As the cooler months between October and March enter our lives, the need for warmer garments begins to become an optimum priority before leaving the house for the day. But just because harsher temperatures may attempt to leave our bodies frozen, that doesn't mean we have to let our fashion sense cool off completely as well. The ultimate in outwear for those looking for a more casual look that captures a rugged and regal military prospective is the flight jacket. This is a fantastic style for sporting events and regular day-to-day domesticated shopping missions. Consider the classic flight jacket when you shop for a new go-to source for staying warm that has some extra dramatic flavor.

The flight jacket dates back to World War I when military pilots flew fighter planes that didn't have cockpit enclosures. It was the flight jacket that would keep these airborne soldier's bodies protected from their direct contact with harsh temperature elements. But war veterans from the history books also had some additional help in the popularity of flight jackets spreading. When internationally known actor Tom Cruise wore his famous flight jacket in the jet cruising military hit movie "Top Gun" in 1986, flight jacket sales escalated and have continued to surge throughout the years.

Online retail shops such as www.landingzone.com carry authentic versions of this traditional outer gear such as the: G1 Flight Jacket, the A2 Flight Jacket and the A2 Flight Jacket. Enjoy the beautifully smooth leather, the ribbed cuffs and the dual entry pockets that have helped popularize flight jackets with pilots that fly above us and stylish civilians with their feet on the ground.
