Huge Early W&G M-422A in almost new condition (Size 46)

[bazelot]

I just received my 85956 contract Willis and Geiger M-422A and it is stellar. Everything is in outstanding condition and there is close to zero wear on it. Leather is basically brand new. It is asize 46 and is HUGE (pit to pit is 26", shoulders are 21" and sleeves are 26"). It is basically a tad too big for me . THe zipper is a beautiful M39 Talon painted brown.

Pictures are crap but that should give you guys a good idea on the condition:

Unbelievable it is in perfect condition. Mint even creased. Great jacket.

Hi Tom,

What a great find & truly a special one of a kind M-422A!

I've often heard of that M-39 Talon zipper being attached to those early war W&G flight jackets. This is the first one I have seen with that zipper configuration.

All things considered, that jacket of yours looks to be the end all for WW-2 USN flight jackets.

Cheers, Dave

If it continues to be a "TAD TO BIG" for you, put my name at the top of the list if you decide to sell it!
