The G-1 is synonymous with U.S. Navy flight jackets, of which this is an actual vintage 1971 contract (DSA 100-71-C-0535 ). It is manufactured by the long-established STAR SPORTSWEAR MFG. CO. and is still highly popular today. Size 44 is a popular size.

The material is seal brown leather with a heavy texture and grainy feel. It is lined with a damage-free nylon quilted liner and a dark brown mouton boa at the collar. This is a complete style filled with the aesthetics of the 70's G-1. The size is the popular 44 (L-XL equivalent). This is a golden size that Japanese people can easily adopt, and it goes well with modern fashion. The thick leather and windproof construction make it highly practical as a heavy outerwear in winter, and it has a presence that does not end at mere military wear.

Attractive custom paint has been added to this unit. A squadron (troop) type leather patch on the left chest, large USN (U.S. Navy) letters on the back of the collar, and the U.S.S. TICONDEROGA (Ticonderoga) ship name on the back in white are all painted with an austere custom that reminds us of the carrier-based aircraft culture of that time (* both (These are later customizations and not from that time).

The leather is in excellent condition, with no tears or losses on the body, and the sleeve ribs and hem knit are in perfect condition. A piece with this much atmosphere and practical use is very rare nowadays.

This is a one-of-a-kind vintage piece that can be worn as it is with real "men in the sky" equipment. Don't miss out on this one, filled with history and military spirit. This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please note that this is a pre-owned item and cannot be returned.
