About Us

 

Gibson & Barnes is America’s largest manufacturer of high-quality, made-to-order, flight suits, uniforms, leather jackets, and flying helmets for aviation, emergency medicine, and law enforcement.

In the last 30 years we have outfitted more pilots, police officers, and EMS personnel than anyone else. Over 60,000 customers in extreme occupations use our products daily to do their jobs. We manufacture our products in our own 35,000 square-foot factory in El Cajon, California so you can have exactly what you want.

 

Aviation
Pilots all over the world rely on our aviation products when they're on the job.  You'll see our products in working cockpits everywhere including all branches of the Armed Forces, police helicopters, Air-medical, fire fighting, power-line patrol, and spraying crops.

 

Military
We make clothing and equipment for pilots in the U.S.Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. And in other countries, military pilots from Eritrea to Japan prefer our gear.  They know they can depend on us for first quality military clothing and equipment.
We outfit both the Navy’s Blue Angels, the USAF Thunderbirds and NASA's flight suits for the astronauts.  The Navy and Air Force both order our G-1 and A-2 leather flight jackets for their hard-to-fit aviators and VIPs. 

 

Police
When you see a police helicopter overhead or on television, you can be almost certain that Gibson & Barnes products are in the cockpit.   Tactical SWAT teams use our tactical uniforms for dynamic entry and our leather motorcycle and patrol jackets are used by police departments across the country. 

 

Emergency Medicine 

The doctors, nurses, paramedics, and pilots who fly in America’s Air-medical helicopters have saved thousands of lives while wearing our uniforms and helmets.  Ambulance personnel across the world use our uniforms and boots. We create their distinctive uniforms using custom-dyed fabrics, special reflective striping, custom embroidery, and special pockets for their trauma shears, penlights, and other gear. 

 

Leather Jackets
Our leather jackets combine the best patterns with the best leathers we can find.  The military jackets are authentic right down to the stitching, zippers, knit, lining, and other materials.   We designed our police leather jackets in consultation with working law-enforcement officers to make sure they have the features police officers need to do their jobs. We make all our leather jackets right in our own factory, so we can make any size you need, including made-to-measure jackets.  If you need a special pocket, unusual collar, or any other feature, we can probably make it for you.

Over 20,000 pilots wear Gentex flying helmets from Gibson & Barnes. We assemble the HGU-33, HGU-55 and HGU-68 jet fighter helmets from genuine, new Gentex parts and are the only company authorized by Gentex to distribute the SPH-5, HGU-56, and HGU-84 helicopter helmets in the United States.  Our avionics shop carries microphones and earphones from leading military suppliers and makes communications cords, amplifiers, and converters.  All our products are new, not used or surplus.
