Hi All,
See my latest and grandfather of the USN G-1 jackets. Of special interest to USN jacket enthusiasts like my self.
The jacket seen below is an original size 40 and made by Switlik Parachute And Equipment Co. Arguably the most rare USN jacket that was ever made. According to my research...
Hi All,
I'm interested in sourcing a M-445B Monarch. Specifically the version with the short zipper & buttons.
Condition is not an issue. As I am more interested in simply obtaining it for a pattern.
Thanks, Dave
Hi All,
I 'm proud to have brought this one back and wanted to share it with the Forum members. This particular jacket represents a max effort on my behalf. Since being repaired this jacket is hardly recognizable with the basket case I started out with.
I hope you enjoy!
Cheers, Dave
Hi All,
Sometime back Dinerman passed along a jacket that I greatly admired & as seen here https://vintagehaberdashers.com/2012/10/31/monarch-leather-jacket/. Subsequently, I came up with my own design.
This redesigned Monarch Aviator of mine was spawned by Dinerman's original aviator style...

Hi All,
Just received my next restoration project that I am very excited about. After a careful inspection I see no issues and found this jacket to most definitely be a prime candidate for a complete overhaul. It has seen better days but will soon be back in shape.
Sometime in the past this...

Hi All,
Recently & in an attempt to make room for some recent purchases, I have decided to part with one of my jackets as it is simply to large for my frame and as a result rarely worn. It can be had for $650.00 to include S&H within the USA.
This fine jacket was featured in John Chapman's...
Hi,
I am specifically looking for a Medium to Large sized G-1. This particular jacket should have good working original small toothed aluminum Conmar zipper assembly. The overall condition of the jacket is not that important......
Thanks!
I am looking for a NOS aluminum small toothed zipper with brown fabric tape. These zippers were used predominately in on 7823 ( AER ) G-1 jackets during the 1950s.
