    Anj-3 makers?

    The leather on the Sporty's I have is a heavy as the heavier sample I received from US Authentic (USAs seal brown). It has great grain and seems tough, but lightweight. It's a great spring/fall jacket. Mine was made in the US, but I believe they are now made in Pakistan. From what I've read...

    Anj-3 makers?

    I have one of the Sporty's AN-J-3s from when they were made in the States and it is nice. Also take a look at Pop's Leather. Their G1 has a removable fur collar and is sweet in calfskin. Also, take a look at the Orchard jackets being offered on ebay. They will make you a G1 without the fur...

    G8 (Type 440) Jackets help requested

    Lewisskimonster, Don't go out of your way to get pictures. I don't blame you for not owning a cell phone. I held out for as long as I could, but my job and my two growing sons forced the issue and I had to relent. I just looked at an email from my buddy that showed different groups of teens...

    G8 (Type 440) Jackets help requested

    Lewisskimonster, Would you be able to post a photo or two of you wearing your USA G8. I don't know that I've actually seen anything other than a side shot of someone actually wearing a G8 jacket. I'd love to see it from the front. KELORGO

    What Do You Guys Think about an A1 Type with a Leather Collar?

    Pop's Leather makes an A1 with a leather collar. You can add some custom touches as well, like a partial or full Thinsulate zip-out liner. I hope the following link works. If not, go to Popsleather.com and go under military flight jackets. www.popsleather.com/prod_v2.php3?prod=10 KELORGO

    Due South and Constable Benton Fraser's Leather Jacket

    Sorry I can't help you out Treetopflyer. I watched that auction for a while and would have bid on the jacket if it didn't have the badge holder on the chest. I hope somebody can identify it for you (us)!

    US Coast Guard vs. Navy G-1 (G-1 experts, please help)

    I'm still trying to get a definitive answer on USCG G1 jackets and hand warmer pockets. I was going to sign up for the Coastie's flight forum, but its not taking any new users right now. I'll report any news back to FL.

    HH US Authentic A2 after 2 years of wear

    Yar and Asienizen, Are both of your A2s in Seal Brown HH? I have samples coming from Shaul, but the Seal Brown HH looks really dark (almost black) on some of his jackets and lighter on others. Thanks!

    US Coast Guard vs. Navy G-1 (G-1 experts, please help)

    Thanks, Aviator BRZ. I had no idea they issued G-1s to the USCG that far back. I don't know why, but I assumed they were a much newer issue. Ever since I've been interested in the G-1 I have read hundreds of threads online and have seen thousands of G-1s. Every issued G-1 that had/has hand...

    US Coast Guard vs. Navy G-1 (G-1 experts, please help)

    I've been interested in G-1s for a few years now, and in that time I've noticed that only the US Coast Guard G-1s are issued with hand warmer pockets. These are unobtrusive, since they are completely hidden behind the patch pockets on the front of the jacket. There are new Orchard G-1s listed...

    Top gun movie jacket

    Aerojoe, Try as I might, I can't read the spec tag on the Orchard furless collar Coast Guard G-1 that's listed on ebay. Whey I blow up the tag for size it's just to blurry to read. A different US Coast Guard G-1 that just sold on ebay had the following on its tag" Jacket, Flyer's...

    Top gun movie jacket

    Yup, there are G1s with hand warmer pockets from several manufacturers. Many are not mil-spec. The US Coast Guard issued G1s have hidden hand warmer pockets behind the patch pockets. Go on ebay and search for cowhide G1, and you'll see what I mean. As long as I've been interested in G1s (a...

    Top gun movie jacket

    Just thought of something... Can anybody here let me know when the Coast Guard began issuing G1s to their aircrew? I'm not sure if the Coast Guard G1s existed back in the 50s and 60s. Thanks!
