    Cockpit USA Navy Carrier Pilot's G-1 Jacket

    Does anyone have any opinions and/or experience with Cockpit USA’s Navy Carrier Pilot's G-1 Jacket? I think they used to call this their Forrestal G-1. I have their 100 Mission G-1 (their fur collar version of this), Mil-spec G-1, Top Gun G-1, and 21st Century USAF A-2 jackets. I also have an...

    Legendary USA trust or not

    Hi guys, Please, advise. Legendary USA gives good discounts on flight jackets but almost everything they have is back-ordered. So if I order Cockpit, they will order from Cockpit and wait until they produce it. The money has to be paid from the start. According to your experience, are they...

    Cockpit U.S.A. AN-J-4 Jacket

    Hi guys! New to the forum, but for the last number of months I've been looking for 'the one' shearling jacket that I'll have for life and I think I've found it. The Cockpit U.S.A. AN-J-4 (link). Only thing I'd have them change (if possible) is maybe going with a silver zipper instead of gold...

    B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket - Schott vs Cockpit?

    Both of these look awesome, but given the current crisis, I won't be able to go to NYC to try them on for quite some time. Does anyone have the ability to compare and contrast these two jackets? Which is more authentic? Is one higher quality than the other? Do they fit differently?

    Leather Pea Coats - Schott vs Cockpit?

    Any thoughts here? I am new to the Fedora Lounge and really love the site so far. Unfortunately, I live in an area that trying either of these coats is unlikely. I believe both companies make quality leather jackets (I own a Cockpit A2 and a Schott Perfecto), but am not sure who makes the...

    Does Aero make the most `Period-Correct' B-3 Jacket?

    I'm looking for the most `period-correct' B-3 jacket that I can possibly find. Reason: my grandfather flew a B-24 in the second World War out of Horsham St. Faith (458th Bomb Group, 755th Bomb Squadron) and was shot down over Boppard, Germany before being transferred to Stalag Luft 3. I'd like...

    Cockpit USA Flying Tigers A-2 Jacket

    Anyone have any experience with this A-2? I was thinking about pulling the trigger on this eventually, but not so sure about the fit and quality of their HH offerings. I currently have their USAF Modern A-2 in a size 42, but I think I will be selling that one soon as it fits too baggy and likely...

    FS: Cockpit USA A-2 Size 42 1987 Reissue

    For sale is my go-to beater, a Cockpit USA A-2 jacket size 42 Reissue style. Comes with tags. Fits up to a 44'' chest but is ideal for 42'' or smaller. Nice cut and looks very authentic. I have owned it for 2 years but after careful consideration, I decided to only keep my AVI G1 jacket as my...
