The "Pierson" G-1 Bomber | Heritage Brown Leather & Shearling Collar | Full Grain Apparel

The Aviator’s Standard: Timeless Command

Pay homage to the elite naval aviators of the 1940s with the Pierson G-1 Bomber Jacket from Full Grain Apparel. While the A-2 was for the Army, the G-1 was the Navy’s choice—distinguished by its iconic fur collar and bi-swing back. The "Pierson" edition refines this military staple for the modern man, offering a rugged, seasoned look that pairs perfectly with everything from dark indigo denim to tailored chinos. It’s a jacket that doesn't just look like history; it feels like it.

Authentic Materials & Rich Tonal Depth

At Full Grain Apparel, we use specialized tanning processes to ensure the Pierson looks like a well-traveled original:

• Premium "Seal Brown" Goatskin or Cowhide: Traditionally, G-1 jackets used goatskin for its incredible pebble-grain texture and natural water resistance. The Pierson utilizes a heavy-duty, top-grain hide that is supple yet nearly indestructible.

• Genuine "Honey-Gold" Shearling Collar: Features a plush, natural sheepskin collar in a warm golden-brown. It provides immediate thermal protection for the neck and adds a luxurious textural contrast to the dark leather.

• Heritage Satin Lining: The interior is finished with a high-luster, moisture-wicking satin lining in a deep burgundy or bronze, allowing for smooth layering over wool sweaters.

Tactical Naval Specs & Heritage Detail

The Pierson is defined by its unique functional architecture, originally designed for the tight confines of a cockpit:

• Bi-Swing "Action Back": Features the classic deep-pleat expansion system at the shoulders. This allows for a full range of arm movement without the jacket riding up—perfect for driving or active commutes.

   

• Dual-Entry Button-Flap Cargo Pockets: Two oversized front pockets with authentic button-down flaps and hidden side-entry slots for modern hand-warming convenience.

• Heavy-Duty Ribbed "Storm" Trim: Features high-tension, anti-pill elasticized knitting at the cuffs and hem to lock in body heat and maintain the jacket’s iconic tapered shape.

• Pen/Utility Slot: A traditional pencil slot integrated into the left chest pocket—a nod to the original flight charts and navigation tools used by pilots.

• Reinforced Underarm Grommets: Brass ventilation eyelets under the arms ensure breathability during high-intensity wear.
