    Old pair of ww2 AN-T-35 USAAF trousers

    I'm not really sure what to do with these. They do have a few tears; the main one is the right ankle which reaches is about 1/3-1/2 way round; then there are 2-3 other small 2-3 inch tears. All small enough to repair if someone is so inclined. Two of the zippers work, and just need a good clean...

    Old pair of ww2 AN-T-35 USAAF trousers

    I just acquired this rather beat up pair of AN-T-35 flight trousers. Part of an estate sale; they were in with some totes and a tarp. I've been looking about on the web but have not found any with this particular label (on the inside seam, rather than int the centre middle. I thought that they...

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    I've owned a lot, and they all fit very differently. The best fit was a sz46 series-E by Ralph Edwards... but I sold it because the goat was thin and the zipper had been replaced to non-standard. I sort of regret it now. Another good fit was an old sz50 repro, but it is cow not goat. Currently...

    USN G1 STAR sz46 flight jacket 7823D ~1968-early 70's, goat leather

    I'm really glad it fits you. There's nothing like the look an feel of a proper vintage goat g1: it was a crime when they switched to cow, especially the squeaky stuff.

    USN G1 STAR sz46 flight jacket 7823D ~1968-early 70's, goat leather

    I wear a 48L in the modern repros. Maybe I could fit in a 46 or 48 of the old pre-7823 series as they were slightly larger. and most importantly, longer, but large sizes in those babies are very expensive. I've bought a few 46 G1's now and none are quite the right sizing for me. I even have a...

    USN G1 STAR sz46 flight jacket 7823D ~1968-early 70's, goat leather

    Thanks for the purchase. I got the shipping labels printed and it will be in the mail tomorrow! It's a nice jacket, wish I could fit in a vintage G1, but it's not going to happen I don't think.

    G1 Flight Jacket Needs Identifying.

    Good price for the larger size. If it is an official navy contract manufacturer then it looks like an E, but I am not convinced that it is. Looks like the pressed cow leather rather than goat (very few of the later dynal collar G1's have goat, although I have a goat E-series with the dynal...

    UK/Euro sellers of G-1 Flight Jackets and questions

    IIRC the current US Coast Guard regulation G-1's have side pockets, but the regular Navy do not, or aren't supposed to anyway.

    My G-1 Lineup (Others Invited)

    It's an 80's repro. Somewhere on it is likely to be one of those "made by original manufacturer" labels; usually on the inside of the zipper. They use waistband material for the cuffs (which feels a bit thick), the zipper is a scovill (ie late D-series/E-series equivalent), they have the...

    My G-1 Lineup (Others Invited)

    Here's a recent-ish acquisition: A size 46 "A"-series LW Foster contract (are these called "a" series, despite not carrying the letter?). Immaculate original collar and conmar zipper. This has the red/maroon shade to the goat hide that you see in some of the A-series.

    My G-1 Lineup (Others Invited)

    I have an unlabeled (presumed) E-series (probably a 48, since it's bigger than my 46's), and it's also a squeaker. All the Imperial Leather examples I have seen have been the squeaky cowhide, which is ~2 shades lighter brown than the seal-goathide that was used for the earlier series (and the...
