Military garments in NYC - Must visit Cockpit USA

by Conor C

Hi there

I visited Cockpit USA store on Monday past during my first visit to NYC (from Ireland). It is located on Broadway between Bleecker and Bond.

I thought that your store was great - lots of interesting items to view, great store layout and products and very friendly and helpful staff.

I bought a WEP USN USMC jacket during my visit that I am extremely happy with - a great looking, good quality garment at a fair price that I would not be able to purchase at home.

The store also offers a great website that I have just visited to peruse my next buy from CockpitUSA.

I would recommend this store to anyone and will certainly spread the word back home in Ireland re: this store. Great-looking and top quality products at fair prices, many interesting

items to browse through including a cool exhibition of military garments and stand-out welcoming, knowledgeable staff who really make your visit to the store a great experience.

Thanks a lot to Cockpit USA for a great buy and for the great hospitality received from the guys in-store.

Military galore!!

by Frank7500

Cockpit USA is fantastic as it has a unique experience from the moment you walk through the front doors! Airplanes hanging from the ceiling and in all different sizes and model will definitely grab your attention. The clothes are all military inspired and most men like that type of clothing. Their bread and butter must be the leather jackets with style of the G-1 and A-2 class fighters. Customer service is good and respectful and will not shy away from giving you a suggestion for what style fits you best. If you like the military, this is your store to go!

One of a Kind

Went to the store last year during a NYC visit. The personalized customer service is outstanding. The unique designs were spectacular. I received many compliments on what I bought from the store by people in my local area.

• Pros: unique designs

Leather Destination

by heat85

A buddy of mine recomended this place since he knows my appreciation for aviation and military apparel. I came in specifically for the Kamamikaze t-shirt after checking out their website, but once in the store I left with an entire outfit. The t-shirt was even better in person than on the website. The customer service was amazing, unlike many other stores arround the neighborhood. I also found my favorite sneakers brand, PFflyers, after so many years, I left with a pair of Bob Cousy from the movie Sandlot as well as the 1970's style Glides. I was impressed with the outside brands they carried like the organic henlys from Alternative and the Australian brand Kakadu. I will return to Cockpit to purchace one of their authentic US Airforce A-2 jackets. Hopefully this time I will only leave with the one item but who knows their stuff it's great so I might be tempted for something else.

• Pros: American Made Leathers
• Cons: Could not stop shopping

Thanks for such a complete and interesting note! We look forward to having you back. You'll go crazy for the incredible offer of boots from Palladium, Wolverine, Danner, Corcoran... this Fall! And don't forget to tell your female friends about the offering of women's leathers.

Great Find!

by Andromeda77

I stumbled across this store last week walking down Broadway just North of Houston. It's easy to miss, but I'm very glad I stopped in to take a look. The store has one of the most interesting and creative visuals and merchandising i've seen in New York. They have an amazing contempory brand called CPT alongside old vintage military inspired leather jackets. I purchased a pair of their CPT Chambrey shorts for this season and they are one of the best pairs of shorts I own to date. The customer service was spot on and even the music was enjoyable. If you haven't checked out this store yet, I would highly recommend it!

• Pros: Clothing, Asthetic, Excellent Customer Service

Glad you didn't miss the store...I know it's hard to find us. Our shorts have been on fire this past season and we expect our pants coming next!

Best Leather in NYC

by jls580

The Cockpit store is by far one of the most unique boutiques in New York. The apparell has a classic military style, with authentic detail. This is the only place in new york that you can get a military style "D.I." shirt emblazoned with authentic military patches. The store is the official supplier of leather for the U.S. Airforce, so it is the only place in the world that you can purchase an official U.S. military bomber jacket. The leather is by far the most impressive aspect of the Cockpit brand, they have jackets with researched detail, my personal favorite was their "vietnam era" G-1, the jacket apparently was based on an authentic altered U.S. navy leather that actually served in the Gulf of Tonkin. The jacket features authentic squadron and ship patches, as well as a hand painted back featuring an image of the aircraft carrier on which the jacket served. There is also a full selection of women's leather, including an amazing jacket based upon the leather that Ameilia Earhart made famous. This is by far my favorite store, and it's only in New York!!

• Pros: classic military aesthetic, vintage inspired apparell,
• Cons: only store in manhattan

Excellent web site!

by Ray Craig

Haven't had a chance to hit the store in NYC since I live in South Carolina, so I cruised the web site instead. Having been a proud owner of a US Navy "Top Gun" G-1 jacket since 1987, I like to keep up on the products this first-rate company makes. The web site is nothing short of stunning! Excellent pictures, outstanding grapics, very well organized! If the store is this good, maybe I should contemplate a trip up North....

• Pros: Good layout, excellent pictures of merchandise
• Cons: A very minor spelling error, but hey...we're all human!

Great customer service

Authentic flight leather jackets from WWII

I had some questions about one of the jackets I was thinking of buying and called the NOHO store, they are super helpful in helping me figure out the style and size.
