IMG_0043.JPG IMG_0046.JPG IMG_0043.JPG Here is a very nice G-1 flight jacket in a large size - I am not good at dating these but my guess is probably 60's or 70's - has standard looking USN Bureau of Aeronautics tag but does not have the USN perforations in the wind flap as you often see on these.

Not sure whether the reddish bakelite (?) buttons on the outer pockets are original to the jacket but are what was on it when I got it. Brass underarm ventilation grommets and belted, gusseted back, and left breast inside pocket with snap closure reading "Avirex Mil Spec".

Condition is very good - no problems - no holes, rips, stains, separated seams, big scuffs, smells in the shell, lining or elastic wool cuffs. There is an area on the left hand side of the zipper where the finish looks a bit mottled as if something were spilt on it, but it can only be seen at a certain angle and light, and I can't get it to show in the pics.

Nice, Extra-Large size - tagged as a 48 - I wear 48R and have no problems getting it on and wearing it although it is a slim military cut and rides a bit tight thru my belly (which is about 44"). Dimensions are: chest (armpit to armpit zipped and measured flat - 50", waist across middle of pockets - 46" and unstretched elastic waist cuff - 38". Sleeve center back to cuff - approx. 35". Length bottom back of collar to cuff - appox 26"

Price is $175 shipped inside USA. PM if interested - I usually accept only Paypal.

I'm not a big guy, but my Track Jacket is a 48 and barely zipped up over my chest until recently. I am interested if you have it still.
