Avirex su kupili Italijani 2006 godine. Komercijalizovali su ga skroz. Sada prave vise neke fancy stvari. U Manuelu kod nas se prodaju Avirexovi proizvodi a u Army Shopu se prodaju Cockpitove jakne. Razlika je primetna. Cockpit je nastavio sa grubom i debelom kozom dok je Avirex postao vise smekerica.
Mi smo prosle godine poceli sa proizvodnjom slicnog programa samo sa nasim amblemima:

Avirex valja na kvarno lik iz Ns-a i sve su teski falsifikati, al on je satro zastupnik.

Svaka čast, jakne izgledaju EXTRA, mnogo mi se dopadaju.

Da se malo ukljucim u ovu temu koja me kao kolekcionara militarije i vazduhoplovstva veoma interesuje. Pored B-3 modela koji je kod nas popularan postoje i njegove pretece u vidu RAF-ovih jakni, najpopularnija tokom WW2 bila je IRVIN jakna, nazvana po njenom tvorcu Lesliju Irvinu koji je ako se ne varam 1926 konstruisao jaknu koja je za to vreme trebala da odigra svoju glavnu ulogu a to je da pilota zastiti od hladnoce. Tokom rata originalni dizajn je nesto izmenjen u tzv. pattern 2 zbog ustede materijala. Danasnje B-3 su odlicno napravljene ali ne odovaraju originalu iz rata koji je umesto sadasnjih dzepova imao zamo jedan klap dzep koji je bio namenjen za cuvanje mapa i druge dokumentacije.

Danas po ekskluzivnoj licenci RAF-a IRVIN jakne proizvodi firma Aviation-Leathercraht deo sistema Moto-LIta, B-3 se moze pronaci u vise izdanja moja preporuka za sve ljubitelje je Cockpit (firma nastala kao naslednik prvobitnog Avirex-a)

Evo nekoliko slika jakni koje sam do sada uspeo da prikupim i koje pored toga sto stoje kao deo kolekcije imaju i prakticnu primenu

Vole bih da se neko jos ukljuci u ovu temu.

Redom na slikama : Avirex B-3, Alpha B-3, Aviation Leathercaft IRVIN, Mil-Tech IRVIN pattern 42, Avirex G1 jubilarno izdanje

Pozdrav

Vidim da je drugar iznad dobro upućen u materiju pilotskih jakni.

Nego,gde ima u blizini da se nabave i po kojim cenama?

Cekaj, znaci hoces da kazes da ono sto se prodaje u Bg-u i Ns-u nije Avirex tj. da je plagijat odnosno kopija?? Kako je onda moguce da se sluze javno imenom "Avirex" ako nisu original? Valjda bi ih neko tuzio zbog toga, mada ovo je luda zemlja i sve je moguce... Pozz

Jeff i Jacky Clyman prodali su Avirex za slijedeće teritorije:
SAD - Mark Ecko Enterprises, novi su vlasnici Avirex brenda za američki teritorij za Hip hop i Avirex sportsku modnu liniju
Europa - Avirex S.p.A. Milano, Italija, preuzeli su za svoje odjevne linije Avirex ime i Avirex zaštitni znak za teritorij Europe
Japan - Ueno Shokai, preuzeli su za svoje odjevne linije Avirex ime i Avirex zaštitni znak za teritorij Japana


Clymanovi su po prodaji Avirexa obustavili sav Avirexov vojni i klasični avijatičarski program i prebacili pod novo ime kompanije Cockpit USA Inc. te se današnji Avirex brend koji je u vlasništvu drugih kompanija ne dovodi u nikakvu vezu s Cockpit USA Inc.

Sorry evo odgovor na tvoje pitanje malo je tema kompleksnija pa ću nastojati razjasniti:

Jacky Clyman, vlasnica kompanije Cockpit USA Inc. (nekadašnji Avirex Ltd.) mi je jednom napisala da svatko u svijetu može sašiti pilotsku jaknu ali bitno je tko ju je sašio i kakve je kvalitete te da li prati originalnu vojnu specifikaciju američke vojske. Clymanovi su osnovali Avirex LTD. 1975 godine u New Yorku sa svrhom da održe proizvodnju pilotskih i mornaričkih kožnih jakni koje su nosili američki piloti i marinci u Drugom Svjetskom ratu. Kasnije su tijekom razvoja kompanije u osamdesetima i devedesetima proširili asortiman na sportsku Avirex odjeću, Hip-Hop odjeću, obuću, accessories, itd. Stvorili su ogroman kapital u svojem uhodanom svjetski poznatom brendu Avirex. Naravno da su odlučili prodati Avirex jer su odlučili prekinuti lošu reputaciju brenda zbog ogromnog broja falsifikata pilotskih Avirex jakni i trend proizvodnje u Kini i Koreji zbog loše izrade. Prodali su 2005 godine Avirex licencu i Avirex ime za regiju Europa, Japan i SAD i time zaradili ogromne pare i ujedno rekli svijetu ''evo vam Avirex i šivajte što hoćete imate sada licencu i ljepite Avirex ime i logo na Avirex smeće kojeg ćete prodavati samo u okviru Europe i Japana ali američko tržište držimo mi, obitelj Clyman sa našim novim brendom Cockpit USA Inc. i kompanija Mark Ecko Enterprises koja je kupila i vodi Avirex brend za američko tržište za Avirex HIP-HOP i sportsku odjeću''. Svaki poznavatelj koji se imalo razumije u originalne specifikacije pilotskih i mornaričkih bomber jakni zna što je original i autentičnost i bira najbolje. Clymanovi su broj jedan u svijetu i od 2005 godine njihova kompanija COCKPIT USA INC. proizvodi isključivo u SAD-u pod sloganom ''Proudly made in USA''.
COCKPIT USA INC. je službeni ugovorni opskrbljivač za A-2 jakne za Američko ratno zrakoplovstvo (U.S.A.F.) i također za za G-1 jakne za Američku obalnu stražu.
Svatko tko želi imati original jaknu lako će zbrojiti da su 2 i 2 četiri odnosno COCKPIT USA INC. Sve je lako naručiti ''online'' izravno sa Cockpitovih stranica www.cockpitusa.com
a tko ima priliku nama najbliži Cockpitov distributer je u Madridu koji također ima online prodaju ili u njihovom dućanu (ima adresa na njihovoj stranici) http://www.forpilotsmadrid.es/cazadoras-cockpit-usa.php


Cockpit USA Inc. ove godine izdao je ponovno ali u ograničenoj seriji jaknu TOP GUN NAVY G-1 MOVIE HEROES upravo onakvu kakvu su 1986 godine izradili za film TOP GUN koju je nosio Tom Cruise. Jakna se može kupiti direktno sa njihovih Cockpit stranica ali požurite jer se radi o ograničenoj seriji ''limited edition'': http://www.cockpitusa.com/store/product.php?productid=17627&cat=398&page=1

Ova jakna je jedina na svijetu koja je original jer je upravo Cockpit USA (Jeff i Jacky Clyman) koji su 1986 godine izradili istu za film Top Gun!


Evo ovdje sam na Wikipediji sve napisao o kompaniji COCKPIT USA INC. (nekadašnji Avirex LTD.) http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockpit_USA


Cockpit USA, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cockpit-USA/52433295208

Pošto je ovdje topic nekadašnji Avirex (odnosno novo ime Cockpit USA), u svojoj kolekciji imam naravno i nekoliko nekadašnjih Avirex LTD. jakni koje su sve naravno proizvedene u Americi u New Yorku. Vrlo su vrijedne i vjerojatno na kolekcionarskom tržištu dostižu cijenu oko 1.000€. Donosim ovdje svoje slike da razbijemo tabu temu ''kako izgleda original jakna nekadašnjeg Avirexa''. Kao prvo, u unutrašnjosti jakne ispod specifikacije jakne definitivno mora biti markica sa američkom zastavom Made in USA Avirex LTD. Ukoliko jakna nema ovu markicu to nije original jakna nekadašnjeg američkog Avirexa. Boja ove markice u osamdesetima je bila bijela a u devedesetima pa sve do prodaje Avirexa 2005 god. crne boje kao na mojoj jakni. Drugo, jakna mora biti masivna i teška odnosno moja jakna teška je oko 5 kg. Izrađena je od antikne janjeće kože koja nakon određenog vremena nošenja ubrzo daje izgled ''100 misija - 100 Mission look, Battle worn look'' odnosno vjerno simulira izgled jakne iz Drugog Svj.rata. Uz svaku jaknu neovisno o tipu jakne dolazio je certifikat o autentičnosti i knjižica potpisana od strane Jeffa Clymana, vlasnika i osnivača kompanije Avirex LTD. (danas Cockpit USA) te na poleđini knjižice adresa kompanije Avirex LTD. - Long Island City, New York, a što također ovdje prilažem. Službena kataloška šifra tipa jakne Top Gun G-1 #201306 (SKU) navedena je na poleđini certifikata autentičnosti jakne što se vidi iz priloženog. O izgledu moje TOP GUN NAVY G-1 jakne prosudite sami, znači gledate u original autentičnu jaknu nekadašnjeg Avirexa (danas Cockpit USA)! Ukoliko vaša AVIREX TOP GUN jakna ne izgleda ovako odnosno ako imate neki drugi tip Avirexove jakne a svejedno nema etiketu MADE IN USA AVIREX LTD. onda nemate original Avirex jaknu.
Svejedno nema veze jer Cockpit USA trenutno ima puno aktualnih ''limited edition'' pilotskih i mornaričkih jakni pa niste ništa propustili i stignete nabaviti svoj original !

E super objasnjenje! Mada sam i znao od ranije da je ono sto je nekad bio Avirex sada je Cockpit USA. Evo ja sam uradio nekoliko fotki moje jakne koju sam kupio 2004. Aj pa mi reci sta mislis... Pozdrav

Ako unutar jednog od frontalnih džepova ima ušivenu ovakvu malu crnu etiketicu na kojoj žutim slovima piše AVIREX onda je jakna njihova i original je. Pogledaj sliku, uslikao sam na jednoj svojoj jakni. Slobodno pitaj ako te još šta zanima.




I ovdje jedan članak o Avirexu sa Jeffom i Jacky Clyman iz New Yorškog Daily News iz 1999 godine gdje su Clymanovi izjavili kako su još 1996 godine prodali podružnicu za Avirex u Francuskoj. Vrlo vjerojatno da imaš baš njihovu jaknu. 2005 godine Clymanovi su kompletno prodali Avirex brend za Europu kojeg su kupili talijani iz Milana.

HIGHFLYING CLOTHES MAKER FIRM SELLS STYLES THAT ECHO WWII
By CLAIRE SERANT

Tuesday, March 23th 1999, 2:10AM

Avirex USA, a Long Island City sportswear company heavily influenced by World War II aviator fashions, is taking its ever-growing product line to new heights.

"We're happy that people like what we create," said Jeff Clyman, president of the Queens company that has World War II history buffs, entertainers and fashion lovers snapping up Avirex' trademark A-2 leather bomber and varsity jackets, jeans, sweaters, baseball caps, sunglasses and watches.

Now, the company Clyman launched as a Manhattan mail-order enterprise for aviation nostalgia in 1975 has spread its wings beyond its jackets coveted by such hip hop luminaries as Mase, Sean (Puffy) Combs and Lord Tariq.

Last year, Avirex extended its product line to include shoes and boots for boys and men. Starting this fall, the company's retail line will include jeans wear for junior girls and outerwear for women. Also, an expanded children's clothing line will be added under a license agreement with Haddad Apparel for the U.S. market.

"If we hadn't moved to Queens in the 1980s, we wouldn't have grown," Clyman, 53, a lawyer turned retailer, said of Avirex' 13 years in the borough. The push for growth comes at a time when space at the company's 600,000-square-foot headquarters located on 47th Ave. at 31st St. is at a premium.

"We're thinking about expanding our space, but it's expensive," said Jacky Clyman, 51, Avirex' executive vice president and Clyman's wife. The Clymans and their partner Frank Marchese, Avirex' head designer, oversee a factory outlet on 47th Ave. two blocks away. Avirex has a Manhattan showroom, appropriately named The Cockpit, on Broadway, and its products can be found at some specialty department stores.

The company is part of the $1 billion-a-year fashion industry niche that hawks urban wear and sportswear. Reported sales for the privately held company top $150 million worldwide.

"We wanted to replicate the wonderful old jackets that were important to fighting men. We wanted to keep history alive," Jacky Clyman said. Ever since actor Tom Cruise donned an Avirex Navy G-1 bomber jacket in the movie "Top Gun" in 1986, the company has taken off. Brief turbulence occurred in the early '90s, when Avirex streamlined its operations and scaled back its 150-strong work force to its current 100 employees.

"The economy was slow in the U.S. and worldwide. The apparel industry was undergoing changes in attitudes and customer needs," Jacky Clyman recalled. "We curtailed our mail-order operation. It was not profitable because of printing and mailing costs."

Although a French subsidiary was sold three years ago and the company's mail-order venture has been scaled back, Avirex officials insist their U.S. market is strong. "Eighty per cent of our sales come from the U.S. and 20% come from Europe and Japan," Jacky Clyman noted.

Avirex produces "speciality outwear" for major companies such as CompUSA, 20th Century Fox and the sponsors of the Grammy Awards. The firm also has a contract with the U.S. Air Force to provide servicemen and women with A-2 leather jackets.

On the retail side, Avirex' core customer base, 85% men and 15% women, ages 18 to 49, don't balk at paying $300 and up for "high-quality leather goods," Jacky Clyman pointed out. Garments made for the U.S. market are cut in Long Island City and finished in the tri-state area. Goods designated for the international market are made overseas.

"They're growing quickly. Avirex' bold logo appeals to young people. They're urban . . . but very sporty as well. You see a lot of Avirex in the city, said Kimberly Friday, fashion editor with Outerwear, a monthly trade magazine.

"I like the [leather] quality and the style. I saw someone at school with it. I had never seen it before," said Keith Jones, 19, a hotel/restaurant management major at Norfolk State University in Virginia, as he browsed through the Avirex factory outlet.

And the sportswear brand has a universal appeal, observed Michael Whitfield, 25, an assistant manager at Avirex' factory outlet.

"We get black, Hispanic, Asian customers. They've seen the jackets in [music] videos and in magazines," Whitfield said.

Gregory Shaw, 26, a Long Island City telemarketer, loves wearing his matching Avirex jeans shirt and pants.

"It's a unique style of dress. It's comfortable," said Shaw, a Manhattan resident who owns three Avirex jackets.

That's music to the Clymans' ears.

"People believe in our products. If we say something is well-made . . . customers know it," Jeff Clyman said.

I ovdje još jedan članak koji govori o prodaji Avirexa 2005 godine i kako su počeli iznova sa COCKPIT USA !
Zanimljivo za pročitati i saznati činjenice!

Posted On Apparel: 12/11/2009

Cockpit USA
Stacey Kusterbeck
While flying vintage military planes at air shows in the mid-1970s, Jeff Clyman noticed that at times, the audience seemed almost as interested in his attire as they were in his aviation skills. Bystanders frequently asked where they could get a jacket like his - Clyman usually wore either his father's or uncle's WWII leather flight jacket.

Clyman began selling surplus jackets by mail order, but real ones were getting hard to find. Thus was born a unique and profitable business making authentic replicas of vintage jackets for the commercial market, sold under the Avirex brand, through The Cockpit catalog.

Wearing flight jackets as a fashion statement was a new concept back then, and it was a big hit. "It wasn't just people who were interested in wearing a flight jacket for what it represented, but as a cool piece of Americana clothing," says Jacky Clyman, the company's executive vice president.

The jackets resembled vintage ones in every way but one - they looked brand new. "People would always tell my husband that they wanted a jacket that looked just like his, but they didn't want to spend 20 years waiting for it to look old," says Clyman. Working with a number of tanneries, a process was eventually perfected to come up with what ended up being called "distressed"leather or sheepskin - another new concept at the time.

Niche No. 2

The company found a secondary clothing niche with its Avirex brand, making retro collegiate jackets to resemble team jackets of the 1930s. "We brought the varsity or stadium jacket to the fashion world. And that became a huge hit," says Clyman. That business developed multiple offshoots, licenses and an international business.

Meanwhile, Cockpit USA opened up its own aviation-themed retail stores in New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle and London - yet another first for the company. "Themed stores were not common back then. And if you put yourself in the mentality of the 1970s, retailers did not understand a brand having its own store or catalog,"says Clyman. For this reason, the store was called Cockpit instead of Avirex.

Demand for flight jackets surged in the mid-1980s with the release of the movies "The Right Stuff" and "Top Gun,"and sales tripled in one year. Another pivotal moment came when Cockpit USA became the official supplier to the U.S. Air Force for its pilot's leather A-2 jacket. "We were already making the replica jacket. At the time it was not part of the uniform, and we worked with their clothing development board to reissue the jacket for the 40th anniversary of the Air Force," says Clyman. "We started delivering those jackets in 1987 and continue to do so now."

Reinvention comes

In late 2005, the company accepted an offer to sell the Avirex brand, mostly known for high-end varsity leather jackets and related varsity sportswear. "We became an international brand under Avirex and in 2006, we basically started up again. We are now a small company again. Which actually, we enjoy greatly," says Clyman. "With a small company, everyone has their hands in everything, from design to marketing."

After "relaunching" the company as Cockpit, it next developed a new line of Americana-themed sportswear under the CPT (Civilian Pilot Training) Cockpit brand, which is sold at Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and in specialty boutiques. "We developed a whole line of sportswear with the same kind of attitude and quality as the military has when they develop their clothing,"says Clyman. "Unfortunately the financial crisis hit us just as we were getting some traction, but our shirts, T-shirts and outerwear are selling through very well. We are very excited."

Following its company relaunch, in November 2007 the company relaunched its single retail store in Manhattan (which had originally opened in 1986) as Cockpit USA General Store, and at that time began selling other "iconic" or "authentic" brands in addition to its own, spotlighting those brands using a new "shop within a shop"concept. The brand's entire product line is sold in-store for two months, with the best-selling items carried regularly thereafter. "We use our store to either feature authentic brands, or to launch them," says Clyman. "Two years ago we became the only retail store carrying Pendleton products, a brand which was not seen in New York in years and years."

As for e-commerce, plans are in the works to expand Cockpit USA's online retail channel. "It used to be that your customers did not want you to compete with them, but now it's an accepted way of doing business," says Clyman. "So this is becoming more of a focus for us now."

In four decades, the company's focus on classic, vintage Americana hasn't changed a bit. Neither has the fact that most of its production is done domestically, mostly at facilities in the New York and New Jersey area. "That's always been something we tried to keep in our development," says Clyman. "If you stand there and say that you are making classic American apparel, it means a lot that you are actually producing it in the U.S.A."

QUICK TAKES

Preserving Craftsmanship
The Clymans are considering training young people to continue the fast-disappearing art of hand cutting and sewing leather jackets. "These are skilled cutters, and the next generation is not following in their footsteps. It will be interesting to see what happens when these people retire," says Clyman.
Honoring History
After a lifetime of collecting WWII aircraft and memorabilia, the Clymans founded their own museum on the military history of flight. The American Airpower Museum opened in Farmingdale, NY in 1993 and is 90 percent volunteer-run. The goal is to teach current and future generations "about the people and machines that were instrumental in protecting our freedom," says Clyman.
