Union Jacket Purchase Proposal

Jacket Description:

Genuine USAF-spec A-2! The US Wings Signature Series™ Goatskin A-2 is a genuine, current-issue USAF A-2. Unlike the standard Goatskin A-2s available elsewhere, our Premium version is available exclusively from US Wings! What's the difference? These are not assembly-line products. Only the finest goatskins in the world are used for these jackets. They are handcrafted and hand-stitched, producing a jacket of outstanding quality... and a difference you can see! Yet US Wings offers this Premium Goatskin A-2 for a "standard" price! Authentic in every detail, the features include: snap-down collar, collar clip, stitched-down epaulets, original snap-close patch pockets, mil-spec brass zipper, and knit cuffs and waistband. The Signature Series™ A-2 from US Wings... a jacket with the "right stuff." Made in the USA. US Wings is an authorized vendor for US Government-issue items. After many requests, we've re-designed our most popular A-2 and added side-entry hand warmer pockets and one inside pocket as a concession to the changing times. The side-entry pockets are separate from the patch pockets, making them roomier and more accessible. The additional pockets make this jacket far more practical, while still offering you all the features you've come to expect in a military-issue A-2: snap-down collar, one piece back, snap-close cargo pockets, stitched-down epaulets, and mil-spec brass zipper. The A-2 2000 is the new cutting edge in A-2 jackets! Made in the USA.
