds off over the long-run! And I would recommend that you record your diet and fitness status– because if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it and be successful.

NOTE: When it comes to your fitness, it isn’t the amount of weight that you can lift, but the amount of reps you can do. If you can ONLY DO 5 curls to start off with, do five until you can build from there. Fitness is a marathon.

This is my GYM that I renovated from an attic space over my golf training facility and photography studio. I’m 64 years old and have managed to maintain my muscle mass. Just don’t concentrate on aerobic training ONLY, but include Strength/Conditioning.
