The Cockpit® Vintage Goatskin G-1
[With Patches]
|

(will open in a new window) |
|
 This outstanding Cockpit® jacket is a superb reproduction of a 1950s Korean War-era US Navy G-1, and each jacket is individually hand-distressed for an authentic "aged" look. Generally, the finish on new military-issue goatskin G-1s was quite durable and did not distress rapidly with wear (unlike the finish on many contemporary lambskin jackets). Accordingly, the distressing on this jacket is very subtle -- just a hint of wear along the waistband & cuffs and along various seams -- which adds that slight patina of age that an actual vintage G-1 would have. In addition, the goatskin leather has that supple "broken-in" feel of a truly veteran jacket!
The fur collar is a genuine '50s-era collar in the same medium brown color as the collars on the WWII M422s and early G-1s. Other authentic features include the genuine '50s-era bidirectional single-ply waistband, extra-long double-ply cuffs, a narrow wind flap with "USN" perforation, underarm gussets and bi-swing back for freedom of movement, heavy-duty zipper, two front cargo pockets featuring the correct '50s-era pocket flaps (which had a more "pointed" bottom edge, unlike the more rectangular-shaped flaps of later G-1s), an inside map pocket, and a nylon lining. In keeping with military authenticity, there are no side-entry handwarmer pockets and the fit is military (not full-cut or oversized).
There are also nine original patches (2 in front, one on each sleeve, and 5 on the back) that trace the career of a naval aviator during the 1950s and include Heavy Attack Wing 2 (whose motto translates to: "We will find a way, or we will make one"), VAH-2 Sky Warriors (a USN A-3 Heavy Attack Squadron; the "M" on the "tori" gate indicates Detachment M), Task Force 77 USS Ticonderoga (TF77 is the carrier strike force of the US 7th Fleet), HATRON TWO ("Heavy ATtack squadRON TWO" -- Det M of VAH-2 operated off the USS Ticonderoga from Sept '57-Apr '58), Task Force 77 USS Philippine Sea (CVA-47 was the flagship of TF77 during the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950), VC-6 "Fleurs" (a composite squadron formed in 1950, it was redesignated VAH-6 in '56 and transitioned to Skywarriors in '58), and a US Seventh Fleet patch (whose motto is "Ready Power For Peace").
This is one of the finest jackets we've seen and is a true collector's item. The level of authenticity, craftsmanship and attention to detail in this American-made G-1 is outstanding and you're guaranteed to turn heads whenever you wear it! Made in the USA.

[Without Patches]

(will open in a new window) |
|
We also offer The Cockpit® Vintage Goatskin G-1 without patches. This jacket is styled like the earlier M422s/G-1s from WWII, Korea and late-60s Vietnam. The jackets are individually hand-distressed for that authentic "aged" look and features a vintage medium brown collar, vintage bidirectional single-ply waistband, extra-long double-ply cuffs, a narrow wind flap with "USN" perforation, underarm gussets and bi-swing back for freedom of movement, heavy-duty zipper, two front cargo pockets featuring the correct vintage-style pocket flaps, an inside map pocket, and a nylon lining. In keeping with military authenticity, there are no side-entry handwarmer pockets and the fit is military (not full-cut or oversized).
This G-1 is a great "blank canvas" for adding your own USN or USMC patches (especially original vintage patches*), or wear it as is. Either way, this authentic American-made vintage-style jacket is one of the finest we've seen and one you'll be proud to be seen in! Made in the USA.
*Many customers who've purchased this jacket have an authentic vintage G-1 (either from their own service days or one that was handed down to them from a loved one) which no longer fits. They remove the patches from their original G-1 and sew them onto this jacket, creating a "new original" with the same vintage look as their old original.

Lady Luck will be with you when you wear this Limited Edition "Las Vegas Lady" Lambskin A-2 from The Cockpit®. The WWII-style "nose art" that adorns the back of this jacket is sepia-toned to give it an antiqued appearance. All the classic A-2 features are here, including snap-down collar, two front cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, stitched-down epaulets, storm flap over antique brass zipper, two inside pockets, knit cuffs and waistband, and one-piece back (which is normally not found on a lambskin jacket due to the small size of the hides). The antique lambskin leather will further distress as you wear it to give you that desirable "battle-worn" look. The jacket is lightly insulated and features a satin lining with WWII escape map and WWII "newspaper clipping" and a "pilot ID" for a nostalgic touch. This is a limited edition jacket -- once these are gone, they will no longer be available. Full cut for a slightly oversize fit. Made in the USA.

This is the classic Cockpit® Top Gun G-1, similar to the ones worn by the Navy's best of the best! Like any proper "Top Gun" jacket, this one features a variety of naval patches, including a special 9" x 11.5" pieced leather blood chit on the jacket's back (the red stripes, blue field, and anchor are individual pieces of leather sewn onto the leather chit). This updated G-1 has all the standard G-1 features, but also adds a few not found on US Navy-issued G-1s, like a removeable chocolate brown fur collar, two front cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, two interior leather trimmed pockets, satin WWII escape map lining, polyfil insulation for warmth, and a roomy full-cut fit. Also features a pen slot under left pocket flap, inside wind flap, bi-swing back for freedom of movement, knit cuffs and waistband, and antiqued brass zipper. The jacket's shell is made from soft and supple antique lambskin leather, which feels like an old friend from day one. The antique lambskin will further distress the more you wear it, giving you that desirable "battle worn" look and adding even more character to the jacket. This is truly an outstanding jacket and, by far, the most popular Top Gun G-1 jacket we offer! Made in the USA.
