    The Hot Water treatment-

    I will ask a question in this thread, to not create a new one just to ask this. I've bought an G-1 jacket (an original military-issued) from 70's and it was never worn. The leather is completely, how can i say, flat/plain? It do not have the normal "wrinkles" from an used leather jacket. So...

    Gordon and Ferguson M422a

    Beautiful jacket. :eusa_clap It's amazing how people can keep it brand new for almost 70 years. I'm wondering, how many jackets each aviator/or officer received in those days, to be able to storage one without use. The only problem with have this kind of jacket is not have courage to wear it...

    Top gun movie jacket

    I Never grabbed an Cockpit's G-1 Vintage model in my hands, but in pictures the jacket looks pretty nice. Look what I've found, an mil. spec. MIL-J-7823E(AS), from Orchard M/C Dist. Inc., contract DLA100-86-C-0481. And it have side entries on the front pockets. :confused: [huh]

    Top gun movie jacket

    Actually the jacket used on the movie pretty much looks like an 7823(AER) in terms of design. The color of the mounton collar and the pocket flaps have the correct design from 50's in the jacket from the movie. According the movie history, that jacket belong to Maverick's father. In the movie...

    Top gun movie jacket

    In this scene you can clearly see that the side of the pocket have an entry and it's not stitched to the front panel. The jacket from the movie could had being custom made to fit perfectly in the actor (Tom Cruise), and then distressed to looks aged. Because there's no way to "ADJUST" a G-1...

    Top gun movie jacket

    Unfortunately there's no good replica in the market. You'll have to study about it and create your own. Try to find a jacket with a perfect fit and with same design, then buy the good patches and... do it yourself. It's the only way. I was wondering... AND IF THE MAVERICK'S JACKET, NOT HAD...

As I live outside U.S. i don't had too much personal contact with people...
