The jacket General MacArthur chose to wear. In 1930 it was approved for issue to pilots. The original specs. called for horsehide. Today, we are able to supply military grade horsehide. It's as tough as nails and you'll notice the natural creases, folds and surface graining. These are natural conditions and not flaws in the processing of the garment. Details include top entry pockets with snap close flap, knit cuffs and waistbands, brass zipper under front storm flap, snap down collar with eye and hook closure, leather epaulets, underarm grommets for ventilation and a cotton lining. If you want your jacket true to size order your regular size. If you want a roomier fit, order one size larger. Proudly made in the U.S.A.

THE COCKPIT
USA STORY
The unique character of Cockpit USA jackets begins when you enter the Cockpit and take control...no substitutes accepted, only perfection.
The Cockpit Collection is designed by Jeff Clyman, founder of Avirex Ltd. in 1975. The collection includes flight jackets that made him famous while flying Air Force fighters and vintage aircraft which are now part of The American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport in New York.
The collection spans the best of WW II flyer's jackets, styled in every detail like the originals. Just as Avirex set the standard for authentic flight jackets in the 1970's and 1980's, the new Cockpit USA line by Jeff Clyman sets the new standard for quality, genuine military specs and long-wearing, comfortable jackets. The entire collection is reminiscent of the days when life appeared simpler, where the lines between good and evil were clearly defined - When we knew who the enemy was. The Cockpit Collection - historically poetic!
