First standardized on May 9.1931, the U.S. Army Air Corps type A-2 leather summer open cockpit flying jacket became one of the most popular garments ever issued to aviators.

Willis & Geiger makes it today, as it did then, in seal brown horsehide or optional goatskin and cowhide.

Originally designed for the days of helmet and goggle flying, the U.S. Navy 1930-1938 issue open cockpit goatskin flight jacket featured double diamond upper arm abrasion resistant construction and zippered forearm sleeves for ease of arm swing.
In 1938 specification 422 called for Willis & Geiger to design and manufacture a replacement for the open cockpit G-8 goatskin flight jacket that had been their production issue since 1931.
The model dubbed the G-1 has often erroneously been referred to generically as a “bomber jacket” by the fashion trade. The truth is the jacket was issued to and used more by carrier air groups than any other segment of U.S. Naval aviation.
Willis & Geiger perhaps the only manufacturer still in production today, adheres strictly to the original specifications.
