G-1 Flight Jacket

Probably the most glamorized flight jacket of all time, the G-1 military flight jacket was worn by Tom Cruise in the 1986 movie Top Gun. Originally manufactured in the 1930s, it was mainly worn by the U.S. Army Air Corps and Navy after World War II and during the Korean War. A popular jacket, the G-1 endured until 1978. It is a stylish jacket with an easily recognizable fur-collar lining. (A non-fur collared version is named the G-2.)

American Mystique offers a G-1 Top Gun jacket that is made of 100% antique lamb. It features a genuine mouton fur collar, a material that was originally used in the historic jacket. It is embroidered with seven squadron patches and a naval aviator blood chit on the back. The G-1 bomber jacket is manufactured with wool-nylon blend knit cuffs and waistband and two inside chest pockets. For individuals seeking this jacket without a fur collar, American Mystique carries the G2 Raider Jacket in vintage lambskin.
