Naval Aviators are often considered to be the finest of military flyers. Their G-1 flight jackets have always identified them as members of an elite group. Now you have the opportunity to own one of these authentic G-1s through US Wings! We believe our US Wings-labeled Signature Series™* G-1s are the finest G-1s available... and we think you'll agree!
*Beware of inferior imitations being sold by others. Inexpensive imported leather jackets found in department or discount stores and overpriced imported "designer labeled" leather jackets found in boutiques are often inferior in construction and materials. All US Wings Signature Series™ leather jackets are made from the highest quality Grade "A" leather, constructed to US Military specs or better. In addition, you can feel good about wearing a quality garment that was handcrafted in the USA. The genuine USA-made Signature Series™ line is ONLY available online through our website or from our Retail Pilot Shop in Stow, OH.

AVG Flying Tiger Goatskin G-1
|
click images to enlarge
(will open in a new window) |
|
The AVG Flying Tigers were comprised of active-duty Army, Navy and Marine Corps pilots who volunteered to fight for China as civilians. As civilians, they were not issued US Military uniforms or flight jackets and were outfitted with G-1-type jackets and khakis by the Chinese government. Although the originally issued jackets were the predecessors of the G-1, our current-issue US Navy G-1 is very close. After the AVG was absorbed into the AAF, A-2 jackets were also worn but the G-1-style was the original Flying Tiger's jacket.
Our US Wings Signature Series™ G-1 is proudly made in the USA according to US Navy specifications. Features include: goatskin shell, poly-twill lining, genuine mouton fur collar, bi-swing back and underarm gussets for freedom of movement, button-thru patch pockets (with hidden pen pocket under left pocket flap), inside map pocket, brass zipper, knit cuffs and waistband, and inside storm flap with USN perforation.
Our Flying Tigers G-1 features four authentic leather patches: a leather AVG patch on the right chest, a multi-piece leather CBI (China-Burma-India) patch on the left sleeve, and a multi-piece leather blood chit on the back come standard on all jackets. You then choose a leather AVG squadron patch for the left chest (see below; click image to see a more detailed pic): Adam & Eve (1st Pursuit Squadron, shown at left), Panda Bears (2nd Pursuit Squadron) or Hell's Angels (3rd Pursuit Squadron).
Fit: Military (click for info)
Now you can own a US Wings Flying Tigers G-1 similar to the one created for AVG fighter ace Dick Rossi, which can now be seen at the Flying Tigers Museum in Zhijiang, China (read about it here). Available in sizes 34-54 Regular and 40-54 Long. Made in the USA.
This is a special-order item. All sales are final. No returns or exchanges. Please be sure of your size before ordering. If you have sizing questions, please email us. Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery.

"Wings of Gold" Antique Lamb G-1
|
  
Click images to enlarge
(images will open in new window) |
|
Our "Wings of Gold" Antique Lambskin G-1 is a tribute to all Navy and Marine Corps aviators, past and present. This outstanding G-1 is the result of months of development by Sgt. David Hack (CEO of US Wings) and we're proud to offer it to our customers. The centerpiece of this G-1 is its satin lining, which features the naval aviator's gold wings and "Wings of Gold" beautifully embroidered directly onto the lining, along with a silkscreened image of a WWII aircraft carrier's flight deck accompanied by a brief essay on what it takes to become a naval aviator. The jacket's antiqued lambskin leather is also special. It's substantial (unlike the paper-thin lambskin found on many department store jackets), it's very soft & supple, and the antiquing process gives this jacket a subtle and natural-looking aged appearance which will only look better over time.
Other features include a chocolate brown detachable fur collar (similar to the color of the WWII M-422's fur collar -- the predecessor to the G-1), two front cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers and a hidden pen slot under the left pocket flap, bi-swing back for freedom of movement, full cut fit for comfort, inside storm flap, two leather-trimmed interior pockets, polyfil insulation, and a heavy-duty antiqued brass zipper.
Looks great when dressed up with your favorite patches or wear it as is. The quality and suppleness of the leather and the caliber of construction rivals our Signature Series™ VIP jackets. This jacket, like the naval aviators who inspired it, is simply the best of the best and is perfect for anyone who desires a "high end" G-1. Available exclusively from US Wings.

The Cockpit® Top Gun G-1
|
  
  
Click images to enlarge
(images will open in new window) |
|
 This is the classic Cockpit® Top Gun G-1, similar to the ones worn by the Navy's best of the best! Like any proper "Top Gun" jacket, this one features a variety of naval patches, including a special 9" x 11.5" pieced leather blood chit on the jacket's back (the red stripes, blue field, and anchor are individual pieces of leather sewn onto the leather chit). This updated G-1 has all the standard G-1 features, but also adds a few not found on US Navy-issued G-1s, like a removeable chocolate brown fur collar, two front cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, two interior leather trimmed pockets, satin WWII escape map lining, polyfil insulation for warmth, and a roomy full-cut fit. Also features a pen slot under left pocket flap, inside wind flap, bi-swing back for freedom of movement, knit cuffs and waistband, and antiqued brass zipper. The jacket's shell is made from soft and supple antique lambskin leather, which feels like an old friend from day one. The antique lambskin will further distress the more you wear it, giving you that desirable "battle worn" look and adding even more character to the jacket. This is truly an outstanding jacket! Made in the USA.

The Cockpit® Vintage Goatskin G-1
[With Patches]
|
click images to see detail
(will open in a new window) |
|
This outstanding Cockpit® jacket is a superb reproduction of a 1950s Korean War-era US Navy G-1, and each jacket is individually hand-distressed for an authentic "aged" look. Generally, the finish on new military-issue goatskin G-1s was quite durable and did not distress rapidly with wear (unlike the finish on many contemporary lambskin jackets). Accordingly, the distressing on this jacket is very subtle -- just a hint of wear along the waistband & cuffs and along various seams -- which adds that slight patina of age that an actual vintage G-1 would have. In addition, the goatskin leather has that supple "broken-in" feel of a truly veteran jacket!
The fur collar is a genuine '50s-era collar in the same medium brown color as the collars on the WWII M422s and early G-1s. Other authentic features include the genuine '50s-era bidirectional single-ply waistband, extra-long double-ply cuffs, a narrow wind flap with "USN" perforation, underarm gussets and bi-swing back for freedom of movement, heavy-duty zipper, two front cargo pockets featuring the correct '50s-era pocket flaps (which had a more "pointed" bottom edge, unlike the more rectangular-shaped flaps of later G-1s), an inside map pocket, and a nylon lining. In keeping with military authenticity, there are no side-entry handwarmer pockets and the fit is military (not full-cut or oversized).
There are also nine original patches (2 in front, one on each sleeve, and 5 on the back) that trace the career of a naval aviator during the 1950s and include Heavy Attack Wing 2 (whose motto translates to: "We will find a way, or we will make one"), VAH-2 Sky Warriors (a USN A-3 Heavy Attack Squadron; the "M" on the "tori" gate indicates Detachment M), Task Force 77 USS Ticonderoga (TF77 is the carrier strike force of the US 7th Fleet), HATRON TWO ("Heavy ATtack squadRON TWO" -- Det M of VAH-2 operated off the USS Ticonderoga from Sept '57-Apr '58), Task Force 77 USS Philippine Sea (CVA-47 was the flagship of TF77 during the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950), VC-6 "Fleurs" (a composite squadron formed in 1950, it was redesignated VAH-6 in '56 and transitioned to Skywarriors in '58), and a US Seventh Fleet patch (whose motto is "Ready Power For Peace").
This is one of the finest jackets we've seen and is a true collector's item. The level of authenticity, craftsmanship and attention to detail in this American-made G-1 is outstanding and you're guaranteed to turn heads whenever you wear it! Made in the USA.

The Cockpit® Vintage Goatskin G-1
[Without Patches]
|
click images to see detail
(will open in a new window) |
|
We also offer The Cockpit® Vintage Goatskin G-1 without patches. This jacket is styled like the earlier M422s/G-1s from WWII, Korea and late-60s Vietnam. The jackets are individually hand-distressed for that authentic "aged" look and features a vintage medium brown collar, vintage bidirectional single-ply waistband, extra-long double-ply cuffs, a narrow wind flap with "USN" perforation, underarm gussets and bi-swing back for freedom of movement, heavy-duty zipper, two front cargo pockets featuring the correct vintage-style pocket flaps, an inside map pocket, and a nylon lining. In keeping with military authenticity, there are no side-entry handwarmer pockets and the fit is military (not full-cut or oversized).
This G-1 is a great "blank canvas" for adding your own USN or USMC patches (especially original vintage patches*), or wear it as is. Either way, this authentic American-made vintage-style jacket is one of the finest we've seen and one you'll be proud to be seen in! Made in the USA.
*Many customers who've purchased this jacket have an authentic vintage G-1 (either from their own service days or one that was handed down to them from a loved one) which no longer fits. They remove the patches from their original G-1 and sew them onto this jacket, creating a "new original" with the same vintage look as their old original.
