Yes, I agree. This pattern looks more comfy than the '55J14' one.
Gary, what contract was the Buzz G-1 based on, do you know?

Aaah. Mr Gary from FB!Finally got around to doing some mediocre fit pics with a terrific jacket. Look at the jacket please, not at the old guy posing in it.

Thank you all for your kind words. Except for the collar I asked Shawn to copy verbatim the BR jacket I had sent to him. The BR is one of the best fitting, most comfortable jackets in my collection, and I am more than pleased with the outcome of this AN-J-3. The distressed buffalo leather is extraordinary. For anyone who prefers a thick, weighty, yet soft and supple leather, I would recommend it wholeheartedly. As for a specific
contract Brett, all the lowdown on the William Gibson G-1 is available on the HPA website, but no mention is made of an original contract source, except to say that it is a copy of spec. 7823 from 1950. When comparing it to original spec G-1s, it appears that the mouton collar is a little larger and it is a little roomier through the midriff. Also the sleeves may be larger in diameter at the cuff.
Super nice jacket. The fit couldn’t be more perfect . Congrats !
