DESCRIPTION & MEASUREMENTS
Authentic/original US Navy G-1 flight jacket from 1969 (Vietnam War era), made by The Martin Lane Co. Inc. under official USN contract DSA 100-69-C-1545 (not a reproduction!).
Goatskin leather with a superb natural grain and original Dynel faux-sheepskin collar. The jacket displays a beautiful, even patina consistent with its age, as well as traces of former military patches and Velcro, testifying to actual service use (not just a surplus item, but a piece genuinely worn by a pilot!). Very good overall condition; supple leather, clean lining with no flaws, original collar, knit cuffs and waistband in good overall condition.
Note: Replacement YKK zipper, a few skipped stitches on the right cuff, and slight natural wear on the leather (see photos). -> Very good condition for a piece over 55 years old!!

SIZE GUIDE
Choosing the right size for second-hand clothing can require more attention than buying new. Cuts, fabrics, brands and previous washing can all affect how a garment fits.
We therefore do not rely only on the size label: each piece is measured by hand to help you choose accurately.
