I was checking news today and ran into this picture of Elon Musk wearing a G1-style jacket:
Wanting to have a close-up look I traced to the original event. If you can see the jacket close up, go to 1:09:48 as he stands up and sings. Seems like a G1-style jacket without the cuffs and with clip...
For those who are interested, AVI LTHR also updated a webpage on flight jacket history. It has quite some good quality images from WWII and earlier: https://avilthr.com/flight-jacket-history/
I'll move to another country for work soon so decided to sell it as I cannot take everything with. Up on Ebay for bidding. Grab yourself a bargain: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253598744742

For sale is my go-to beater, a Cockpit USA A-2 jacket size 42 Reissue style. Comes with tags. Fits up to a 44'' chest but is ideal for 42'' or smaller. Nice cut and looks very authentic.
I have owned it for 2 years but after careful consideration, I decided to only keep my AVI G1 jacket as my...
I'm actually watching The War Lover right now and, man, had this B3 been a 42 regular I might have just put the trigger on it! Good luck with the sale! The person who takes it will be a lucky guy!
Two-week old deck hook jacket that has only been tried on and worn outside once. Condition is like new and can come with the original tags. No stains, tears, or visible flaws. It is a generous size 42 and it fits a 44-46 better. The sleeve length is the killer for me. I'm 5''8, 80kg with shorter...
Not only has the seller accused my intention but has demanded that I pay a good will in wasting his time. I had offered, in kind gesture, to bear the shipping costs. Yet he kept demanding good will and tricking me into settling the dispute privately. He even said he could have just ignored me...
Indeed. Even the YKK zipper feels quite nice to use. I noticed only a handful of negative details upon close:
1. The way the buttons under the collar are sewn reminds me of the loose buttons of a Alpha Industries M65 jacket I used to have.
2. The fur on the belt under the collar seems to be...
Hi Edward, thanks a lot for your comment. I forgot to comment on Fedora that Gary from ELC and BR Europe helped me and confirms that this is not an authentic BR jacket. Some other tiny details of the jacket also affirms my suspicion that this is most likely not authentic.
Hi all, I just received this jacket privately. The seller said it's a Buzz Rickson B-15 he bought over a decade ago. The quality is solid and feels like a brand new BR product. The color is khaki-brownish that I cannot find on Google. Besides the AVG patch, there's also no Army AF stencil...
