Cockpit USA Mens US Navy Carrier Pilot Jacket

Cockpit USA’s G-1 Vintage Naval Aviator Jacket recreates the rare, battle-worn look of a fighter pilot’s modified G-1 from the USS Forrestal. The original jacket that inspired this design had its mouton fur collar removed and replaced with leather—a common field modification for pilots who flew primarily in warm-weather environments and needed a cooler, more streamlined fit. With its hand-treated goatskin and authentic naval detailing, this furless G-1 delivers a rugged, historically accurate profile true to the aviators who served aboard the Forrestal and later the Constellation with squadrons like VA-65.

Crafted with vintage goatskin that’s distressed for a naturally worn appearance, this G-1 includes a bi-swing back for mobility, a wind-flapped zipper, vented underarm gussets, and classic naval patch-pocket styling. Finished with satin lining, knit cuffs and waistband, and a perforated USN wind flap, it balances heritage authenticity with practical comfort. Every jacket carries the character of a piece that’s already lived a life at sea and on the flight deck.
