Who makes a G1 jacket with thick lining?

[Aerojoe]

I'd like to find a G1 jacket for winter but the standard lining is too thin. Who makes a G1 jacket with a warmer lining?

 

[ButteMT61]

Schott does. It's a G-1 that has a zip out liner. I should say really, G-1 inspired. I had one and it was great. Sadly the weight loss made me sell it.

A few of their "G-1" styles... http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/mens-g-1-cow-hide-leather.htm

I've also seen them on eBay quite often at better prices. Schott also has a forum where sales take place.

A nice almost mil-spec version with some service history.

Thanks Butte and Jan

I liked that Submarine G-1 but it is black! :eusa_doh: Schott is not my piece of cake

Does anybody know if modern G-1's have thicker linings? Here they have one but not sure;

Ask Aero or GW if they can make one with a heavy lining. I'd wager Aero may, but probably not GW.

I wanted the same thing so I had a tatty old G-1 restored with alpaca lining by Aero Leathers.

Well, right now I'm going through a very bad experience with Aero. I won't purchase from them at this moment.

1) Change your name.
2) Next time, post all the things you don't like first! :eeek:
It will save us some time!

I think it can't be done in this forum

Well, I said a G-1 with thick lining! I think it is very specific

I was considering deluxestyling option; getting a vintage G-1 and re-lining. If I had the chance, I'd jump in a Foster Sportswear 7823. It is my favorite contract.

What's the beef with Aero? Is it leftover from AeroUSA?
If you contact a bartender here, they can help you change your name - if you wanted to.

What I meant was you don't like Schott, you are mad at Aero, and don't like black. That takes care of most of the replies
Just giving you some grief...

No, it is Aero Scotland. I want to think that we are working it out. If you are very interested, pm, as you indeed had something to do with this

It is not I don't like Schott at all! I mean that I wanted a regular G1 but with a thicker lining, not "inspired" or civilian. You know regular G1s; seal brown, goat skin, smaller collar than m422. Aero doesn't make any G1, they do 422 and AN6552. The Submarine G-1 is tempting but not sure if I'm going to like it without trying first.

Have a jacket that you want duplicated?
Have a jacket that is unique and valuable that you want to keep in the closet and wear its replica?
Have a jacket that is worn and damaged and you want a brand new of the same, only they don't make it any more?

Talk to the experts. Bill Kelso can make a clone of your jacket. With all the details and nuances that you will specify.

Why not send us an email to sales@billkelsomfg.com and discuss?

Thanks,
A. Falzon obo Bill Kelso Mfg.

That's sounds good! Where is located Mr Kelso? USA or Europe?

Don't freak out... Greece. They have a good rep on VLJ though. So I understand the concerns - I think they're good. But use other's experiences, which have been good thus far.

I have a LL Bean G-1 in goat with shearling lining I got for cold weather on a motorcycle. It is warm and well made. I think they still make them.

 

[Fanch]

The G-1 was not really designed as a cold weather jacket. You might check Gibson & Barnes website to see if there is anything that might work for you. I was also going to suggest the LL Bean jacket, but Peacoat beat me to the punch.

Aero makes a sheep skin lined jacket like this Longshoreman. I have no doubt they can line one of their G1s with sheep skin.

Are still on business these guys? I didn't find their website.

OMG

Bearing in mind the luck I'm having lately with leather jacket purchases, I'm pretty sure the country blows up before I get my G1 and I lose my money I'm going to contact Mr. Kelso anyway Let's see what he can offer.

Sorry AJ, sad when things don't work. I know what you mean about overseas...with the world in shambles, it's a risk, but use Paypal and you're covered (with a CC).
Or, keep pluggin' away on ebay, sales, etc. Don't forget to watch the Classifieds and other forums...
