Saw that one as well. Super sweet, but no measurements and the color is too loud for me.

Now the green 36 Schott might be something I'd be interested in!
If the price stays under 45k then I will likely snag it. Let's see. Love the super clean look with no belt or epaulets. And the green looks lovely as well, not too pigmented/plasticky. Will research this model a bit. The measurements seems pretty good for me.
Yes, the leather on the green schott really stood out to me. Almost a British Racing Green.

Very similar to the Aime Leon Dore collab they did a while ago

If that Vanson was my size, I would be all over it- I've been wanting a dark red leather jacket for a while now

Where do you find these coupons usually?
I just google past coupon codes and see what comes up. Most codes follow the same format so you can generally swap out the year and month to reuse a code.

Example:
RSPL250115H - an expired code from a coupon aggregator. FromJapan uses the 'YYMM' format for each month,
RSPL250315H - change the month to the current month ('03' for March).

There are various prefixes for each platform and member rank.
RA = Rakuten, MR = Mercari, YH = Yahoo Auctions
RSGO = Gold, RSPL = Platinum, RSBL = Black (discounts and price minimums increase with rank).

Then there are suffixes for various pricing tiers (such as 1K for a 1000 yen discount off 20k purchase or 10K for 10k yen discount off 200k). I simply mix and match and jot down whatever works.

Edit: As another example, NUJP2501 ran from January to March so I'm fairly certain that NUJP2504 will work in April.

Does this seem like a good deal? Appears to be vintage army G-1 in reasonable condition.

No, it does not look like a good deal to me. The zipper pull is broken and the collar is obviously fake. I wouldn't be surprised if it were cow instead of goat (but maybe that is unfair). For 250-300 USD, you can get something much better if you keep looking.

Also, fyi: fhe G-1 is a US Navy jacket (as well as Marines and Coast Guard), not an army jacket. Those Navy fly boys would not like to hear such a mistake!

Thank you. I did not even notice the zipper pull or collar. Hopefully with experience. I am new. Is there anything I should look out for specifically on eBay to get a better find? Any brands?

Use the search function on this site to start to learn more about G-1s. There are many many threads devoted to that jacket style. There are also many G-1s that have been sold in the Classifieds section and reading those old posts will give you cues for makers and quality characteristics.
