Free Delivery on Orders over £50
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 aviailable 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.

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.
