Featuring The A-2 Cape Buffalo Leather Jacket

The classic fit, functionality, look, durability, and craftsmanship are unquestionably the traits of the A-2 Cape Buffalo Flight Jacket. The A-2 Flight Jacket is known for these attributes, but earned its reputation during World War 2, and was the favorite of the Flying Tigers in Burma with battle tested and weather tested conditions.

A version of the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket even provided the distinctive trademark for Indiana Jones, played my Harrison Ford, in Raiders of the Lost Ark. The A-2 Leather Jacket is a part of the American persona that offers men and women alike an excellent look with khaki chinos pants for the week and a relaxed fit with blue jeans for the weekend.

The iconic A-2 Cape Buffalo Flight Jacket is very effective in being recognized so much so that the jacket can be personalized to champion brands for companies, organizations, or individuals, with minimal cost and the greatest exposure. But the biggest benefit of the A-2 jacket is the one-on-one interaction it provides you on a daily basis.

Please visit my online store with this link or in the toolbar above to purchase and personalize three styles of the A-2 Jacket, including a women’s jacket. These are handcrafted in America and are of the finest quality for the money. Also look at the Khaki Chino pants with tailored inseam (from 26 to 36 inches in quarter inch increments) are a standard part of my dress code on and off the golf course.

One of my favorite aircraft is the P-51 Mustang that is still ranked as the number ONE fighter worldwide even among modern-day fighters like the F-16 Tomcat. I’m photographed with the P-51 from the Southern Heritage Aviation Museum in Tallulah, LA on LA Hwy 602 just north off I-20. This is a must see museum with functional aircraft.
