Army Flight Jacket Stenciled G-1 Real Mouton 1952 Vintage RARE! This is a G-1 flight jacket that I personally imported from the United States. The collar fur is real mouton. You can tell from the contract no. Monarch manufactured the 55J14, the predecessor of the G-1, and is regarded as an exquisite design and sewing among the many G-1s. In particular, this 1951 G-1 was the last G-1 for the Navy, and as such, the USN stencil on the back of the collar makes this year a milestone gem as the last flight jacket. As such, there are numerous reproductions, but this item is unmistakably authentic. The shape of the zipper and the maker are indicative of this. As for details, the waist ribs are single (one piece) with two different knitting techniques. There is damage to the sleeve ribs, but it is not noticeable as they shrink when worn. The size is 40 and the width is 55 cm. As a rough guide, I think it is a good size for those who measure their chest circumference from the outside of a sweatshirt, etc. And find it to be around 100 cm. By the way, the shoulder width in a straight line is 48. The length is 64. I think it is easy to understand if you compare it with the jacket you usually wear. The number of G-1s with USN stencil on the back of the neck has decreased considerably, even in the U. And they are not seen very often anymore. The leather is goatskin of the time. This goatskin is so waterproof that it is used for water bottles, and since it is not used for leather goods today, replicas are surprisingly expensive. The leather is in very good condition, with no hardened areas. G-1s from this era are becoming hard to find even in the U. So the price is a little high, but we think you will be satisfied. As you know, the G-1 became famous in the movie Top Gun. In the movie “Top Gun, ” Tom Cruise wears this flight jacket, which matches the material of the collar and the age of the film. Depending on the location, we may require a few additional days. We may use reused packing materials. We will deliver with care. International Buyers – Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.
