Item availability is checked when you complete the purchase order. Placing an item in your shopping cart does not ensure its availability, if there are any issues with item's availability Cockpit USA will advise. 

Cockpit USA does not include international customs fees or any taxes from country of import. International customers are responsible to cover all fees. Cockpit USA is subject to deduct any shipping and VAT fees it might cover for any refused international package from customer.

It is not required to add signature at checkout but we highly recommend that all customers add signature as Cockpit USA is not responsible for for losses where the carrier shows goods delivered.

We have temporarily stopped using Federal Express due to too many issues with their service. UPDATE: We are currently offering FedEx and UPS as an international option.

 No.
We sold the ‘Avirex’ label in 2008 and changed our name to Cockpit USA. We sell versions of all the jackets that made Avirex famous, and some of the same styles we have been making for over 40 years.
 
 

We no longer produce the varsity line of jackets in the way that we did, but we do offer varsity styles on our site and continue to release newCockpit USA varsity jackets.
 
 

Nothing is really needed but for our Leather jackets you may try a little Mink Oil, LEATHER MILK,  Lexol or any natural product on an inside panel or under a pocket flap to see if you like what it does to the leather. The oil will darken the leather somewhat, so be careful not to use too much. We like to use Grandad's Leather Treatment or LEATHER MILK sold on our website.
 
 

Usually there is no need to clean a leather jacket but if you must, we recommend sending it to professional leather cleaner or furrier. A spot on a lining or sheepskin can be cleaned with a little Woolite applied with a damp sponge and allowed to air dry. It should be noted that the special finishes on many of the jackets may totally disappear if you dry clean it by regular methods.

Yes, all of our Made in USA leather jackets are made with full grain leather.

For our regular sheepskin bombers the fur is approximately 5/8" in thickness. For our lightweight sheepskin bombers, the fur is approximately 1/4" in thickness.

We can replace the lining, the knit cuffs and waistband, the zipper and even the collar of most vintage Avirex and all Cockpit USA jackets, as long as the leather is not too far distressed. Please call our customer service line at 1-212-575-1616 ext 33 for prices and time estimates. For more information visit our Jacket Repairs page.
 
 

If you have a particular jacket or two that you are interested in, we can send you a swatch of the leather used on the jacket so you can inspect and compare it. Please send an email to info@cockpitusa.com or call 212.575.1616 to request a leather swatch invoice be sent.

Yes, you can send in any leather or sheepskin jacket in wearable condition and receive a credit for $100 to be used towards the purchase of a regular priced leather or sheepskin jacket. Please send your order in with the jacket you are trading in. We donate these jackets to charity and will not be able to return the old jacket after you have sent it in. Last year we sent over 200 jackets to the New York City Coat Drive. Please keep in mind that none of our discounts can be combined and only one discount per order may be used.

No, we are totally separate companies. US Wings is a customer of Cockpit USA and sell our manufactured jackets on their website, among other brands.
 
 

90% of our leather, cotton, nylon, bomber, and sheepskin jackets are made here in the USA. We endeavor to be very clear in the item descriptions regarding which items are imported and which are manufactured in the USA.
 
 

To meet the demand of some customers looking for a quality jacket at a lower price point, we offer made in the USA and imported styles. Cockpit jackets and products made in the USA do cost more as they are made in our government factory to the highest standard. Imported versions are very good quality products and are usually sold under our ‘Blue Eagle by Cockpit USA’ label or under our fashion brand, ‘Civilian Pilot Training’.

The prices on other websites may show a difference of about 10% but we do not like to compete with our wholesale customers. Keep in mind, when you purchase from elsewhere, you are not purchasing the Cockpit USA trusted customer service we are known for.
 
 

 
The price increase of our jackets reflects the increase in the cost of raw materials in the region of 10% to 65%. Raw material commodities are becoming scarcer and therefore more expensive.

 
We occasionally produce exclusive private label jackets for other companies just as we produce the A-2 leather jacket for the United States Air Force, but cannot sell those exact jackets commercially.

We carry many kinds of leather products and jackets:
 
Antique Lamb: Soft, supple, meant to wear with continued use to give the look of a "worn vintage" jacket.
Cowhide: Soft, durable, will maintain its color over years but become softer with age.
Goatskin: Standard for military use, does not "age" as quickly as antique lamb, light weight and durable but also tough as nails.
Horsehide: Standard for military use during WWII, very durable, comfortable but tough leather that softens and becomes more beautiful with age.
Sheepskin: Nappa leather finish on the "suede" side, very warm and luxurious with wool on the inside.
 
 

The fits of our jackets vary:
 
Slim Fit: A contemporary fit but not tight; if you find a jacket is stated to be slim or mil spec you may want to order one size up for a roomy fit.
Regular/True Fit: Conforms to a standard sized jacket that you would find in most stores.
Full Fit: An oversized fit that usually dates back to some of our sizing from our designs in the 80s. You may want to order a size down to have a more contemporary fit.
 

We recommend you ask our customer service department about long sizing if you are 6' 3" or taller. Most of our long jackets add an extra 2 inches in length for each size. Please reach out to info@cockpitusa.com with your measurements for a personal size recommendation.
 
 

Yes! We offer a line of FIRE RETARDENT Nomex Flight Jackets. Our Nomex CWU Modified 45P Jacket is worn by the Florida Highway Patrol. We also offer a few nylon and wax cotton water repellent jackets for men and women. If there is something specific you are looking for, we are able to make a custom jacket if needed. Please contact customer service info@cockpitusa.com for additional information.
 
 

Leave to dry in a cool dry place with no covering and keep away from heat.
 

Get a batch of sudsy water with a clean cloth. Wipe the inside with the sudsy lather and use the damp wet cloth to rinse/wipe excess off. Let dry and brush with a soft brush.

 You can store your sheepskin jacket on a hanger but must be a wide hanger at the shoulders so it doesn’t create dents or creases.  

Do not totally enclose your coat as it needs to breathe and try not to store it in a very warm place.
