Information of this G-1 Jacket

[egggg424]

Hi all,
New to the forum. Recently my dad found this G-1 Jacket, it was from his brother.
I tried to look for information about it but can't find any.
Looks like a repro, the label seems weird, but I'm still curious about this piece.
If anyone can tell me about this one I'd be grateful.
Thanks a lot.

I'd say: Avirex G1 lookalike, more 'inspired by the G1 design than a repro(duction) of the G1

You’re quite right, it is a repro. I don’t think it’s an Avirex, it would be on the label. That escape map lining is an Avirex thing though, so it’s basically a copy of a copy, and in terms of accuracy, not a terribly good one. ‘30-1415’ is the drawing number for the A-2. Sorry to disparage your jacket, but that’s about the size of it. Not everyone is worried about such things though, so as a leather, flight-style jacket, it’ll do the trick.

Yeah I did some research and found that it is pretty much a copy of an Avirex G1. Thanks for the reply!

I was thinking about the same thing. I did some research about the label, the lining and the drawing number, got really confused so I came here for further information.
I did expect the result, yet it's not a big problem cuz it's too small for me. Now I guess i'll just sell it for a bit of money. Thanks a lot for the reply!
