    G-1 ordered

    I was set to order from them as I like their jacket...bought their A-2 about 2 1/2 years ago. They never responded to my questions on G-1 sizing, not once. And that was after three phone calls speaking with their sales people in person. Go figure! They said they would call back, or send an...

    G-1 ordered

    Just ordered a Cockpit G-1. Had their A-2, was impressed with overall fit and quality. Was going to order from G&B, but after three phone calls, and several promises for measurement info on their G-1, and absolutely no follow up from them, decided to go with Cockpit. I think the fit will be...

    Looking to buy an A-2 jacket, opinions...

    Sleeve measurement is from the center of the collar, down to the shoulder seam, down to the elbow, then all the way to the end of the knitted cuff. Just like a dress shirt. This would explain the 37" sleeve in question.

    Looking to buy an A-2 jacket, opinions...

    There is a reason why so many manufacturers have added these extra pockets. Having jackets with both styles, the extra side pocket is a winner for me (and many others).

    Looking to buy an A-2 jacket, opinions...

    I would suggest buying two jackets in different sizes, then keep the one that fits best. I did this with my G&B A-2, bought a 42 and a 44. Kept the 42.

    G-1, USA Made, $175

    Is that a Cockpit USA G-1? The fit looks to be spot on! Are they cut small? As I wear a 40R, would their 40R fit me?

    Problem is looking for a "beater", but that jacket is in a class that would preclude me from treating it like a "beater"...Ha!

    Actually, the Alpha is kinda nice for a beater. Got a couple old Wilsons Leather jackets that fill that roll pretty good. Wad 'em up, pack 'em in whatever, and throw them on.

    The USW G-1 is a SUPERB jacket. On par with my G&B. Super soft goatskin, great collar...and it is heavy!

    Funny, USWings claims they are the supplier to the US Coast Guard for G-1's.

    Sleeve shortening on a G-1?

    I called Gibson & Barnes to inquire about the sleeve length on their G-1's. Amanda told me that on their 40R, the sleeve measures 33". That is measured from the center of the collar to the shoulder, down to the elbow, then down to the beginning of the cuff (cuff not measured). This would put my...
