    RARE TYPE AN-J-3 FLIGHT JACKET

    Those do indeed look like very good replicas. I like my version with the epaulettes. Although my jacket is not a true military cut, it's fairly close. And for the price point, $400.00+ vs those two beauties, ... I think I can deal with any historical inaccuracies. Thankfully, I've been blessed...

    U.S.N M-69F LEATHER LONG COAT

    Don't know how long it will last, but as of Sun. April 5 2020, there is a near mint M-69F listed on eBay. It's a Gordon and Ferguson, with a red satin liner. A real beauty!

    Is this jacket too long?

    It looks fine to me. I like to have a military cut, but for my taste I order one size larger, it gives me a little bit of room. I actually like to wear my jackets. I think you should wear it however it feels good to you. I have looked at countless vintage photos of pilots in world war II, and...

    RARE TYPE AN-J-3 FLIGHT JACKET

    I certainly agree with you! It does not have a military cut. The lining of course is not authentic to the real one. It's a bit of a modern take on a classic original. Still like it though. Although it's still not a popular design among collectors, there's some, like myself, that venture off and...

    RARE TYPE AN-J-3 FLIGHT JACKET

    It's a little bit loose. This was probably a modern cut, and not a military cut. I am okay with it, as I have several G-1 jackets size 42 that just are too tight. I wanted something a little bit looser. It's NOT baggy, it just has a little bit more room. I generally buy jackets now that are...

    RARE TYPE AN-J-3 FLIGHT JACKET

    The bi swing back was done properly. Some cheaper quality jackets use very little leather in making the bi swing flaps deep. Some are just kind of for looks. Gibson & Barnes use plenty of leather to give you freedom of movement. I really don't know anything about Gibson & Barnes, but in terms of...

    RARE TYPE AN-J-3 FLIGHT JACKET

    This has epaulets for rank. I also like the pleats that are on the inside jacket lining. This is a mega comfortable jacket!

    RARE TYPE AN-J-3 FLIGHT JACKET

    The zipper is a modern-day zipper, but it's extremely good quality, it doesn't feel like it's going to break off in your hand. Lovely curve shape of the pocket flaps.

    RARE TYPE AN-J-3 FLIGHT JACKET

    This was supposed to be a replacement for the A-2 jacket. They wanted to combine the best qualities of the G-1 Navy jacket, and the A-2 Army Air Corps jacket, and make a one standardized version to streamline things. Only a few were made (maybe 24- 48 no one's really sure) before the decision to...

    RARE TYPE AN-J-3 FLIGHT JACKET

    This is a quality AN-J-3 replica made by Gibson & Barnes. The real jacket is extremely rare, this replica is somewhat rare in the fact that Gibson & Barnes did not make many of them, and are no longer making them. The quality of the materials is very good! They used high quality veg tanned, and...

    U.S.N M-69F LEATHER LONG COAT

    Thank you for commenting I appreciate it! Yes, the chances of you finding one in the thrift store are slim to none. But you might find one in an antique store. I've seen two in my years of going to antique stores. Do not look for your size in this coat. They run big. Mine is a size 38. I wear...

    BLUE L-2A FLIGHT JACKET WITH PATCHES

    Extremely good eye! Those are army wings. The L-2B that I posted, has the correct wings. I have no idea what the current wings would be for today's air Force. I wonder if they still use metal, or if it's only on cloth now? Perhaps they have metal wings for dress uniforms still?

    STEVE McCOLGAN A-2 WITH LEATHER PATCHES

    If anybody here has a Steve Mccolgan flight jacket that had patches that were original to the jacket, I would like to hear from you and or see what yours looks like. I've just not seen any others, they are usually without adornment. I know Steve made jackets for movies, could this possibly be a...
