Cockpit USA presents the USS Forrestal Carrier Pilot's Vietnam Flight Jacket, inspired by the G-1 jackets worn by U.S. Navy fighter pilots during the Vietnam War. Made from hand-treated vintage goatskin leather, this jacket features historically accurate USS Forrestal pilot patches. The back showcases a hand-screen-printed U.S.S Forrestal aircraft carrier (CVA-59) illustration and the iconic "Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club" patch, symbolizing service off the coast of North Vietnam. Designed without a fur collar, this jacket is ideal for warmer weather while maintaining its historical authenticity. Due to the natural vegetable tanning and distressing process, each piece carries a unique patina.
