As someone who lives and breathes aviation—from cockpit experiences to tactical documentary filming—I’m always on the lookout for gear that not only looks the part but feels flight deck ready. Enter: the Flight Suit Jacket from Wingman Tactical.
This isn’t just any piece of merch. It’s a functional, field-inspired jacket cut from the cloth of real-deal flight gear—the CWU 27P flight suit used by aircrew. Wingman Tactical sent me one to test and review, and I’ve been rocking it since it arrived. Let’s dive in.
✈️ First Impressions
The jacket instantly feels authentic. It’s got that military look without being too heavy or overbuilt. The fabric is a lightweight cotton/polyester blend, built in a 1/1 plain weave, which gives it a clean, no-fuss structure but keeps it breathable. You can tell this isn’t some knockoff cosplay piece—it’s sewn to mil-spec standards, and it shows.
It’s warm enough to throw on for chilly shoots, but light enough to layer with ease. And the polyester-filled inner liningis surprisingly comfy—definitely more “cockpit to coffee shop” than “sweaty survival drill.”
🔧 Key Features I Love:
-
Two-way front zipper: Great for adjusting airflow or adding flexibility when sitting down or strapping in.
-
Adjustable waist Velcro: Easily dial in the fit—tighten it for a more tactical silhouette or loosen for layering.
-
Zippered & flap-covered sleeve pocket: A legit nod to pilot flight suits. I throw a pen and a challenge coin in mine.
-
Durable seam construction: Everything is felled and double-stitched. Built to last under pressure.
🎯 Fit & Style
Mine fits true to size and sits somewhere between a bomber and a utility jacket. It’s boxy in the right way, and the olive green colour I went with is pure Top Gun vibes.
While it’s unisex, it’s also become something of a cult favourite among women in aviation. The Pink version? A killer statement piece.
This is one of those jackets that doesn’t just show you’re into aviation—it feels like you belong in the cockpit. Whether you’re a pilot, a crew chief, or a fan on the ground, it’s wearable without screaming “costume.”
🎁 Perfect Gift for Aviation Addicts
Honestly, if you’re looking for something unique to gift a pilot, crew member, or aspiring aviator—this is a top-tier option. It says, “I see your passion and I support it.”

Fly safe. Dress sharp.
