Cooper Original™ Maverick Cape Buffalo G-1

A US Wings Exclusive! Our US Wings Cooper Original™ Cape Buffalo Maverick “Dust Devils” G-1 Jacket is a new twist on the jacket seen in the movie: Top Gun Maverick. We’ve taken the four patches seen on Maverick’s CWU jacket to give it that authentic antique “50 Mission” look & feel of a G-1 from the 1950s and ’60s.

Made of leather from one of the toughest & most dangerous big game animals in Africa. Cape Buffaloes are one of the “big five” African game animals, but not categorized as an endangered species. Can weigh up to 2,000 lbs. Notoriously difficult to bring down. Our Buffalo leather is very unique and has that old world feel and look. Our tanning and antiquing process ensures that no two jackets will look exactly alike.

History of Cooper:

Founded in 1922, Cooper manufactured raincoats for the US Army in 1917-1918 as well as field jackets from 1941-1945. On January 5 1942, Cooper was awarded the contract to produce A-2 jackets for the USAAF during WWII. In 1988, they were awarded a contract to produce A-2s for the USAF; the jackets were created using patterns from an original A-2 but were made in a fuller cut to accommodate modern physiques. In 1996, they were awarded a contract from the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP) to re-design the A-2 into what would become the current military-issue version. Fit & functionality upgrades were made to this venerable Air Force flight jacket, including side-entry hand-warmer pockets and an interior pocket (which had previously only been available on civilian A-2 versions, not on military-issue A-2s), underarm gussets, and a more roomy fit.

Their contribution to the civilian market was no less significant. Cooper produced a range of A-2s, G-1s, Indy jackets and more to customers around the world. US Wings partnered with Cooper in 1986 and ending when Cooper ceased production in the late 1990s. US Wings is the official home of the Cooper name and we’re proud to continue the tradition of excellence. This line consists of classic Cooper jackets as well as a number of “new classics” that are sure to appeal to any leather jacket enthusiast. Rest assured that we’ve retained Cooper’s commitment to quality, putting only the finest materials and the highest level of craftsmanship into the jackets that bear the Cooper Original name. This ensures that our jackets will be of the same high quality as the original Cooper Sportswear jackets worn by your father, grandfather or even great-grandfather.
