Why choose the G-1 Cockpit USA jacket?
We choose this model for its unrivaled authenticity. More than a simple leather garment, this bomber (or "flight jacket") has spanned the decades without losing its elegance. Its calfskin leather construction gives it a unique patina that becomes more beautiful over time, while guaranteeing excellent protection against the wind. It is the centerpiece of a men’s wardrobe with character.
Laura’s opinion:
"The detail that makes the difference on this G-1 is the perfect balance between its raw look and the care given to the interior finishes. I recommend wearing it with raw jeans and leather ankle boots for a strong heritage style. Its goat leather is surprisingly supple from the first try, which makes it very pleasant to wear immediately."
FAQ:
What is the thermal capacity of this jacket? The G-1 is designed for mid-season and winter thanks to its ribbed edges that block the passage of air and its dense leather.
How to maintain calfskin? A gentle cleansing milk and a nourishing cream applied once or twice a year are enough to preserve its suppleness and patina.
Is the fur collar removable? On the authentic G-1 model, the sheep collar is generally fixed to comply with historical specifications.
Which size should I choose for this American model? The Cockpit USA cut is faithful to American standards; if you are hesitating between two sizes, we often recommend the smaller size for a more fitted fit.
Is this leather resistant to rain? Calfskin is naturally resistant, but it is advisable to waterproof it regularly and let it dry away from a heat source in the event of a downpour.
