A fighter pilot's flightsuit from Tony Scott's action drama Top Gun. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (Tom Cruise) and his fellow pilots wore flightsuits during aerial operations at the US Navy's Fighter Weapons School and on board the USS Enterprise.

This military-issue flight suit with a size 42S chest and size 33 1/2 sleeve is made of sage green fabric, with a long zip running down the front and adjustable waistbands fastened with Velcro® at the hips. Zips and pockets are present along the legs, chest and arms, while a Western Costume Co. tag numbered 2507-1 and labeled "Top Gun" is sewn into the interior collar.

Part of the signature look of the naval aviators at the Top Gun academy was the array of squadron insignia. This suit features an American flag on the left shoulder, Pacific Fleet Adversary Squadron 126 and Tactical Wings Atlantic patches on the right chest, Velcro® for affixing a name patch on the left chest, and red thread remnants in the right sleeve where a badge was removed after production. The flightsuit is in good overall condition with staining and discolouration throughout from wear.
