Love it

  • By Big Mac from Fairfax, VA on Wednesday, November 23, 2022
  • Pros: None come to mind
  • Review: The jacket I received was identical in materials and construction to the one I was issued in 1979 and subsequently loved to death. I just took my patch’s off the old one and nailed them to the new one. I wear it with pride.

Not disappointed!!....... 2nd Cockpit USA Flight Jacket

  • By Mike Conover from Suburban Chicago on Friday, November 11, 2022
  • Pros: Great detail, great fit, great look...I'm a very happy camper....
  • Review: Earlier this year, I purchased the 21st Century A2 Jacket, which fit perfectly in 54 Long. Call me crazy, but I wanted the "matching" Navy G1, also in 54 Long. Fits great, not loose, but fits around my mid section perfectly. Plenty of sleeve length. As with the A2, the construction detail is fabulous, went over every inch of it and not a stitch out of place. The zippers need to be broken in, but that's it....

    Strongly recommend this and the A2 as well!!!!!!!

G-1 Flight jacket

  • By Gunner from Edenton NC USA on Wednesday, May 18, 2022
  • Pros:
  • Review: I loved my Flight Jacket. But by about 1990 (Retired in 1983) it had shrunk (LOL), so I gave it my son. Now it's 32 years later and I saw your web site. Bingo. It looks great it. It feels great, it fits well. Ask me again in Nov - won't be wearing it until than. It's warm in NC this time of the year.

Just like my original from the US Navy!!!

  • By Christopher "Sonic" Cline from North Bend, OR on Tuesday, April 26, 2022
  • Pros: Real Mouton Sheep Fur Collar, genuine Goatskin leather, fits very well, absolutely accurate in details to my original Navy issue jacket, beautiful stitching and high quality materials and a lot of nice touches in "presentation", even coming with a hanger with an extended hook to allow for the high collar.
  • Review: I joined the U.S. Navy back in 1989 and am a Gulf War Veteran (Operation Desert Shield/Storm). My original Navy G-1 jacket was one of the items which was lost (stolen?!) from my belongings when they were shipped home by the Navy when I transferred from active to reserves. I have wanted to replace the original jacket ever since.
    I did quite a bit of research and pricing and read many, many reviews, trying to determine the best quality, most authentic jacket for the price. I decided on this jacket. The jacket is just beautiful, with high quality goatskin leather and a real mouton sheep fur collar. All the colors, the dark brown leather, the brown mouton collar, brown waistband and wristbands and the brown lining are exactly right. It is extremely comfortable to wear. Sizing seems correct.
    I give a 5 Star rating to Cockpit, USA for manufacturing an incredible jacket! It lives up to expectations, is exactly like the one I got when I was in the Navy and their attention to detail is superb, with a lot of nice touches too!
    I absolutely recommend the Cockpit, USA "US Navy Issue Mil Spec Type G-1 Jacket" to anyone who wants to replace their lost Navy issue G-1 or simply replace one that no longer fits, but also to those who just want a high quality, genuine G-1 jacket at a reasonable price! This jacket is the REAL DEAL!
    I have created an unboxing/review video and posted it on my channel on YouTube and seen below.

The Real Thing!

  • By Daniel from Sun City CA USA on Monday, April 25, 2022
  • Pros: Genuine design and materials, quick shipment.
  • Review: This is the real jacket, just like the one I was issued in 1971. Goatskin, mouton collar. I think the leather is a bit smoother and shinier than the original, is all. Nice and thick, though. The stretchy waist and cuffs seem more durable than the old one.
    Quick fulfillment of the order, too.
    I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a jacket faithful to the original design.
