Nothing says innovation and toughness like the X-1, the first aircraft to break the sound barrier, flown by General Chuck Yeager in 1947. Inspired by that, Sporty’s is introducing the AeroWear X-1 Flight Jacket.
The jacket is equipped with multiple button-snap exterior pockets, side hand pockets, and adjustable cuffs for a customized fit. Additional zippered inside pockets provide secure storage but can be tucked away when not in use, according to Sporty’s officials.
The jacket’s lining features images of the iconic Bell X-1 rocket-powered aircraft.
The AeroWear X-1 Flight Jacket is available for $89.99.

I have had beers with Yeager at our Squadron bar and heritage room, and I can say with absolute certainty that he would not be caught dead wearing this jacket…
