    Black G-1 Jackets?

    Although I am a traditionalist when it comes to G-1’s and almost all in my collection are brown, I did find a US Wings G-1 in black on eBay. It was in like-new condition and I got it for under $100. It is very well made with a super plush black mouton collar and the thick black pebbled goatskin...

    Golden Bear..pre1980?

    Your Golden Bear is a beauty! I just picked one up on eBay for only $70. Mine has a white label; not sure how to date these jackets. The white label jackets seem to be older but I really have no idea. Very well made jacket in a rare size 46 Long with a thick removable fur collar and awesome...

    WWII Era Jacket -Any Info?

    The jacket chest patch is reminiscent of a vintage Civil Air Patrol patch. Shoulder insignia is that of a Major. Jacket itself appears to be genuine vintage World War 2. I’m sure others can be more specific. Cool jacket!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Spent the day in the City, still breaking in my horsehide G-8 (made by U.S. Authentic). The hide is a gorgeous caramel russet, thick yet pliable, and it’s developing some really great graining/creasing.

    Buzz Rickson William Gibson MA-1 Flying Jacket, Tailored Cut sleeve fit?

    Hello and welcome to The Lounge. I am 6’ 1” with wide shoulders and a fairly muscular/athletic build and usually go for shirts with a 37” sleeve. I have a BR William Gibson MA-1 but in a size 46 Long. The sleeves are plenty long and the 46 seems to be a bit on the larger side. I probably could...

    Another wet & windy Nor’easter passed thru followed by a “bomb cyclone” with wind gusts of 60mph! This Mustang Survival jacket is perfect for this crazy weather.

    That is the BEST Lost Worlds civilian style jacket I’ve ever seen! Great custom design @John D Maccarter. I hope Stu adds this exact configuration to his regular LW line-up.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Here’s a bit of a curve ball: not my usual leather G-1 today. I picked up this Mustang Survival floatation jacket off the ‘bay in brand new condition for 1/3 the price of a new one. Most floatation jackets are big and bulky and made with a cheap shiny nylon shell; this one is very form fitting...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Wednesday October 2nd in NYC it was sunny, hot and humid and 90 degrees. The very next day a cold front moved in and we got rain and temperatures around 50 degrees! Crazy!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Got this nice Willis & Geiger wool jacket off the ‘bay. Has an inner plaid wool lining (basically two layers of wool in one jacket) so it’s plenty warm. Front cargo pockets, side handwarmer pockets plus an inside wallet pocket with button closure. Really a well-made jacket with great styling and...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Five Star Leathers russet goatskin M-422a with the Gordon & Ferguson label (the left pocket is slightly wider than the right as per G&F originals). The red lining they’ve used is cotton, not rayon or sateen. While certainly not 100% accurate, it’s very well made and has the overall look and...

    Cockpit USA mil spec G1 jacket

    I’ve got one of these Mil-Spec Cockpit G-1’s (patched up with various unit and qualification patches from my Navy career). It is definitely slimmer than their usual oversized G-1 jackets. However it does not have a seam at the front waistband (near bottom of zipper) that you see on almost every...

    G-1 Jacket Purchase

    I was going to ask the same question as @ElMarro did; who did the work on the jacket? Looks superb!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I thought my G-1 collection was “complete” (ha!) but I found a real gem: a 2002 Excelled Navy-issue G-1 in a rare size 48 Long that dates to the year and month that I was selected for advancement to Navy Chief (a major milestone to the lucky few in the Navy chosen for this position). Picked this...

    G-1 Jacket Purchase

    I just buy replacement knits online (a complete set runs about $30) and I have a local tailor do the job (been going to her for years and she does excellent work!).

    G-1 Jacket Purchase

    Wow that is a great looking D-series Brill Bros G-1! And that label is pristine. The 1968 year of manufacturing is very clearly marked. Plus the mouton fur is aged to perfection! Grab it! Just change the knits and enjoy a low-price vintage original.
