GW L.W. Foster 55J14 G-1 Flight Jacket

Gents,

Either I AM the first to see it, or you guys in a 46-48 are crazy!

By design the G-1 is more time intensive with regard to manufacture.
This jacket has probably had more of JCs time than any other in recent
history. The price is an insane $550 plus shipping. This jacket has a JC
effort/dollar ratio that is off the chart and the spot price SHOULD be
around $1750 to $2500!!

It pains me how few 40-42s are running around... I cant wait endure
the timeline involved... my impulsive nature will not allow it..

Just do IT!!

Ok that's the money sent , fingers crossed no one beat me to it :lol: :lol: , I have an original
Foster 7823 that I wear a lot but was considering a repro G1 to wear hard on my Harley so JCs looks spot on

This Jacket has 27" sleeves. I think you should let me buy it.

Man I wish I could afford that jacket! It is absolutely beautiful! My size too, but I am retired now and money is tight. I'd have a hard time convincing the OL that I need ANOTHER FLIGHT JACKET! :cry:
