Cockpit
When I think of aviator fashion, I think of bomber jackets, goggles, distressed wovens, durability and craftsmanship. It's a very specific look lost to the advancement of time but designer Jeff Clyman (founding member of Avirex) updates the look with his new menswear label Cockpit.
Inspired by machines known for power and adventure, Cockpit sets itself apart from other menswear labels by offering something classic and timeless. The Spring/Summer 2007 collection harkens to a bygone era of American culture but manages to update the look with modern cut, fit, washes and treatments. You've got your graphic tees, your blazers, knits and chinos but it's the outerwear I'm really impressed with. The military inspired look is void of current trends, instead relying on a soft distressed look, interesting collars, multiple pockets and muted masculine colors.
There are some really standout pieces here and so perfect for the man who wants to look fashionable without feeling trendy. Who says the sportsman and adventurer can't look good?

Is it just me, or is there a smiley face inside the hood of that second jacket?
