Avenger or 100 Mission?

Both are pre-distressed G-1s. The Avenger runs alpha sizes (S–5XL) in a regular fit at a lower price; the 100 Mission is the slim-fit premium version aged with Clyman's proprietary process.

Why does each jacket look different?

The vintage treatment is applied by hand and lands differently on every hide.

How does the sizing run?

Regular fit, alpha sizes S–5XL — see the Size Guide chart.

Is the collar real fur?

Yes — the classic G-1 fur collar.

Naval Aviation · The Vintage G-1

The look of years,
without the years.

A G-1 earns its character slowly — unless the workshop puts it there first. The Avenger takes Cockpit's classic G-1 construction and hand-finishes it with a vintage distress that simulates regular use: surface variation in the leather, softened grain, a genuinely worn-in appearance from the first wear. Fur collar, bi-swing back, traditional pockets, rib knits — and alpha sizing that makes it the most accessible vintage G-1 in the lineup. Made in the USA.

The Material

Worn in,
not worn out.

The vintage treatment reproduces what regular use does to a G-1: surface variation, softened grain, tonal depth. It arrives with age and keeps aging honestly on top of it.

Every hide takes the treatment differently — no two Avengers match.

What Customers Say

Questions

Before you fly.

Avenger or 100 Mission — which vintage G-1?

It keeps the classic G-1 construction — fur collar, bi-swing back, traditional pockets — with a disclosed vintage finish. For the strict regulation jacket, see the G-1 Mil-Spec.

How does the sizing run?

Regular fit in alpha sizes S–5XL — see the Size Guide chart for flat measurements.

Is the collar real fur?

Yes — the classic G-1 fur collar.

Made in USA?
