Adapted by Hollywood in true American fashion, Cockpit USA flight jackets have become the ultimate symbol of strength, courage, and timeless style. From Top Gun to Indiana Jones, and even Rocky, if the character was bold and rugged, they were probably wearing a jacket from the Cockpit USA catalog. Whether you’re prepping for Halloween or just want to turn heads at your next event, our jackets transform any look or costume into a style rooted in authenticity and attitude.

Kicking off this year's Aviator costume list is a classic Saturday Night Live (SNL) comedy skit, “Times Square Kiss”, where comedian Mikey Day portrays a pilot wearing a Cockpit USA Mustang A-2 jacket. In our humble opinion, a WWII aviator is about as classic and timeless as it gets. To capture all the traits that are associated with aviation - brains, brawn and bravery - accessorize your aviator costume with aviator sunglasses, a crush cap, and of course… a leather A-2 flight jacket.

Undoubtedly the most recognizable style in the Cockpit USA catalog is the “Movie Hero Top Gun Jacket”. Immortalized by Tom Cruise in the 1986 film Top Gun and again in Top Gun: Maverick (2022). Our Movie Hero Top Gun Jacket remains one of the most iconic pieces in cinematic costume history, even Lady Gaga wore the CWU – 36P Flight Jacket in her music video for “Hold My Hand,” the Maverick film’s theme song.

Decades after wartime airmen took to the skies, shearling jackets are flying higher than ever! The RAF Sheepskin jacket style was famously resurrected by Tom Hardy in his highly recognizable Esquire magazine cover.

The Champ, is a style worn by Sylvester Stallone in the epic stair case training scene of Rocky IV.
Last but certainly not least, The highly celebrated sci-fi horror video game, STALKER - Shadow Of The Zone, was transformed into a modern live-action film, that was released earlier this year.
