"Nothing like the luxury of a new Cockpit jacket. Construction quality, materials, fit, appearance, functionality, all superb. The nicest and most professional people to deal with also. This jacket hugs your shoulders at first, learns your shape, and begins to drape perfectly as it should. Appearing almost fitted, yet accommodating layers and movement with ease, the jacket is instantly comfortable and better each time on. Goatskin is simply the best, and the look and feel of the veg tan, like a million bucks. So, for my slim 5'9" 165 lbs and 39" chest frame a medium is perfection, as per the chart, NOT the fit finder which suggested a small. Actual jacket measurements are also available if you ask nicely and are recommended. If considering this boss jacket you will not be disappointed, it will keep you warm and 'cool' at the same time. (how does it know?) The question becomes how to wear it, with everything all the time, or for more specific outings with ensemble. I love it. Hope that helps." -Dennis B.
Reminiscent of a time past when only the finest materials were used in manufacturing work clothing for rugged use, the Vintage Roughneck Oil Driller Jacket is inspired by the hardwearing leathers worn by workers who built oil and gas drilling sites in West Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Alaska during the 1930s and 1940s. This goatskin leather jacket has a luxuriously supple feel with a special vintage look you will only find at Cockpit USA. The straight bottom and cuff cut of the oilfield jacket make it an easy to wear piece for any occasion with an added roughneck, vintage twist!

"I am a long time customer and fan of Cockpit USA jackets. This jacket is no exception. It is great! Looks great and feels great and is true American made quality. Roomy in the shoulders which is what I like. Kudos to Stephanie who always is great helping me pick out my jackets at the NYC store."
"Great jacket. The fit is perfect. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the leather is top-tier. I was really impressed by the thoughtful design details. Highly recommended."
"I am a designer which means I am very picky about style and not rich. I spent years researching leather jackets as I didn't want a trendy, biker or military jacket. When I found the driller with a 30-40s vibe I loved it. THEN I waited 3 years to make sure I would continue to love it before buying it this week. I emailed the NYC showroom to make an appointment as I'm not an easy person fit. I got an email back right away. After a few back and forths I realized they from the co-owner Jacky! Made an appointment with Stephanie who is great. As soon as I walked in she told me my size after one look. She was right. Then Jacky came out and we all chatted. Very pleasant people to deal with. I'm sort of OC when it comes to authentic sources for shoes, boots and clothes. You can't go wrong here with the quality product and people. Peter"
"Actually, I bought this jacket before, but returned it because the sleeves were too long. But later regretted returning it. I couldn't forget this jacket, and I wanted to wear it again, even if the sleeves were a little long. This time, I changed my jacket size from S to XS, and the sleeve length issue was resolved. This jacket reminds me of Indiana Jones. Unlike a flight jacket, there are no knit parts, so there's no need to worry about moth damage. It feels like I've been reunited with an ex-lover."
"Amazing craftmanship. The fit is perfect. On a cold day i can layer up and dont feel restricted. The weight of the jacket is just right. Thank you Cockpit"
"Cheers to Cockpit. Staff is great, courteous and helpful. Goatskin, a must and it is soft, thick, heavy and the right texture and color. Took a chance on the "medium" and the fit is perfect. Now I am looking at the other jackets they offer."
"Dear Cockpit, Massive respect from Russia, and big thanks for your top-notch quality products and love for aviation and history. I am 51, and I have never had such a nice thing before. You can feel it was made with love. I was lucky to find you and bought two leather jackets—hence, not the last ones."
"I purchased this jacket 8 years ago, and the longer I own it the better it gets, so comfortable and looking perfectly new. Super quality and comfort… this jacket will last generations."
"What to you get when you mix a G-1 and a A-2 jacket? You get the Roughneck Oil Driller jacket, with the addition of more inside pockets, and a high neck collar, all done in an antique finish on a thick goatskin leather. Put on a fedora, and you can be your own Indiana Jones. Another legacy jacket from Cockpit that I am happy to wear!"
"A beautiful, heirloom-quality jacket. I'm 6'0" 175 lbs and got a medium - it fits perfectly except that I needed to get the sleeves shortened (not a problem with the jacket necessarily; I always need to get the sleeves shortened). Couldn't be happier with it."
