This is an original Martin Lane 7823D G-1 flight jacket from circa 1968.
Size 42
In overall spectacular condition. A true Vietnam Vet.
This is a fantastic example of the contract, sporting some of the best grain on any G-1 I've come across.

This jacket wants for nothing. Not a cent needs spent on it.

The jacket is clean as a whistle.
No ghost stitch holes, no moth holes.
No patches or name tags have been applied.

Goatskin leather is a splendid chocolate brown hue, with lots of character and grain, no issues.
Knit parts are excellent and still retain tension. Appear to be original to the jacket, but I cant be sure.
No moth holes.
Mouton fur is sun-bleached as would be expected and adds to the character.
Lining is clean and immaculate.
Label is original to the jacket and perfect.
Brass Scovill zipper is original and works flawlessly.
U.S.N perforated on the windflap.

Overall in great condition with many years of life and hard-wearing left.
Wearable AND collectible!

Size 42
Approximate measurements in inches (shown in the pics below)
Measurements taken flat, but not pulled taught.
Shoulders - 19.5"
Chest - 22.5"
Back length - 24.75"+
Sleeve - 25.5"+
Front length/ zipper - 22"+

Im 5'10, 40" chest, around 75kgs, average build and the jacket fits beautifully.
Lifting & moving arms about and general wear is very comfortable.
For me with 'long' arms, the sleeve lengths are good.
There is ample room to layer with a light sweater.

Please see pics, ask questions
