The Cooler King's Iconic Flight Jacket

"I believe in me. I'm a little screwed up but I'm beautiful." [Steve McQueen]

INTRODUCING

Steve McQueen wore the A-2 flight jacket as Hilts, "The Cooler King", in The Great Escape.

Originally designed for American airmen, the A-2 had already earned its place in military history. McQueen made it part of one of cinema's most enduring looks.

This is our interpretation in partnership with The McQueen Estate.

Cut from genuine cow leather and given a vintage wash, it arrives already broken in, creased and burnished, the way good leather should be. The standing collar fastens with an antique brass hook-and-bar closure, while a leather placket covers the centre-front zip. Military epaulettes, oversized patch pockets and a ball-puller chest zip complete the authentic silhouette.

Like the original, it's a jacket that looks better worn than stored.

The vintage treatment gives every piece the character of a well-travelled favourite from day one, but the real story begins when you make it your own. Over time, the leather will soften, mould to your shape and develop a patina unique to its wearer.

ORIGINS

Long before Hollywood, the A-2 belonged to the skies.

Introduced in 1931 as standard issue for the United States Army Air Corps, it was earned by those who qualified as aircrew. Built for life in the cockpit, it quickly became more than military issue. Pilots wore their jackets everywhere, often personalising them with squadron insignia, artwork and the marks of years in service.

Then, in 1963, Steve McQueen wore the A-2 as Hilts, "The Cooler King", in The Great Escape. A new generation discovered a jacket that had already proven itself, and its place as a style icon was secured.

Our version honours both stories. Built in vintage-washed cow leather, it remains faithful to the proportions and detailing of the original while being made to wear, age and improve with every journey.
