Thanks for the info. I guess ebay is the best place to keep looking?

Yes, that's the jacket, and that's the first time I've seen a photo of a tag in one. Thanks for posting the link. Hopefully somebody comes along who can provide some history and info on it.

Sorry, Andrew. I'll try to find another posting on ebay and link it here. It's basically a hooded canvas-type pull-over jacket that has cross lacing starting at the chest line and going up toward the neck. I've seen it described as a Navy deck jacket, anorak and rain poncho...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-USN...item3cd8a5fe4d I posted this on the general flight jacket forum, but then thought it my belong here as well. I'm trying to identify the "Navy deck jacket" in the link above so I know what to search for on ebay/google/bing. Does anybody know the name or...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-USN...item3cd8a5fe4d I'm hoping somebody on VLJ can hep me with identifying this jacket. It's described as a Navy deck jacket. The link above is to an ebay auction, but I'm hoping to find a model number (example: A2, MA-1, etc.) so I can know what to search...

Ian, I haven't had the chance to purchase a GB MA-1 with Thinsulate, yet, but it is on my short list. The guy I spoke with at GB said that both their poly fiber and Thinsulate lined jackets have a more substantial feel then their imported MA-1. I have no experience with the wool lined MA-1s...

Sorry, meant to say make sure you go up one size to a 2XL if you buy one of the imported Alpha MA-1s in my post above. KELORGO

When I spoke with Gibson Barnes last week the representative was very helpful. He told me that the quality of the MA-1 that GB makes in the US is better than the green/orange one that they import. The inter lining of the one that lists for $128 is poly fiber. This is the one they have on...

Thank you FtrPlt and Rutger. I'm going to try to find an XL CVC, then possibly an XL CWU 45. The CVC jackets seem to be a screaming deal, so I'll start there first. Again, thanks for taking the time to point me in the right direction. KELORGO

Can those who own the CVC jacket please give me some advice on sizing? I am 5'10" and about 210 pounds. I usually wear a size 46 sport jacket and XL in all of my other jackets, except for a newer Alpha MA-1 which runs small so I need a 2XL. Do the CVC and CWU 45 jackets fit true to size or...

Les Garten, There's a size XL green MA-1 on the Gibson Barnes website right now. It's on their clearance page under cloth jackets. This is their model that's made in the US. It usually lists for $128, but it's on sale at $59. The only thing is, it doesn't have an orange lining. GB also...
