The Grand Slam of American Historical Classics Fashion- The 1963 Corvette, Blue Button-Down Oxford Shirt, Classic Blue Jeans, and The A-2 Leather Flight Jacket
There are 4 Classic in American Fashion considered the Grand Slam of fashion. The classic look with the Button-down Oxford and blue jeans with the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket with THE ’63 CORVETTE. How many of you can’t forget the 1986 TOP*GUN Movies, 1 with Maverick (Tom Cruise) wearing his G-1 Leather Flight Jacket with a T-Shirt and a pair of blue jeans while riding the Kawasaki Ninja (GP-z900R)?
I still watch this movie today every time it comes on. I’m waiting for TOP*GUN Movie 2 to be released in December 2020. TOP*GUN 2 was scheduled to be released in June of 2020, but due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, it has been postponed until December of 2020. We have the exact same replica of the Nylon Flight Jacket that Maverick is wearing in the movie with authentic patches, shown below, that can be purchased. Buy early before these jackets are on back order!
In the featured photograph, in second photograph I’m wearing the Triple Crown of American Classic fashion: The blue button-down Oxford shirt, and the American Standard, Blue Jeans with The CLASSIC- 1963 Red Chevrolet Corvette, If it was up to me, I would be wearing blue jeans every day and everywhere, and not just for leisure weekend wear either, but for business attire wear as well. But in certain business settings and meetings, I have to trade my blue jeans in for another American classic, the Chino khakis pants and a sports jacket and tie to meet with executives.
Blue Jeans to Chino Khakis Trade- off
Chino Khakis pants trade-off isn’t that bad of a trade-off, as I get to trade my blue jeans in for wearing my tailored fitted Chino khaki pants another American classic in fashion. To finish my ensemble, I wear the real and true sports jacket, which is my US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket.
In reality, that’s not too bad of a trade-off, because this classic look of my A-2 Leather Flight Jacket provides me confidence I need in meeting new customers, it is a great ice breaker. Everyone takes notice of my jacket, everywhere I go, it is like wearing a neon sign. First thing that people want to do is to feel the high quality leather of the jacket. Next is THE QUESTION that I always get, Is this an authentic A-2 Flight Jacket that the U.S. Military wears? My answer is YES it is, we supply these flight jackets to the U.S. Military, the design has changed little since the early 1930’s.
But as soon as I lose the tie, I can change into some of my favorite blue jeans, with my US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket that also makes for an excellent motorcycle jacket that I actually wear to ride my motorcycle. What makes the US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket an American Classic, is its versatility.
A real Sports Jacket that is really THE SPORTS JACKET that goes great with any ensemble, that can go from tailgating with friends at a college football game to an evening dinner with friends. The A-2 Leather Flight Jacket goes from the open road, to the open skies, and then to an open invitation you might have on the spur of the moment with family and/or friends to a really nice restaurant! Some restaurants where I meet clients and friends require jackets and ties.
You can be worry free with the US WINGS A-2 Leather Flight Jacket. This A-2 Leather Flight Jacket isn’t just for looks, it also for your protection!
The New Sports Jacket that can Provide Protection
The US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket (that I’m an authorized dealer for) can be cleaned and sanitized without having a dry cleaning bill or weekly trip to the cleaners. The US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket can easily be cleaned and sanitized as needed by YOU with just wiping it down with water (8 oz.) and plain dish detergent ( 1 teaspoon) solution using a simple paper towel dabbing the paper tower in the solution. This works great for the COVID-19 Pandemic that looks like will be around for the foreseeable future, or at least until we have a proven vaccine.
The original design for the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket was due to the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic, in the early 1930’s, as the U.S. Military needed a flight jacket that would protect their highly trained pilots from pandemics in the future, the U.S. Military redesigned the button-up open sleeves A-1 Leather Flight Jacket. Thus, the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket was created. Just a Note of history- More military personnel were lost to the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic in WW1 than were killed in battle.
I hope we have a vaccine sooner than later, because I miss baseball and seeing the New York Yankees play when I can travel once again to New York and landing at LaGuardia Airport.

TOP*GUN Nylon Flight Jacket
We carry the Replica of the TOP*GUN 2 Movie CWU-45P Nylon Flight Jacket that Maverick (Tom Cruise) is wearing in the second Movie below. This jacket has the authentic TOP*GUN Patches that are supplied to the TOP*GUN School Navy Strike Fighter Tactics at The Navy Air Station Fallon in western Nevada. It moved from Miramar in 1986.
When I was performing a routine aerial patrol in northeast Mississippi, at tree top level in a 206 Bell Jet Ranger (Helicopter), a F-14 Tomcat Jolly Roger decided to pay his respects and dropped in from 10,000 feet where he was flying to approximately 400 feet and cross in front of me about a half-of-a-mile ahead before almost going vertical again. It always great opportunity for the U.S. Navy to drop-in to pay their respects.
When I was in Corpus Christie, Texas on business, I had to visit the Aircraft Carrier The USS Lexington that had a F-14 Tomcat that was from the Jolly Roger squadron on its flight deck. Because the last time I saw one of these Jolly Rogers, I was flying a helicopter at 60 knots and it was doing 275 knots that made it impossible to take a high quality photograph of for my album.
