Cockpit USA Men's 100 Mission G-1 Aviator Leather Flight Jacket

Crafted to look and feel like a preserved WWII-era original, the Cockpit USA 100 Mission G-1 Aviator Leather Flight Jacket is one of the most authentic vintage naval jackets ever produced. Proudly manufactured in the USA, this G-1 features hand-treated goatskin leather and an aged mouton shearling collar, giving it the broken-in character of a jacket that has logged countless missions at sea and in the air.

Using proprietary distressing techniques developed over 35 years by Cockpit USA founder Jeff Clyman, each jacket undergoes an intricate aging process that creates natural highs, lows, and grain patterns in the leather. No two pieces are ever identical—the fit, finish, and coloration vary slightly with every production, reinforcing the individuality and heritage of a true mission-worn flight jacket. The result is a G-1 that looks like it was pulled straight from naval archives, yet wears comfortably from day one.

Designed with classic naval aviation features including a bi-swing back, wind-flap zipper, rib-knit trims, and 1950s-style flap pockets, this jacket delivers both historical accuracy and modern wearability. Lightweight lining ensures comfort, while the hand-antiqued collar completes the unmistakable G-1 silhouette.

This Cockpit G-1 jacket is very similar in fit and design to the Top Gun reproduction jacket, just without the patches.
