Top Gun Kelly McGillis Bomber Aviator Jacket

Charlie Blackwood Top Gun Jacket—Kelly McGillis Movie-Inspired Look in Bomber Style

The Top Gun, which stars Kelly McGillis, has this bomber jacket that was designed to pay homage to the 1986 film of the same name in which Kelly McGillis played the character of Charlie Blackwood, the confident astrophysicist and flight instructor who Maverick could not keep his eyes off of. In the film her style, which personified intelligence and ease at the same time, was on full display, and that is what this jacket brings out. From her time at the training school to her casual off-duty looks, the Charlie Blackwood Jacket was a hit—a subtle but present piece that tied into aviation culture and classic ‘80s cinema. As vintage style makes a comeback, this Top Gun jacket does double duty by also connecting to film history as well as modern streetwear trends; thus, it is a hit with film fans and fashion enthusiasts.

Product Specification:

Crafted from real and faux leather for that true-to-life yet budget-friendly look, our jacket comes in. We present to you the sleek black design, which at the same time is classic and very much a go-to piece. Inside we have a soft viscose lining, which not only gives the jacket a breathable quality but also a very comfortable feel for all-day wear. We put in a shirt-style collar for that well-put-together and classic touch as well as a zipper front, which gives a secure fit. Also note the full-length sleeves, which come in at belted cuffs, a detail that also plays a little into the aviation theme. For your convenience we added two side pockets without overdoing the design, which at the same time are very practical. Style it casual with some jeans or dress it up with some semi-formal wear; the Charlie Top Gun jacket works for any occasion.

To preserve your jacket’s premium look, always use a wide hanger for storage, which will in turn help maintain its shape. Stay away from direct sunlight for long periods of time, which will in turn protect the leather texture. For real leather, use a soft cloth for cleaning and also apply leather conditioner at times. For faux leather, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Store in a breathable garment bag.

Question: Why did Charlie don a black jacket in Top Gun instead of a flight suit?

Answer: Her character was a non-pilot civilian, which meant her wardrobe, like the Kelly McGillis jacket, was done up in professional elegance instead of military issue, which in turn highlighted her authority and individuality
