Those do indeed look like very good replicas. I like my version with the epaulettes. Although my jacket is not a true military cut, it's fairly close. And for the price point, $400.00+ vs those two beauties, ... I think I can deal with any historical inaccuracies. Thankfully, I've been blessed...

Don't know how long it will last, but as of Sun. April 5 2020, there is a near mint M-69F listed on eBay. It's a Gordon and Ferguson, with a red satin liner. A real beauty!

It looks fine to me. I like to have a military cut, but for my taste I order one size larger, it gives me a little bit of room. I actually like to wear my jackets. I think you should wear it however it feels good to you. I have looked at countless vintage photos of pilots in world war II, and...

I certainly agree with you! It does not have a military cut. The lining of course is not authentic to the real one. It's a bit of a modern take on a classic original. Still like it though. Although it's still not a popular design among collectors, there's some, like myself, that venture off and...

It's a little bit loose. This was probably a modern cut, and not a military cut. I am okay with it, as I have several G-1 jackets size 42 that just are too tight. I wanted something a little bit looser. It's NOT baggy, it just has a little bit more room. I generally buy jackets now that are...

The bi swing back was done properly. Some cheaper quality jackets use very little leather in making the bi swing flaps deep. Some are just kind of for looks. Gibson & Barnes use plenty of leather to give you freedom of movement. I really don't know anything about Gibson & Barnes, but in terms of...

This has epaulets for rank. I also like the pleats that are on the inside jacket lining. This is a mega comfortable jacket!

The zipper is a modern-day zipper, but it's extremely good quality, it doesn't feel like it's going to break off in your hand. Lovely curve shape of the pocket flaps.

This was supposed to be a replacement for the A-2 jacket. They wanted to combine the best qualities of the G-1 Navy jacket, and the A-2 Army Air Corps jacket, and make a one standardized version to streamline things. Only a few were made (maybe 24- 48 no one's really sure) before the decision to...
