Heres a fantastic example of L.W. Foster’s 1958 J-7238 (AER) G-1 jacket.
Its in fantastic, clean condition for its vintage. A bit of a rare find. A wearable-collectible one might say.
This is labelled as a size 40 and fits well in the body, with room for a light layer. Could say it fits like a...

The jacket is immaculate, clean, knits are still taught. Its in mint condition.
Reason for sale? I have three original G-1s that...

SHAMROCK SPITFIRE tells the story of Irish fighter pilot Brendan “Paddy” Finucane, who at the age of just 21, became the youngest ever Wing Commander in the Royal Air Force, and one of its greatest and most celebrated fighter aces during World War Two.
I've just received my Star G-1 back from having the knit parts replaced (I supplied the knit parts in this case), and the gentleman who did the work, Jules Bloom, did an amazing job. I'm very pleased.
He is an avid USN jacket fan and occasionally has jackets for sale also. He knows his stuff...
I was not planning another jacket in my wait for the GW A-2, but this opportunity came up and I couldn’t pass.
Its an incredible find, especially for being in the UK.
The jacket appears to be in superb, mint condition, time capsuled from the early 1960, a real treasure.
My problem is that the...
Decided to sell this as its not going to get the wear and love it deserves.
Cockpit makes an outstanding jacket, but I need to move some jackets.
This is new with tags, unworn, but for the fit pics.
Size 42, but comfortable/ generous 42 I'd say (if you are of regular build)...

AVI's new ANJ-3
This is their 'take' on the 1943 ANJ-3, essentially their M-422 with a leather collar, epaulets, regular left pocket and brown rayon lining.
As AVI says, its... "what they would have supplied the Quartermaster if they were producing jackets back in 1943"...
Its damn comfortable...

Hi all,
This was the first jacket I received, that was replaced with the 'updated' version (reviewed elsewhere).
The update included the label and hanger tab being moved up slightly, the wider left pocket and the extra row of stitching under the collar. Otherwise its exactly the same.
Gorgeous...
