Could any one help?

Hi, it's me again,
I have a couple of questions to ask.
1. Help to identify the brand of this jacket?
2. Is this zipper legit for this era? I think this jacket from the 40s era.

Cheers, Dtai

I would say zipper is 50s/60s, judging by the stitch holes it is a replacement. Someone more knowledgeable will be able to recognise the contract on the label and pinpoint a production date

@P-47 thunderbolt Thank you, well spotted. I didn't see that.

Hi
Your jacket is a 1957 era Cagleco Sportswear G-1 jacket . As P-47 advised the zipper is a replacement one . You can learn more about your jackets and research them here :

Nailed it, Burt. A Calgeco Sportswear Mil-J-7823 (AER) with such a stunning chicken nugget mouton. I swear, a lot of chicken nuggets going around the VLJ lately... and I am not complaining!

Thanks for your kind words, Burt. But I must respectfully disagree, that place goes to @Maverickson. All that I've learned about G-1's is via the VLJ, especially his posts.
As for the jacket above, I literally just read the black tag.
Although... I'd like to think I could be the VLJ's resident CWU45/P guru... maybe haha
