Details

The G-1 was introduced into service in late 1930s as the official flight jacket of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corp flyers. The bi-swing pleat in the shoulder (which extends down the back to a belted waist) and double gussets under each arm provided for ease of movement in places which had notoriously small cockpits (as well as provided the movment to swim, if needed..). Our jacket faithfully reproduces the two large front, button flap pockets, with radiused lower corners and a gently curved flap. The same merino lamb mouton fur collar (with button closure flap and white "USN" stamp on the jacket's under-collar), zipper wind-flap with "USN" perforation and 100% rayon lining will keep you warm in the air or on the ground.

The stock jacket is made in seal brown goatskin, seal brown mouton fur collar, and has double entry front pockets. If you prefer a single entry pocket (military spec.) just let us know in the instruction box during check out and we will take care of it at no extra charge.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic jacket Review by RLeunis: I got two of them. One in a size 36 to have a military fit (if you wear a size S, even quite small) and the other one in a size 38 has been customised (shorter sleeves, no perforation on the wind flap, and no printing on the colar).
They look very sharp, good quality leather, and got an immaculate service from the store.
They offer an A class product for a better price then the competition. I will certainly buy again. (Posted on 2/12/12)
Absolutely the Best Jacket I have ever owned!!! Review by Richie: This G-1 Jacket is hands down the best and most comfertable jacket I have ever owned. This jacket is absolutly perfect in every way. I am more comfertable with this thing on then without it. Just the way it fits and allows your arms to swing is perfect, no constriction at all. the leather is so soft and supple it is just so cozy to have on your body and the wool collor just feels so good around your neck. Oh yah and it also has a ton of pockets on and in it, as well as a pen pocket. too cool! I have bought the R.A.F. Jacket, the g-1 Jacket and the B-6 Jacket from this company. If you are looking for the best qaulity and craftsmanship and materials then flightjacket.com is the place to buy your jacket from. yah the prices are high but totally worth it. And the best part is you will have a custom made jacket of the highest quality while everyone else will be wearing some stupid cookie cutter crap that they bought at the mall. (Posted on 2/1/12)
Fantastic Review by James: I ordered this jacket for my husband. Not only is the quality excellent, but the service is superb. I was assisted by a very friendly represented as there was a glitch in the on line ordering process at the time I was making my order. It was resolved, I received the jacket in record time and my husband is thrilled. Thank You!!! (Posted on 12/8/11)
