Men's Jacket Cooper Original OLD COOPER G1 BROWN
Product Description
An aviator jacket that carries the weight of history—and wears it beautifully.
The OLD COOPER G1 BROWN is not just another leather jacket. It is a faithful recreation of the G-1 flight jackets worn by US Navy pilots during the Second World War—built to endure the rigours of combat, yet designed with a timeless elegance that transcends its military origins. Crafted from full-grain buffalo leather, this jacket combines rugged durability with a naturally aged finish that tells a story from the moment you put it on. The generous American cut ensures freedom of movement, while the polyester-fur-lined collar (vegan-friendly) provides warmth without sacrificing style. Two exterior pockets offer practicality, and an interior pocket keeps essentials secure. Whether you're layering it over a sweater on a crisp autumn evening or pairing it with a simple tee for a casual weekend look, this jacket adapts effortlessly—just as it has for generations of pilots and style-conscious wearers alike.
A material that only gets better with time.
Buffalo leather is the heart of this jacket, chosen for its thickness, strength, and natural resistance to wear. Unlike softer leathers, buffalo develops a rich patina over time, deepening in colour and character with each wear. The slightly distressed finish isn’t just for aesthetics—it’s a nod to the original G-1 jackets, which were designed to look lived-in from the start. This isn’t a jacket that fades into the background; it’s one that evolves with you, gaining personality with every outing. And while the leather is robust, the construction is anything but heavy-handed. The seams are reinforced, the stitching is precise, and the hardware—from the snap buttons to the zipper—is built to last. This is a jacket that’s meant to be used, not just admired.
Designed for those who value both form and function.
The G-1 wasn’t just a piece of military gear; it was a lifeline for pilots flying open-cockpit planes in freezing conditions. The OLD COOPER G1 BROWN honours that legacy with a design that prioritises both warmth and mobility. The roomy American cut allows for layering underneath, while the fur-lined collar can be snapped up to shield against wind and cold. The two flap pockets are large enough to hold gloves or a phone, and the interior pocket is ideal for keeping valuables safe. But beyond its practical features, this jacket has a presence—one that commands attention without trying too hard. It’s the kind of piece that works just as well with a pair of raw denim and boots as it does with tailored trousers and a button-down. Versatile, yes, but never generic.
US Wings is more than just a brand—it’s a custodian of military aviation history. Founded by a US veteran, the company has spent decades perfecting the art of recreating iconic flight jackets, from the A-2 to the G-1. Their connection to Cooper Original, the historic supplier of these jackets to the US military, ensures that every piece they produce is rooted in authenticity. This isn’t fast fashion; it’s quality manufacturing with a purpose, blending respect for tradition with modern wearability. When you wear a US Wings jacket, you’re not just wearing leather—you’re wearing a piece of history, meticulously preserved.

Frequently Asked Questions
This jacket is made from high-quality buffalo leather, known for its durability and natural rugged texture. Over time, it develops a rich patina, deepening in colour and softening slightly while maintaining its robust character. The pre-aged finish ensures it retains its vintage look as it wears in.
The polyester fur-lined collar provides substantial warmth, making it well-suited for autumn and winter. While not as insulating as real fur, it offers a good balance of heat retention and lightweight comfort, ideal for chilly but not extreme conditions.
The jacket features a generous American cut, designed to accommodate layering. If you prefer a snug fit, consider sizing down, but for the intended relaxed silhouette, it’s best to stick with your usual size.
Buffalo leather is naturally thick and resistant to moisture, but it’s not waterproof. Light rain won’t damage it, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause water spots. Treating the leather with a waterproofing spray can help protect it.
Regularly wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove dust. Use a leather conditioner every few months to keep it supple and prevent drying. Avoid direct heat sources and store it in a cool, dry place, ideally on a padded hanger to maintain its shape.
Pair it with a simple white T-shirt, dark jeans, and boots for a classic, effortless style. The rugged aesthetic also works well with a chunky knit sweater or a flannel shirt for added warmth and texture.
Caring for your leather
You have chosen a buffalo leather jacket. Buffalo leather is one of the most resistant skins!
It often has a shiny or greasy appearance, this helps it avoid aging too quickly.
The more your leather is fat, the more you will need to think about waterproofing it, especially before even wearing it the first time! Oily buffalo leather can actually rub off on your clothes if you don't treat it first. Waterproofing helps prevent this phenomenon.
In the event of a stain, we advise you to use box spring earth. And to revive the shine of the leather like in the early days, a special leather grease tube is the ideal solution! You can find all our maintenance products on our maintenance section
In all cases, remember to always test the application of a maintenance product on a non-visible surface of your product. Certain finishes or leather treatments may react differently from one product to another.
