Thoughts on the use of a G1 in milder climates? Love the look but pretty mikd in the bay area here in norcal, albeit cokd in the winter. Worried a fixed mouton color may be too warm

Welcome to the VLJ forum !!
Not at all . It’s a jacket you can wear with a T-shirt from 65F down to 32F with a sweat shirt under it. It’s an intermediate weight jacket that’s good for different temperatures.

Thank you! I was looking for this exact answer

What brand do you have in mind?

I was looking at a double helix collaboration if I want to go more modern twist but the usual:
Aero, cockpitusa, schott nyc, maybe eastman

The US Navy used them during the Vietnam war… ( basically in all conflicts in Asia since 1935 ).
By experience, Vietnam can be very very hot and very very humid…
Still an original pre-1971 Vietnam war original is absolutely wearable even with the collar ( made out of mouton).
The pre-1960 versions are even better ( more comfy ) since the liner is of better material….
Originals only.
