US Navy Issue Mil Spec Type G-1 Jacket


Since 1938 the G-1 flight jacket has been regulation issue gear to pilots of the United States Navy. The G-1 is also worn by members of the USMC and US Coast Guard. This leather flight jacket has been worn by Navy and Marine Corps flight crews during the most heroic air battles in history. 

This jacket, made of 100% Military Spec goatskin, features:

  • US Navy pattern
  • Bi-swing back
  • A genuine silky lambs wool shearling mouton fur collar like the WWII era jackets (instead of the current government spec synthetic acrylic collar)
  • Knit cuffs and waistband
  • Top entry front flap pockets
  • Full zip front wind flap
  • Under arm grommets
  • An inside chest pocket with nylon lining
  • Proudly made in the U.S.A. since 1975.

We also offer a modern version of the original G-1 Jacket as well as a Top Gun G-1 Leather Jacket with patches.

Sizes:
We recommend that you order one size larger than your normal size for a roomier fit as this is a Mil. Spec. size garment. For those who prefer the true to size fit, order your actual size.  The sizes are standard men's coat sizes.  Generally speaking, Small is 38-40, Medium is 40-42, Large is 42-44, and XL is 46-48, and XXL is 50-52. Please note that sizes 48 and higher are slightly more expensive (price shown in cart).

Jacket Size Chart

For an accurate measurement, you'll need a flexible tape measure (inches) and someone to help you place and read the measuring tape.  Measure the biggest circumference around the chest and keep the measuring tape horizontal, wrap around the biggest girth of the chest, keeping the measuring tape up and close to the arm pits.

Lots of Bang - it took years from my old age!
by chuck "matt" mathews from Brandon MS USA 

Pros: Everything
Cons: There are none
Review: This flight jacket is just as I remember mine in the early 50's. It has reduced the age that I feel and has put a bounce back in my step. I ordered it a bit large so that I don't have to hold my "belly" in so much. Memories can't be purchased so there is no problem with the price. I really do love the jacket. It has been in the 70's here in Mississippi this Jan. but I've managed to wear it with the aircondition on low. Smile!

Authentic Navy G1
by girlpilot from Saint Louis MO USA 

Pros: authentic, quality, size, appearance
Review: I bought this jacket as a gift for a Viet Nam-era naval aviator. He loved it - fits perfectly, has all the features he remembered from his Navy issue jacket right down to having U S Navy stamped under the zipper. Detailing appears to be authentic. The leather is substantial but supple so he can move freely in it. He had a friend transfer his squadron patches to it and is very pleased with how it looks and wears.

Great Jacket, Just Like the Standard Navy Issue
by A Customer from FL USA 

Pros: Fantastic quality, gorgeous jacket, just like the Navy issued jacket, great customer service, prompt shipping
Cons: none
Review: This is a stunning jacket, and is identical to the one my husband was issued. His was stolen last year out of my car, and this is the one we replaced it with after reading several of the reviews above. My husband and I both think it is actually a couple of steps up from the standard-issue jacket-- the collar is real fur (I think his first jacket was synthetic fur) and the stitching appears to be superior as well. As far as sizing is concerned, this is a jacket that fits a bit more snuggly, so if you're between sizes, definitely go up to the larger size.

My Pilot Store was awesome about sending it the same day I ordered even though it was past the cutoff time. Thanks for such a great transaction and a beautiful product!

by Tom from Watertown WI USA 
Pros: Attention to detail/craftsmanship of the jacket.
Cons: None that I can think of.
Review: Jacket is what I had expected - just like the original - weight - feel etc. Same as my original - that I outgrew - in hindsight - wished I had ordered pockets with a side entry - I can live with it though. The goatskin leather is superb - has that feel. A very well made jacket. Especially like the deep inside pocket.

Just what I wanted and expected.
by John from Westerville OH USA 

Review: Size was spot on. Fit and finish was as it should be. A tuly Great and comfortable jacket. Wanted one for more years than I care to admit. Wouldn't settle for a knock-off. Surprised it was a much better bargan than the So-Called name brand replicas! Can't believe how warm it really is.
Semper Fi!

Perfect fit!
by Susan from Indianapolis IN USA 

Pros: Great quality and fit.
Cons: None
Review: Bought this G-1 flight jacket for my dad for Christmas. He is 5'7" and weighs 150lb. I bought the size 40 for him and it fits perfectly - that is, a more form-fitting fit, but by no means snug or tight. He has room to weat a sweater underneath or a turtleneck. Not too big and not too small. Just right! He loves it.

Great jacket!
by jack from colton CA USA 

Review: I wasn't sure this jacket would be worth the money,but once it got here I was very impressed. It is as good a quality as my issued jacket from many years ago, and the tip to order one size larger was right on. Thanks great product and customer service.

by A Customer from pinehurst NC USA 
Review: Just like the one I wore 60 years ago.

Great Jacket!
by Paul from St. Paul MN USA 

Pros: High quality jacket
Review: This jacket is very nice and I'm very happy with it. The only thing different from a Navy-issue jacket that I can see is the tag on the inside. It arrived in about a week.
Great job!

Happy Husband!!!
by Laurie from Virginia Beach VA USA 

Pros: Excellent customer service!!!
Cons: No velcro patches like the Navy issue ones...
Review: My husband couldn't wear his Navy issue leather flight jacket any more because pieces of it were worn out (holes init) and he really missed it! I found this one on-line and matched it up with what was left of his old one and it is pretty close to identical. I ordered it for him for a birthday present and he was VERY HAPPY to have a leather aviators jacket again. I followed the advise of others who had ordered and went up a size and it was perfect for him.

This jacket is the real McCoy
by SgtMaj. (ret) from Garden Grove CA USA 

Pros: It fits perfectly. The materials and workmanship are top quality.
Cons: If If you want a treasure map lining and a place to stuff your hands this is not for you.
Review: I was hesitant to spend $400 on a jacket without seeing it and trying it on. When I received this one and pulled it from the package my doubts vanished. It is the real thing. I feel qualified to judge having spent half of my thirty years in the Corps in aviation units.

My issue jacket always seemed too short for my orangutan arms so I ordered a long. I have put my ID and squadron patch on with velcro. When they are removed the remaining velcro is barely visible on the dark leather and the jacket looks quite conservative.

Good as my Original
by Gene from Lancaster CA USA 

Pros: No problems whatsoever.
Cons: None
Review: Very, very good. My original flight jacket somehow got smaller. I believe the new one as at least as good or better than the gov't issue. It arrived only a day or two after the order was placed.

Monday, March 28, 2011
by John from Pasadena CA USA 
Review: Very satisfied with the jacket. My previous one was from the Navy's contract manufacturer, back when they still made 'em of goatskin with genuine sheep fur collars, and yours seems to be as good or better.

Excellent jacket
by TACCO Paul from Honolulu, HI USA 

Pros: Warm jacket and identical to the original; even the pros won't tell the difference.
Cons: Just one pocket button is unravelling.
Review: After losing my jacket in flight school, I went without one for a long time because the Navy's supply system is so skimpy in replacing them. The jacket I recieved from this store is identical to the original and I wear it to the squadron often. The fit was perfect for the size I ordered. The leather is high quality and the brass zipper is big enough to operate even while wearing flight gloves. However, the button on the left pocket has begun to unravel in just a few weeks of use, but it'll be an easy fix to sew back on.

excellent replica
by Frank from The Villages FL USA 

Review: A velcro patch would be a big plus so that we could attach our aviator patch to the jacket.

Sunday, February 20, 2011
A wish fulfilled!
by Nancy Ellen from farmington NM USA 

Review: The jacket looked exactly right. The fit was perfect. The only change would be to the pockets. They need to have a separate entrance from the back not just from the top. Not quite as heavy as remembered.

Saturday, February 19, 2011
by David from Chesapeake VA USA 
Pros: just like the one we were issued in the Navy
Review: Very good jacket and just like the one I had in the Navy.Thank you for producing such a quality Product.

Review: I am very pleased with my FLIGHT JACKET.
Thank you for your service.

I'm satisfied
by A Customer from Cedar City UT USA 

Pros: Sturdy zipper and map pocket snap -- better than others I've seen
Cons: Hanging loop is just sewn to the lining -- better if sewn through the leather
Review: Authentic Navy issue styling... no handwarmer pockets (knockoff jackets have them, I didn't want them). The advice to order a bit on the large size is good. I normally wear a 44 -- ordered a 46 and it fits just right. Quality materials and construction. For some reason the collar tends to roll up -- ok if you want to keep the back of your neck warm.

Tuesday, May 04, 2010
by A Customer from Visalia CA USA 
Pros: The color was nicer than the picture.
Cons: None
Review: We ordered this in a 44 (suit size) but it was just a bit too snug. Exchanged it for a 46. It was perfect. The exchange went very smoothly.

by Michael from San Leandro CA USA

Cons: the color couldbe lighter
Review: Good copy of navy issue jacket.

I'm 23 years old again!
by Richard from Memphis TN USA 

Review: My old Navy flight jacket is 57 years old. Size 42. It fit great in 1952 and 1953. My new one, size 50, however, fits alot better today. I removed my squadron and carrier patches from the old one and I will have them sewn on my new one. The new one is the same as the great product that was issued to me as a Naval Aviator. A top product. Thanks for being there.

Exactly what I was looking for - but never hoped to find
by A Customer from Sturbridge MA USA 

Pros: Very warm, good workmanship, American made
Review: The jacket is just what I wanted - exactly the same as the one my CG chief gave me 30 years ago which was unfortunately lost in an auto accident.

The jacket is exceptional!
by A Customer from Neptune NJ USA 

Pros: Jacket is awesome.
Cons: Need it in a size smaller!!!!! Size 38 is too big.
Review: The product was exceptional. Unfortunately, it is too big. I ordered a size small (size 38). It will be two seasons before it fits my son but he liked the jacket so much he won't let me return it.

Delightfully surprised
by mary jane nash from alexandria, va. 

Pros: User friendly website, quick delivery
Cons: none
Review: The jacket I purchased looked even better in person. I was especially pleased with the quality and workmanship of the jacket. The online description was right on and as suggested I ordered one size larger. It was a perfect fit for my dad who was just thrilled with his 85th birthday present. I matched it up against my husband's own U.S. Navy issued flight jacket and was amazed at how every detail was duplicated. Good job!
