Great Jacket!!
The G-1 Flight Jacket with the Removable Collar is one of the best jackets I've ever worn. It is very high quality. The wait was worth it. Everywhere I;ve worn the jacket; people have commented how much they like it. I would tell anyone who is interested in this particular jacket to consider going up two sizes since it is very form fitting (if you prefer a looser fit to layer in the winter). I am 6 feet tall, 178 lbs, 42 inch chest, 32 inch waist and very athletic. I bought the 44 inch and it fits me perfectly with little room for layring. But that's how I wanted the jacket to fit. It kept me very warm this past winter. If you call Cockpit USA and speak with them, they will get you the right size the first time based on how you want the jacket to fit. If you want a true flight jacket based on the vintage jackets from WWII, Cockpit USA is the place to shop. They follow the patterns and materials used for the vintage jackets and the quality is top notch. You wont be dissapointed. I have been in USMC aviation for 20 years with most of my flight time in the UH-1N and I can verify that the G-1 is much warmer, heavier, and vastly better looking then the nomex I wore on active duty. Get the jacket. . . You won't be dissapointed.
