Some customers have one bad experience from a certain country and stereotype it. The jacket looks great, but I'm not sure it was a military issue G-1. Maybe a civilian version by Foster? The label picture is slightly blurry but I can't spot the contract year. Did Navy G-1s sometimes not have the...

Many potential ebay bidders are hesitant if the seller is located in Mexico. _________________________________________________________________ Tom

Avirex or Protech are my guesses. ______________________________________ Tom

If the lady in Tennessee is the same one that's done my jacket repair/restoration she is still referred by the Peters Group website. http://www.peters-group.com/jacket_repair.htm I haven't sent any jackets to her in a few years but I highly recommend her skills as a seamstress. She has no...

Great condition for an early B-3. Looks to be a nice fit with room for layering. Where did you acquire it? ______________________________________________________________________________________ Tom

The fit is spot on. Looks very comfortable to wear and it's one of the nicest looking repro A-2s I have seen. __________________________________________________________________________________ Tom

Here's a recruiting film with Jimmy Stewart as a new officer. Even with it being black & white footage his A-2 looks fairly dark. I wonder if this is not the same russet Roughwear that we've seen him wearing in later photos that was donated to the Air Force museum...

Six if you want your name on the front of the jacket rope style. :lol: _____________________________________________________________________ Tom

I was guessing Lt. Kratt traded for or purchased his A-2. I didn't know they were still being re-issued through the supply system in the early '50s. Very interesting. My dad was in the 25th Division, Artillery in Korea from 1951-1953. I'm always interested to hear any information concerning the...

It's definitely not a Good Wear, but it might be a Glad Wear.... https://www.glad.com/great-stink-escape/ __________________________________________________________ Tom

I'm not sure exactly which jacket you're referring to but A-2s have snap pockets and G-1s have button pockets and mouton fur collars. The Cockpit makes about a half dozen different goatskin models, including vintage styles like the Pearl Harbor and the Flying Tigers, as well as the modern issue...

Non-uniformity was the uniform of the day in that era for sure. Lt. Kratt is too young to have been issued an A-2 in his career but it looks like there is possibly a worn air corps decal on his sleeve. The third to last photo shows a private purchase leather jacket. No contract maker had pocket...

It's good to see your overall rating is still 100%. If you didn't have so many transactions on ebay your average would have been affected more. _________________________________________________________________________________ Tom

I have seen and owned many Avirex jackets but have never observed one like yours. I have kept a few of their catalogs from the late '90s-early 2000s. The closest I can find is a cowhide B-15 with removable mouton collar and zip-out lining from the 2001-2002 Vol. 12 Avirex catalog. It retailed...

The best quality campaign hats have been made by Stratton for drill instructors and law enforcement. Here's a couple links with only a slight difference in price. http://strattonhats.com/products/1-F-40-Campaign-Style http://www.rangerjoes.com/Statton-Campa ... 0C236.aspx Neither one of...
