1965-ish Ralph Edwards G-1, Size 42, Goatskin, Really Nice Condition - fit pics added

Pics added to show fit - I am 6'3, 195lbs, 32" waist, 41" chest.

I bought this about a year ago, decided it is too nice to wear as an every day. The jacket fits snug on me, but the gusseted arms make it extremely comfortable, with great freedom of movement. You can stick your arms straight out and the cuffs dont move. I could play baseball in this thing!

I am by no means an expert on old flight jackets, but based on researching the numbers on the label, it appears to date from around 1965. Actual experts can feel free to weigh in if my estimate is off. It is in remarkable condition for its age: Other than a few very small 'chips' in the goatskin, and a couple of flaws in the knit cuffs and waistband (see pics) it could almost pass for new. The lining is especially clean (see pic). Email with any questions.

Asking $275 + $30 for shipping in CONUS or Canada.

Hi I have the same jacket I think there made from horse but I don’t know.if you find one with airplane art on the back they can be very valuable imho.ones that have seen war time.

I am almost certain the jacket is goatskin - it is supple, with a grainy surface.

Yes, I have seen jackets with painted decorations, etc. Those sell for a LOT more money than I am asking. I dont think this one was worn extensively (if at all) in military service. It is a well-made, well-preserved original that costs a fraction of modern repros.
