Barnstorming was an early "extreme" sport, performed by both male and female daredevils, who thrilled crowds across the country with their death-defying aerial antics. Our Barnstormer Collection captures the adventurous and daring spirit of that glorious open-cockpit era of the '20s and '30s. Our authentic assortment of items includes vintage leather flight jackets, flying goggles, leather helmets, and our 100% silk scarf -- a must-have for every well-dressed daredevil!

Inspired by the caps worn by USAAF bomber crews during WWII, our aviator "Trapper" cap is the ultimate headgear for cold weather wear!

A great cap to wear for snowboarding, skiing, or open-cockpit flying. It's also a great way to keep your head warm when taking a stroll or doing outdoor chores on a cold winter day.

100% Pure Silk! For that added touch of panache, nothing beats a silk scarf! Our white, authentic aviation scarf is 100% pure silk and is hand-sewn in Tibet. The scarf measures approx. 6 ft. long and 12 in. wide, and is the perfect complement to any of our fine leather flight jackets. This silk scarf is made in the same tradition as its World War II counterparts — rarely do you see a picture of a pilot who is not wearing one. Our authentic aviation silk scarf can be hand-washed and air dried.
You must see and feel this scarf to truly appreciate its quality. Others may sell knock-offs, but the "real thing" is available exclusively from US Wings*! Our silk scarf is more substantial too; silk scarves sold by others weigh-in at 60 g, while our silk scarf weighs 94 g.
The US Wings white silk scarf has always identified its wearer as a true professional. Recalling the bygone glory days of open cockpit barnstormers, the white silk scarf remains popular with today's fashion-conscious individuals... nothing quite captures the daredevil spirit of the aviator like a silk scarf worn with a leather flight jacket! Whether you're a dashing pilot (or just want to look like one!), this classic piece of aviation apparel is for you!

Vintage Cowhide A-2 2000

Vintage leather jackets have often been associated with "men of action" and require many years of hard wearing (and, sometimes, death-defying adventures) to achieve their distinctive "vintage" appearance. Who has time for that nowadays? Our Vintage A-2 2000 gives you the coveted look of a true "vintage" garment, but without the time, effort or risk to life & limb!
Our Vintage A-2 2000 is constructed from beautiful antique Italian cowhide leather. This incredibly supple leather has been hand-aged, giving the jacket that subtle patina of "wear" (and each jacket has its own unique characteristics, like subtle color variations & varied graining, so no two jackets will look exactly alike). The jacket is based on the WWII pattern for a trim fit and features two front cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, one inside pocket, snap-down collar, one piece back and sleeves, stitched-down epaulets, and brass zipper. A truly outstanding flight jacket that looks and feels "lived-in" from the first time you put it on!
Special limited-time introductory price of $195!

 Our authentic Collectors Edition Indy-style Adventurer jacket is constructed from a very special pre-distressed cowhide. The leather is from the same tannery that supplied the leather to the studio to create the on-screen jackets worn by the star of the 2008 movie featuring that famous fedora-wearing archaeologist. This leather, which duplicates the look of the movie leather, is a very soft chocolate brown cowhide and features a variety of graining, scuffs, range marks and distressing to give it an authentic "vintage" look. The jackets are not churned out on an assembly line, but are handcrafted from handpicked hides to ensure the utmost quality. Other features include: two front snap-flapped cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, bi-swing back for freedom of movement, adjustable side straps for a custom fit, top & bottom snaps on the windflap, and an inside pocket. All in all, we feel this is a jacket that any adventure-seeking archaeologist would be proud to wear and one that is truly rugged enough to handle your real-life adventures! A US Wings exclusive. Made in the USA.
This Collectors Edition jacket will be made in limited quantities and will be available while supplies last.

The Cockpit® Stearman Vest
|
click image to see detail
(will open in a new window) |
|
 The Cockpit® Stearman Leather Vest is a descendant of the vests worn by the barnstorming stunt pilots of the 1920s and 1930s. Its inspiration came from a resourceful barnstormer who cut the worn-out sleeves off of his leather flight jacket and wound up with a sharp-looking (and practical) leather vest! The vest left the pilot's arms unfettered and offered enough protection from the elements when barnstorming in an open cockpit bi-plane on warm summer days -- while still providing the desired panache of a leather flight jacket!
Our version is considerably more refined than the improvised original and does not require the use of scissors. The vest is constructed from antique lambskin leather and features two front zippered handwarmer pockets, a zippered utility pocket with pen-pencil slots on the left chest, an inside pocket, full front zipper under snap-down storm flap, nylon WWII "escape map" lining, a bit of polyfil insulation for warmth, and a knit waistband. All the style of a leather "bomber" jacket and the ideal garment for temperate conditions. Made in the USA.
