Our Cape Buffalo “Maverick” G-1 Jackets are the ultimate version of this venerable flight jacket! These G-1s are accurate reproductions of the Maverick jackets seen in the movies, but we use our vintage Cape Buffalo G-1 to give them that authentic antique “100 Mission” look & feel of a G-1 from the 1950s and ’60s.
Our Cape Buffalo G-1 is one of the strongest & most durable jackets we manufacture, making it ideal for aviators, bikers, adventurers or anyone else who needs or appreciates an ultra-tough jacket that’s made from a truly unique leather.

History of the G-1:
The “G-1” military flight jacket is the commonly accepted name for the fur-lined-collar World War II-era flight jacket. From the beginning, aviators chose leather for its warmth, durability, and good looks. Made famous by the AVG in China, and Hellcat pilots over the Pacific during WWII! A USN and USMC leather flight jacket, worn with pride by our Phantom crews during Vietnam. The G-1 remains a current issue jacket for officer and enlisted aviation personnel on flying status in the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard. Worn by the daring men and women of the USCG that risk their lives daily to save others in harms way.
