Heres a fantastic example of L.W. Foster’s 1958 J-7238 (AER) G-1 jacket.
Its in fantastic, clean condition for its vintage. A bit of a rare find. A wearable-collectible one might say.
This is labelled as a size 40 and fits well in the body, with room for a light layer. Could say it fits like a...

Reason for sale? I have three original G-1s that...
Yes, thats right, I recall the Indian budget line.
I definitely recall there was a conversation around having jackets made in Paks also, or some enquiries that didn't pan out.

On a budget, cant go wrong with one of AVI Leather's Broncos.
I did a review on here somewhere.

SHAMROCK SPITFIRE tells the story of Irish fighter pilot Brendan “Paddy” Finucane, who at the age of just 21, became the youngest ever Wing Commander in the Royal Air Force, and one of its greatest and most celebrated fighter aces during World War Two.
I bought the knits from Aero, they are good. The cuffs are great, the waistband slightly thicker than most of my other high end repros. Ill try get a pic up today or tomorrow...
