Im lazy, copying this right from my VLJ post.
The G-1 i picked up a couple weeks ago arrived today, and I'm thrilled with it. I was lucky enough to pick it up for a very nice 125.00 on a BIN. It fits perfectly everywhere, except in that its a touch short. But, being tall you have to make a sacrifice or two. Its a Star Sportswear, I think 1969, but possibly a 65, the 9/5 on the label is incomplete. The goatskin is in excellent condition, virtually no wear at all, same with the lining and the collar. In fact, aside from the label and a few small resewn holes in the knits, I'd say its in pretty much issued condition.Im not sure if this is a Star house feature or common to G-1s in general, but the right pocket seems to be a 1/4 inch wider than the left. Also, the zip is strange. It looks like a Scovill but its not marked as one I've ever seen. Heres the pics, apologies in advance if they are a bit big.
I should add that the pictures really do not do it justice.
