Top Gun TOP GUN® creates authentic aviation apparel inspired by the legacy of the world’s elite fighter pilots. The Navy calls it the Fighter Weapons School.

From iconic leather flight jackets to aviation lifestyle gear, every piece carries the spirit of excellence and heritage. In 1969, the United States Navy established an elite training program designed to elevate the world’s best fighter pilots. Created in response to aerial combat losses during the Vietnam War, the program focused on mastering the lost art of air-to-air combat and producing the most skilled aviators in the skies. The pilots call it TOP GUN. Inspired by this extraordinary legacy, the TOP GUN® brand was founded in 1996 with a mission to bring authentic aviation heritage into the world of fashion. Today, TOP GUN® holds the exclusive worldwide rights to Top Gun® leather jackets and produces a full line of vintage aviation apparel, including flight jackets, military-inspired shirts, aviation sportswear, accessories, and lifestyle products for men, women, and kids. Every piece reflects the spirit of aviation excellence. Authentic squadron patches, historically inspired graphics, vintage military finishes, and premium materials tell the stories of pilots, aircraft, and missions that shaped aviation history. Our collections are designed not only as garments, but as tributes to the culture, precision, and discipline of the aviation community. Guided by a commitment to authenticity, the brand continues to evolve with the mentorship of Captain John “Lites” Leenhouts, a decorated 27-year Naval Aviator with more than 6,000 flight hours and 1,645 carrier landings. His experience helps ensure that every collection stays true to real aviation heritage. TOP GUN® represents more than clothing. It represents a community inspired by aviation, driven by creativity, and united by the pursuit of excellence. Our mission remains clear: to create the most authentic aviation apparel in the world.
