2 more jackets.

[Ualman]

Since I received so much info on that G1 I have, which was very much appreciated by the way, I thought about seeing if you could help me with 2 more jackets I have.
Neither has a label unfortunately, but I will add some photos of them.
Looks like they might be 55J14 or 7823.

Thank you already very much.

First 5 are from 1 jacket, the other from the other.

Someone more in the know can probably say for sure, but I was under the impression the USN marking was centred on the reverse of the collar on the 55J14, which would lead me to say this is a 7823AER......

Hello,

Please post pics of the entire jackets especially, wind flap shape, pockets, retainer under the collar, liner, zipper.

They are key elements to help pinpoint a manufacturer.

Thanx,

Thank you both for helpful info.
Will share some more photo's.First jacket
Second jacket

Both have same sized pockets left and right. Second one has white USN off middle on collar, and has USN on windflap.

Second one is a 7823, possibly 7823AER, because it’s got the perforated windflap, which as far as I know the 55J14 didn’t have. If it’s got the perforated windflap with USN marking on the collar as well, then I think that dates it to roughly 1957.

Other one I’m not sure, I guess it could be a 55J14 if it doesn’t have the perforated windflap, but I may be mistaken.

Hope I’m possibly correct on this....?

Thank you so much for your info.
All this adds to the interest in flight jackets.
Just love the history behind these jackets.

No problem, happy to offer what basic knowledge I have. I posted a thread earlier in the displaying my own G-1 collection, which you may be interested in:

G-1 Collection: 55J14 - 7823D

Evening All, Having been a long-time lurker and (apologies) very occasional poster, this pandemic lockdown has given me the opportunity to finally sort through some photos of my jacket collection, which I thought I'd share with the forum. I've been collecting US military jackets of all types...
