What is so special about Top Gun’s jackets?

Well if you have seen ‘Top Gun’ it’s difficult to say that those jackets didn’t catch your eyes. The Brown G-1 Flight Jacket is worn by Maverick, complete with patches and a fur collar. It’s up there with Marlon Brando’s Schott Leather Jacket in The Wild One and the Matrix Leather Trench Coat as one of the most renowned leather jackets in film history. Tom Cruise’s bomber jacket, which he wore throughout the film, was a classic copy of the jackets worn by the US Navy’s finest fighters. The USN Anchor pin was on the right front pocket of Maverick’s jacket, which carried a total of 17 navy patches. Since 1938, G-1 flight jackets have been standard issues for United States Navy pilots. Maverick’s leather jacket was a replica of what Navy and Marine Corps flight crews would have worn during some of history’s most daring air fights.
