Black G-1 Flight Leather Bomber Jacket

Black G-1 Flight Leather Bomber Jacket

Defining G-1 Features

The G-1 jacket is a direct descendant of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps flight jacket specifications. Its signature feature is the large, detachable shearling or fur collar contrasting with the smooth black leather. This jacket maintains a trim fit and shorter cut than many other bomber styles.

It features distinctive bi-swing pleats on the back shoulders, designed to allow the pilot a full range of arm motion. The ribbed knit waistband and cuffs are essential for sealing out wind and cold air during a flight. We also have B3 Flight Sheepskin Aviator Fur Leather Coat.

Material and Construction

The G-1 flight jacket is traditionally made from tough, high-quality goatskin leather for durability and softness. Using a deep black color modernizes this traditional military material while retaining its rugged appeal. Unlike the B3, the G-1 has a smoother lining, focusing on lightweight warmth and ease of movement.

The leather’s superior quality ensures the jacket will age gracefully, developing a subtle patina over years of wear. Its durable construction is designed for longevity, maintaining its shape and function across seasons.

Styling the Black Bomber

The sleek fit and black leather finish of the G-1 make it a versatile piece for urban, everyday wear. It pairs perfectly with clean, simple outfits like dark denim jeans and a plain crew-neck t-shirt or a simple thermal top.

For a smarter look, layer the black bomber over a button-down shirt or a fine-gauge sweater with tailored chinos. The contrasting fur collar (if present) serves as a stylish accessory, adding texture and warmth.
