aha, another one of those uncommon g-1s with reddish knit element as seen on my original first contract star g-1. wonder if the one offered is a star. too bad about the jacket's condition, though.

Looks like AN-J-3A made by Foster Sportswear to me - this vertical pocket stitch is very characteristic....Indeed ginger knits look very unique and interesting on it.
