The guy had a cool factor or classic way of conducting himself that just doesn’t exist today among the current group of Hollywood actors.

Ralph Loren is the guy who got me turned on to wearing jodhpurs. I now have over some 50 antiques to contemporary styles along with leather ones. I am telling you, you guys should try it along with a good tweed jacket with elbow patches, thick sweater, riding boots. If not the tweed jacket then a good A-2 of DB leather jacket.

I’ll pass on the Jodhpurs and take the Aston Martin.

Good luck on being able to afford changing the oil on a Martin. Back when I started wearing mine I was driving an 67 Austin Healey 3000 Mark 3.....it looked better with one of these cars. My cowboy boots and hat are when I am in my truck.

Spied this young, emerging jacket collector. He has Jorge's budget but not his style...
Civilian cuffs... Collar and pockets had me excited for you Navy types.

vesteLe?? Toute la première saison, il passe du coupe-vent bleu à une veste de safari en passant par la veste de vol de type G-1.
2 épisodes qui se démarquent: l’un sur une société de cautionnement qui couvre un meurtre - à la fin, ils attrapent le méchant dans une vieille usine de peinture - ont dû rire lorsque le G-1 est aspergé d’un vieux pot de peinture rempli de peinture jaune. Toutes les vieilles vestes de vol ne finissent-elles pas avec de la peinture à un moment donné?
Le second montre en fait l’appartement de Starsky; il s’occupe d’un vieux béguin du lycée qui a connu des moments difficiles. Une scène montre Starsky sur le point de partir à la recherche du méchant et il attrape le G-1 et son étui d’épaule d’un crochet à l’arrière de sa porte - la sécurité d’abord, non?
Je ne suis qu’à quelques épisodes de la saison 2 et ce sont des épisodes spéciaux étranges où ils sont sous « couverture profonde » et habillés bizarrement (costumes à rayures pour Vegas). Je sais qu’il commence à porter une veste brune patinée comme un bandit de grand chemin à un moment donné, mais je ne l’ai pas encore vue.
*Edit: En regardant la liste des épisodes de la saison 1 sur Prime et l’épisode 17: Silence présente une photo de Starsky dans le G-1.
De plus, l’épisode 22: Bounty Hunter est l’épisode de cautionnement que je mentionne ci-dessus. #20 Running est l’autre épisode que j’ai mentionné. On dirait aussi qu’il s’agit d’épisodes de 1975-1976, on pensait que la série était plus tôt.

Jacket hasnot closing tab and button under collar... The front pockets are away from the closure.?? The whole first season he switches back and forth from the blue windbreaker to a safari-like jacket to the G-1 type flight jacket.
2 episodes that stand out: one about a skip-tracing, bail bond company that's covering up a murder -- at the end they catch the bad guy in an old paint factory -- had to laugh when the G-1 gets doused from an old paint can filled with yellow paint. Don't all old flight jackets end up with paint on them at some point?
The second one actually shows Starsky's apartment; he's taking care of an old highschool crush who's hit hard times. One scene shows Starsky about to leave to look for the bad guy and he grabs the G-1 and his shoulder holster from a hook on the back of his door -- safety first, right?
I'm only a couple episodes into Season 2 and they're odd, special episodes where they're under "deep cover" and dressed weird (pin-stripe suits for Vegas). I know he starts wearing a weathered, brown highwayman-like jacket at some point, but I haven't seen it yet.
*Edit: Looking at the season 1 episode list on Prime and Episode 17: Silence features a pic of Starsky in the G-1.
Also, Episode 22: Bounty Hunter is the bail bond episode I mention above. #20 Running is the other episode I mentioned. Also looks like they're 1975-1976 episodes, thought the series was earlier.

The tab can be buttoned up under the collar -- it doesn't always lay out from under.
Not sure what you're pointing out with the pockets -- my early G-1 pockets aren't on top of the zip seam.
Yes for the tab can be buttoned : but i saw in one episode of S & H that Starsky hasnot tab neither button on this side of collar. Sure... For pockets, they are far from zip... For example, my Cagleco pockets are close to the zipper...

Buttons and tabs can be torn off over time. I'd still I.D. the jacket as a G-1 variant based on all of the images I've seen.
FWIW -- I checked the pocket placement on my Monarch and they're in just about the same position as Starsky's jacket.
I agree with you. G-1 variant.
