Measurements and fit detail.
“How many G-1’s is too many?” My wife would probably say “3” but my collection is currently around 20 (3 original M-422a’s, 6 or 7 original G-1’s from the 1950’s to the 1990’s, the rest are repro’s) but I’ve stopped counting. They are my all-time favorite leather jacket and I just keep finding...- thor

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Windy, cold, blustery day today and I was wearing my custom Willis & Geiger M-422a that was made for me by Mr. Steve Sellers. Hide is a midweight grainy French russet goatskin that feels quite luxurious and is buttery soft.- thor

Happy New Year everyone. I’ve added a repro Navy blood chit as an inside pocket on my 100-mission Cockpit G-1 and I covered the quasi-vintage M-422/G-1 Cockpit label with a replica Willis & Geiger M-422A label. This jacket is my new go-to G-1 for looks, comfort and styling. Really love the...- thor

Eastman B-17 W.A.S.P. Jacket for ladies.
Happy New Year @Big J! Yeah, a more fitted female uniform would’ve looked better but I suppose they just gave her whatever was on hand to keep her warm. Seeing Marilyn in that blue B-15 made the jacket instantly iconic for me.- thor

Eastman B-17 W.A.S.P. Jacket for ladies.
That’s an interesting story that your wife related @Deacon211. It reminds me of a Navy sea story: it was 1985, I was stationed aboard a Navy tugboat. Women were not allowed as crew aboard ships at that time, but they were allowed aboard harbor tugboats. My tug had a crew of ten, 6 men and 4...- thor

Eastman B-17 W.A.S.P. Jacket for ladies.
Just a quick word on Marilyn in Korea; she toured the country in January 1954. She performed 10 shows in 4 days, entertaining 100,000 troops. She wore military gear as she traveled, then changed in make-shift dressing “rooms” and performed in pin-up worthy gowns in the 30-degree winter...- thor

Cold rain, wind and fog out in the harbor. Wore my “new” Gibson & Barnes F-82 with a Filson moleskin vest. From the cockpit of an American Airlines Jet to the pilot house of a NYC ferryboat, this leather jacket is still serving as an official uniform :D- thor

29 degrees and blustery at 5:30am when I started work today and the BR Navy hook-front deck jacket kept me toasty warm. This jacket might just replace my G-1 as my daily work jacket!- thor
