Iconic 1970s Brown Leather Goatskin G1 Flight Jacket with faux fur collar. Featuring front pockets and cuffed sleeves. Supersoft jacket, nicely broken in with bags of character. Very good condition. A real American classic
The G1 replaced the 1940s M422a in 1947 and has changed little over the 1950s, 60s and 70's. The major differences from its older WW2 brother are the rounding of the pocket flaps and the removal of the USN stamp to the inside 'gasflap' - now not being stenciled but bullet pressed onto jacket. Apart from early 1950s versions this became standard across all jackets.
The G1 is one still available to aviators of the USN & USMC although its fighting days have passed and, today seen more as a badge of the wearers status than a practical bit of war kit.

We want you to get the most out of your vintage clothes so knowing how to care for them is essential. With the right care, storage and a bit of TLC, your vintage garments will be worn for generations to come!
Storing vintage clothes
- Always keep your vintage garments in a dry, dust-free place away from direct sunlight to avoid fading and deterioration of fabric.
- Always hang up vintage garments to dry out perspiration instead of leaving them in a hamper until wash day.
- Always use wooden or padded hangers as wired hangers can ruin the fabric at the shoulders and cause rips over time.
- Always fold fragile silks, knits and beaded items carefully instead of hanging them.
- Do not store vintage garments in plastic bags or plastic storage containers as the fabric needs to breathe.
Washing vintage clothes
- Always read the care label and follow the washing instructions when available.
- Always check for loose seams, holes or frays before washing to avoid damaging the garment further.
- Always hand wash or dry clean vintage garments pre 1960s vintage as they are non machine washable. If the fabric is very old or delicate, good airing can often remove odour without damaging the garment.
- Always hand wash or dry clean silk, wool, velvet and any garment with beading. Please make sure your dry cleaner is experienced in vintage fabrics.
- Always hang up the vintage garments on a drying rack instead of drying them in the dryer.
- Attempt to wash your vintage garments less to avoid damaging the garment from repeated washing.

Label sizes of vintage garments are different to today's standardised clothing sizes and are sometimes not labelled at all. Through general wear and washing garment sizes do alter so we measure all our clothes to give our customers the most accurate indication of size. To help you work out which clothing size is right for you we have included examples of how we measure our garments.
