overall good purchase
by A Customer from great neck NY USA 
Pros: well made and supple
Cons: sleeves on the long side
Review: I've had other leather flight jackets in the past, the cockpit G3 is made from a thicker weight leather. This jacket is put together well and seems very sturdy.
It has a shiny finish right out of the box but does not look "antique". The lining is quite interesting with the map. This jacket is not made for a warm day, I would say 35-55 degreesF. The only thing I did not like is that the sleeves are a little on the long side. The body is relaxed fitting enough so you can get a light sweater underneath without any trouble. I wear 44 Reg and the large was a good fit. Overall a eye catching garment.

Husband loves the jacket
by Beverly from Marlboro NJ USA 
Review: We were skeptical about buying the jacket on line. We are very happy with it. My husband weighs 170 and is 5 ft 10 and got the large. He was very happy and is showing it off to all his friends.

by James from Richmond VA USA 
Pros: Excellent craftmanship. Almost too good. Has a good heavy weight.
Cons: The fur collar color is too red. a brown would be better. The inner breast pockets could be a little larger.
Review: This is great jacket. Very similar to the real Navy flight jacket in the 60's. I like the side pockets.

I would strongly reccomend this jacket to anyone.
by Angel I. from Kln, Germany 
Review: This Navy G1 Jacket is exactly what I was looking for: high quality, good looking, very well made and it fits perfect on my body and when I'm wearing it I look much younger.I love this jacket! It's impossible to find such a beautiful, high quality jacket and GOOD PRICE in Europa.
I am really happy that I have bought the jacket from your store. The shipping with USPS Global Express was also very good and fast.
Excelent service!
You are great Brandon, thank you from all my heart. I'm going to wear this jacket with great pleasure and I would strongly reccomend it to anyone.

by J.R. from Portland OR USA 
Pros: soft plush leather
Cons: very warm in the cold weather
Review: It was everything you fella's said it would be , it's taking on new wrinkles every time I wear it . Which is pretty much everywhere. It makes the true meaning of what a leather jacket should wear, feel and smell like it makes a very distinctive sound that only leather on leather can make and I really dig that .The pleats the way it is taking on a patina that is truly antique, I have often thought of purchasing another and still vey well might here in the future. Thanks again for your quick response to changing my order from large to medium I'm real happy fellas!!!  So being a former marine, Not a pilot, this coat has become one with me I have found the jacket that expresses my personality and i feel that it breaks in right, when you truly appreciate what quality of craftsmanship that went in "TO MY JACKET" when I wear it it's like were dancin. THANKS AGAIN I WILL KEEP SPREADING THE WORD JUDSON RUSSELL HOLDEN III

Don't judge a book by it's cover.
by Steve from Little Ferry NJ USA 
Pros: Good looking Jacket.
Review: Overall, I'm satisfied with the G-1 Jacket in all aspects except for the bi-swing back which seems to remain expanded when not being stretched out. It dosen't remain flat at rest. The fit is good and the leather quality is fine along with the general style of the Jacket. Note also that the zipper is very hard to get aligned and started.

Very disappointed
by Nathan from Friday Harbor WA USA 
Pros: Nice leather and weight
Cons: Sizing and fitment
Review: Sizing not at all as advertised. I wear an XL in all jackets and I swim in this thing! I should have ordered a large, no question! I relied on the recommendations of the website. Then after a couple of days, a front button fell off and I could not locate it so I'm stuck with a jacket I'll never wear. Too bad, I really looked forward to having this particular coat for years. Return policy makes it impossible to return for a correct coat as well. Lots of money down the drain.
[MyPilotStore Reply:  We are more than happy to exchange sizes within 30 days of delivery.  Return Policy.]

by Robert from Bartlesville OK USA 
Pros: Appearance, feel, style
Cons: Improper fit
Review: Quality, feel, appearance great. Fit is only problem. I am 5' 5", 155 lbs. Med. jacket fits girth, but jacket is too long and sleeves 2 1/2" too long. Knit cuff is completely hidden. In a suit jacket, I wear 40 short. If you had offered a Med short, it would have fit much better. The Med. I got would probably be a good fit for a man about 5' 10" and 155 lbs. I did not exchange, because I thought a small would be too small for waist & chest.

Excellent Jacket. Worth every dollar.
by A Customer from Roslyn Heights NY USA 
Cons: None
Review: The jacket is better than I imagined. Very warm in the New York cold. Order one size larger than you normally use.

Read first BEFORE considering!
by N. Rogers from Washington 
Pros: Nice collar
Cons: Sizing
Review: Does NOT run true to size, one size big actually. I had the jacket 2 days and one of the buttons ( front pocket) popped off, gone!
Not at all happy!

Tuesday, February 01, 2011
by A Customer from Chicago IL USA 
Pros: The jacket was very well-made.
Review: I purchased the Cockpit Navy G-1 jacket for my best friend. He just loved it and said it kept him very warm. His friends loved the jacket too.

I wouldn't buy this jacket again.
by Gordon from Waterville ME USA 
Pros: Great fit and construction, Nice soft leather. Side entry pockets.
Cons: Fur collar too large, no "USN" on zipper flap
Review: What I like: Great fit, very well constructed, Nice soft leather. I like the hidden side entry pockets.
What I don't like:
The fur collar too large and looks like I have an animal draped over my neck. Yes...it's removable but I originally planned on wearing the jacket with it's fur collar...like my original flight jacket. Now I can't.
I also missed the "USN" that was embossed on the inner zipper flap of the original flight jacket. I don't understand why your less expensive jacket has it and the most expensive model doesn't?!!

American Made Functional Beauty
by Chris from New Paltz NY USA 
Pros: Style, quality, comfort - U.S. MADE
Cons: Collar doesn't fold down flat on neck but might break in.
Review: This shows how good American-made can be - worth every penny for the quality of design, materials and construction. Those who shell out less on cheap imitations are missing the point. A practical classic that never goes out of style. It looks and feels great and is SO warm. My dad had an original and this really fits the bill! The hand warmer pockets are an excellent update for the non-military version. The real wool Mutton collar is the best! Top notch all the way. Glad you still offer this gem.

Friday, January 21, 2011
Loved it!
by A Customer from Southampton PA USA 
Cons: My only other preference would be goat skin leather
Review: This Navy G-1 jacket was exactly what I was looking for to replace my original jacket. It has all the original features.

Amazingly Wonderful!!!!!!
by Patricia from Corpus Christi TX USA 
Pros: Excellent workmanship,Excellent quality of leather
Cons: Side pocket opening to far aft
Review: This jacket MORE than met our expectations!! There isn't anything my husband really didn't like....except he thinks the opening of the side pockets are too far back toward the side seam (aft) He has to make a concuss effort to find the pocket opening. The zipper wants to rub and catch on the strip of leather behind the zipper,unless you realize you have to hold the zipper out for it not to do it. These two things are something he will get use to the more he wears it...which he loves to do.The jacket is heavy.  My husband says the only time he realizes HOW HEAVY is when he picks it up to put it on.....but wearing it he does not notice it. He is 6'2" and 225 lbs and the XL fit perfect!  It comes below the waist and the sleeves are long enough that when he reaches for something it doesn't ride up his arm...this is a wonderful thing because he does have long arms. Over all it is an amazing jacket and HE LOVES IT!!! It is a little darker leather than I had thought it would be but it is Beautiful. I think my husband walks with Pride when he wears it.He Loved the map inside!

Best jacket ever!
by A Customer from Kennesaw, Georgia 
Pros: Excellent fit, warm, high quality.
Cons: None so far.
Review: I received this as a Christmas present from my gorgeous wife. Slipping the jacket on for the first time felt so natural - like the jacket was made just for me. The fit and proportion were perfect. It's incredibly warm in cold weather and simply looks ruggedly handsome. I couldn't have received a better present.

Got what I paid for..."Go big or go home"
by A Customer from Riverside CA USA 
Pros: Everything is a "GO"
Cons: Nothing negative can be said. It is so nice to be able to order a product online and he 100% happy. I spent alot of money on this jacket and I got my money's worth. They delivered.
Review: This jacket more than met my expectations and I did alot of reaearch before ordering. It was my husbands big Christmas gift and he was so happy with the jacket. Originally the sheepskin collar came defective but mypilotstore.com was happy to replace it and did so in record time at no additional cost to me. These guys are true professionals. They stand behind their products.

by Jim Heilgeist from issaquah WA USA 
Pros: Just what I was looking for.
Cons: Subject to damage due to the softness off the lamb skin.
Review: I love the jacket.  It fits great, and looks even better. I do find the operation of the zipper to be a little less then smooth. If you are not careful it tends to hang up on the inside leather flap. Some zipper marks are evident. The freedom of movement due to the design is noticeable. I did get a slight tear in the surface of the leather on the RT arm as it was nicked by something sharp. Any suggestions for repair?

Best leather jacket I've ever seen or owned.
by John from Sammamish WA USA 
Pros: Quality, construction, fit, style, appearance.
Cons: None
Review: I love everything about this jacket. Instead of just being old, fat and out-of-shape, I can make believe I'm a U.S. Navy pilot!

by Jim from Issaquah Wa. 
Pros: Color and fit just right.
Cons: None
Review: It is exactly what I wanted and hoped it would be. Perfect fit!

Little bit steap in price for size and quality
by Gary from La Verne CA USA 
Pros: It is a nice looking jacket.
Review: It took a couple of jackets to finally get the right one. The 1st order was my mistake. The 2nd order was damaged. The 3rd order is so so. The sleeves are a tad long. The thread on the pocket button is unraveling. The fur collar seems a little cheap like a piece of rug or maybe dead rat. Besides that its kind of okay. I was really disappointed in all of my shipping cost I paid.

Well worth the money
by Kevin from Norwalk CT USA 
Pros: stylish and durable
Cons: none
Review: You can tell by the smell of the Jacket its authentic lambskin leather my brother described it as "butter leather". It's the warmest winter jacket I have.

I would recommend this product to my friends. It is wonderful.
by A Customer from Pueblo CO USA 
Pros: Well made and high quality. And best of all made in the USA!
Cons: The only con and it is not a big one I wanted the Map and I got the other linning and was told it was the luck of the draw, It seems like you should get exactly what you want at that price.
Review: The jacket met all of my expectations and then some. It is well made and the materials are excellent. Keep up the good work.

Excellent Quality Leather Jacket
by Richard from Churchville PA USA 
Pros: quality of construction and materials
Cons: a little pricey but worth it
Review: I am very pleased with this purchase. I wear a 42 long and this large size fits me perfectly. Great quality leather and materials. It is well worth the extra money over the Chinese copies sold in most retail stores. The removable collar is now held in place with heavy snaps . . . so it has been improved with the latest design.

by Lisa from charleston WV 
Pros: very warm, love the pockets too
Review: This is a wonderful jacket! I love it and would reccomend it to anyone. It's great for flying, or to wear for warmth. My dear husband gave this jacket to me and I love it.

"Wow, you look great honey!" "I KNOW!"
by Donna from Lake Arrowhead,CA 
Pros: Great fit, quality, and worth the money! Added plus, made is USA
Cons: Alot of women are flirting with him!!!!!
Review: Just purchased this jacket for my boyfriend. He is a motor officer for the CHP and always looks impeccable in his uniform. I was concerned that this jacket might not meet his standards. It exceeded his expectations! He loves the fit, warmth, and the softness of the leather. He is not one to show "excitement" over material things. However, his smile said it all! I for one think the jacket is absolutely beautiful and it looks great on my honey!!!

Too short. Does not go down to waist.
by Vicki from Oklahoma City OK USA 
Review: 3X is too short.  Does not go down to waist.

I would buy this product again without a second thought.
by Nick from Twin Lakes CO USA 
Pros: Wears well and looks good.
Cons: It is a bit pricey but well worth it.
Review: It more than met my expectations. Its quality and attention to detail is far above the Chinese reproductions. When wearing it in town, you know that people notice you are wearing a quality leather jacket. It catches the eye and demands attention.

Great Jacket, comfortable
by The Wood Man from Ashton Il. 
Pros: Comfortable, and great looking jacket,
Cons: No big deal but could live without the picture of a map on the inside liner.
Review: Today when I left home it was 46 degrees out. It warmed up to 57 later in the day. And I've got to tell you this jacket was the best. I've been riding in Northern Ill. for 32 years. And have had a few leather jackets. And for a cool weather riding,this one was the best. Very comfortable for my all day ride. Even was great to wear when off the bike. Looking forward now to keep on riding into November. Being in Northern Illinois a lot of our riding is in not so good weather. Its good to know that I have a good weather gear to wear, and this jacket is on the front line of my gear. Great jacket.

nice jacket but a lot of $
by Kent Magnuson from Kearney,NE 
Pros: fit and overall quality
Cons: high price
Review: These are nice, but you can have one custom-made for less money.

Absolutely beautiful
by Scott from Willows, CA 
Pros: Leather, fit
Cons: Cuffs
Review: This jacket was exactly what I had hoped for when ordering...and it got to me lightning-fast! The leather is so soft and supple it seems as if I've been wearing it for years. I bought it as a motorcycle jacket and am thrilled at how the jacket "moves" with me and doesn't pull and tug when my arms are outstretched. My only complaint, if you could call it that, is that the cuffs are not as tight around my wrist as I would like. I plan to have some wide elastic sewn into them.

excellent jacket
by David from N Huntingdon PA USA 
Pros: Overall quality of the jacket and excellent customer service.
Cons: elastic hoop connectors around buttons for the sherling collar.
Review: Great jacket, just what I was looking for. Unable to find anywhere near this quality in retail stores. The original size I ordered was a little too tight so I exchanged it and received excellent customer service. The sherling collar is very warm and soft and is removable. The one and only con is that the collar is attached with elastic hoops which go around buttons and at least one or two hoops seem to always need to be reattached around the button when putting the jacket back on. Definitely recommend this product.

Review: My Husband loves his new jacket and wears is ALL the time!

by Katrina from College Station TX 
Review: Gorgeous jacket. I got this for my sig other and my only concern was it having "The Cockpit" logo on the chest of the jacket. But I was plesantly suprised when I recieved the jacket and the patch was not sewn on but instead loose in a pocket for optional attachment. The inside map is a beautiful addition. I was very hesitant to order a $400 jacket, but this was WELL worth it and looks like it'll last forever. He never takes it off!!! Thanks!

Just Like What I Used To Wear
by John a Retired Marine Fighter Pilot from Newport Beach, CA 
Pros: As Indicated
Cons: None
Review: Both my father and I wore one of these jackets for many years. The only reason I even considered looking at the G-1 remake is that our 40's version finally wore out. This is an incredible replacement with updates that really improve the design and function. 5 Stars for a great product!

My husband loved it!
by nancy from farmington NY USA 
Pros: The leather
Cons: The collar
Review: The leather was nice. I loved the lineing. The "fur" collar was lacking in style and taste yet my husband thought it was great.

Close to authentic
by William from Escondido CA USA 
Pros: Authentic look and feel.
Cons: Too heavy compared to what I remember.
Review: My father and I both had leather jackets during service and although the appearance and function of the jacket is as we remembered them, this jacket was considerably more heavy than the ones we wore. I like it and will keep it for trips to the mountains, but it is too heavy to wear in San Diego.

Friday, February 09, 2007
by Randy from Oshkosh, WI  
Pros: Style
Review: I was hesitant to buy an expensive leather coat over the internet from a company I had no experience with. Happily, the coat was even better than I had hoped. The map inside it was an unexpected surprise. I am very pleased and thus far it is wearing quite well.
