When I first came upon these I thought they might be reproductions. Not so, upon examination I can safely say these are NOS mint condition. And yes.... They fit me!

Very nice! I wear just a regular pair of brown leather gloves with my jackets, but I've always been tempted to get a pair of issue gloves.

Great gloves, though they can look a bit odd with an A2 knit to knit if you get my drift. I have a pair of Eastmans, about 20 years old now but ordered mine without the AAF decal so can be worn with anything and look right.

I hear you. I wear them with standard leather jackets though. Don't own anything with knit sleeves

Take care of those man!!! HARD TO FIND!!! you got lucky I guess. I strongly urge you to buy another pair of more used ones Just to preserve these in NOS condition.

I have a pair of RCMP gloves dated 1963, I wear those Sparingly and barely open a door knob with them on. too precious.
