I wish the green flight jacket could be standard for the flight suit, BDUs, and blues, but, alas, no.

A brown leather A-2 would look nice if it was authorized (it is not), but not a sage green flight jacket.

At present, the only leather jacket authorized is only permitted with the corporate uniforms. Meaning blue/white, and grey/white or with the blue flightsuit.

Also presently, there is no leather jacket authorized with an Air Force variant uniform. The brown leather A-2 is also expressly forbidden for wear in 39-1.

(Used to be $99, I own three of these, nice quality, leather not too thick nor too thin, perfect for sewing a namebadge and majcom patch to.)

Lets not confuse the issue by posting links to black leather jackets.  The question has been asked and answered.
