Leather flight jackets are almost old as aviation. No garments evoke what flight jackets do. These venerable jackets are prized possessions of veterans, and modern replicas are popular fashion item today. The Air Force's A2 was worn by Air Force fighter and bomber crews alike, including early legends like the Flying Tigers and Doolittle's Raiders to such postwar heroes as Chuck Yeager, The Navy's own leather jacket the G-1, has remained in active service almost continuosly since the late 1930s.

COCKPIT USA
Avirex/Cockpit
In 1942 a small workshop in Long Island obtains the first exclusive licence to produce leather jackets for U.S. Air Force and for decades supplies the U.S. Air Force under the label "Avirex". In a short time the company starts again to produce the famous "Bomber" weared during the WWII and the company decides to sell these products on the civilian market. Avirex made the most popular jacket of ever, the G-1 Top Gun. In 2006 all Avirex branded military and classic apparel was discontinued and transferred to a new Clymans company, Cockpit USA. All Avirex-branded flight jackets have been discontinued, although the same jackets are now available under Cockpit USA® brand.

SCHOTT
Schott Nyc
In 1913, two brothers, Irving and Jack Schott started making raincoats. In 1928, nearly 40 years before Harley Davidson would create their own, Irving Schott designed and produced the first leather motorcycle jacket. Commissioned by the US Army Air Corps at the start of WWII, Irving Schott designed and produced a "bomber jacket" that would serve and protect Our Boys as they fought for liberty in the air over Europe and the Pacific. Rugged and warm, these leather and wool jackets would be produced by Schott for the US Military for the next 60 years.
