Americana Themes Prevail in Cockpit USA's Debut Collection for Fall 2006

Cockpit USA is a new fashion collection for men that is rugged with a luxury feel and refers to a bygone age. Americana themes are important in the collection. Key items are graphic t-shirts which are printed before they are sewn and feature cool graphics of the wild west, pin up girls from the nose art of WW2 aircraft and other themes. The company is an official supplier to the US Air Force of the pilot's iconic leather A-2 jacket. And it this authenticity that makes this collection interesting. [p] The Utah Beach jacket is made from actual surplus military blankets that were used on the beaches of Normandy in WW2. The Rocky Mountain jacket takes its inspiration from a vintage hunting jacket and is made of wool plaid with a corduroy collar and features duck pocket flaps at the rear. The brand's tags convey its authenticity and history with archival photos and background information. I love this collection.
