    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    I can't believe this thread is still going! I haven't logged on in years and I was surprised to see it.

    1930 Navy Deck Boots

    Boondockers! Beautiful work, they look great and exactly like the original. I was issued a pair of these when I first joined the Navy in the 90s. They were not much for arch or ankle support, but they worked for their intended use. About a year later I was issued the updated version, which...

    WW2 A2 JACKET

    No, it was not unusual. However, that nametag looks suspect. It looks a little too new and in good condition to be original.

    Cockpit 100 Mission G-1

    I thought the same thing when I e-mailed about a computer bag I purchased several years ago at their store in NYC. She replied to me personally about it. Not only was the original e-mail from her, but all of the follow up e-mails and she was friendly when I phoned.

    Cockpit 100 Mission G-1

    Seems as though we have had the same experience, I have found the same thing. I hope I changed a few minds a week ago when I gave a brief on the history of the leather flight jacket in the USN to my fellow aviators. I also gave a brief on the history of brown shoes in the Navy. The feed back...

    Purpose of side seam entry "pocket" on Bridge Coat?

    It is for a sword belt to be worn during formal ceremonies. The hook to attach the sword would stick out through this side entry. This pic is not of a Bridge Coat, but it's a good example how the sword is worn.

    I wish I had that problem. I have just the opposite problem.

    Excelled Sheepskin and Leather Company G-1 Jackets

    I wonder if the DSCP tag was removed? Mine was made in 2001 and it has the label. All the Junior Officers jackets at the squadron that have been issued in the last 6 to 10 years have the DSCP tag.

    The first time I heard the song it was sung by Jimmy Buffet. Second time was the Stills version.

    Excelled Sheepskin and Leather Company G-1 Jackets

    It's not a repro, It's my issued jacket. In the four squadrons I have been in, none of them had issues with us flying with our issued G-1s. Of course I never wore it when I was stationed in Guam.

    Excelled Sheepskin and Leather Company G-1 Jackets

    I fly with it all the time. There is nothing that says I can't fly with it.

    Excelled Sheepskin and Leather Company G-1 Jackets

    As much as I like my issued Excelled jacket, I would love a goat with a real mouton collar.

    My old shiny Nomex ripped and I was given one of the new Nomex jackets to replace it. I am not a fan of it. It feels and looks like canvas.

    Excelled Sheepskin and Leather Company G-1 Jackets

    I went flying with mine yesterday. Here are few pics of my issued Excelled. I wear a 46R, but I was issued a 48 because they said I would be wearing my winter gear under it, so I needed the room. It is slightly too big, but it does fit when I wear my winter gear under it. I tried on a 46R at...

    Excelled Sheepskin and Leather Company G-1 Jackets

    One of the other pilots in my squadron has a Cooper that is made of Goat. He was issued that in 1998.

    I want to see the new King Kong movie just to see the A-2 John C. Reilly wears.

    Cockpit 100 Mission G-1

    I know that the Cockpit G-1 is sold in the Navy Exchange (NEX) stores. Maybe that is what they mean by "supplied to the U.S. Navy." I have never seen an issued G-1 from Cockpit.
