During WWll, the "battle worn" look of a pilot's jacket reflected his bravery and it became one of his most prized possessions. The leather in our 100 Mission jacket is vintage lambskin with natural graining and surface characters which may look like irregularities but are not. Though they are not overly "worn-in" when new, they age very well and look better and better as time goes on. These irregularities give each jacket a unique style and glory. As you wear it, the color will lighten and the leather will take on added texture giving it a more vintage look. It has Mil. Spec. A-2 detailing with no fiberfill or bulky insulation which makes this jacket perfect for all season wear and excellent for Southern climates. Features a woven equipment label in the lining, side entry hand warmer pockets and an interior pocket for wallet, MP3 or other accessories. 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!
