Lightweight summer CWU-36P available in July

Our “New”  Cooper Original™ Top Gun Maverick CWU-45P is our recreation of the CWU jacket worn by the star of the upcoming Top Gun 2: Maverick movie. The CWU was first introduced in the early 1970s, eventually replacing the venerable MA-1, and is still in active duty with the USN, USMC, USAF & USCG today. Its two most iconic features are the two huge front cargo pockets with velcro-closure flaps and the rounded collar. Unlike the military-issue version, this CWU isn’t made from costly fire-resistant Nomex but is made from Military-grade flight satin nylon, making it far more affordable.

The Patches on this jacket are authentic military patches supplied to Paramount for the Top Gun Movie.

Patches customized when ordered. Please allow an addition 2 weeks for completion.

CWU History

Earlier flight jackets were made from fabrics that were found to melt when a pilot was caught in a fire. As technology improved, there was a need for a fire-retardant jacket. This led to the rise of the CWU (Cold Weather Uniform) 36/P and 45/P made from Nomex. Created by Dupont and known for its excellent thermal, chemical, and radiation resistant. The military still issue Nomex jackets to Air Force pilots. Manufacturers created the Nylon version of the CWU45P for the commercial market.
