Pity about the badges. I might have been interested otherwise.

I know! Why kill that goat twice?

I had the same thought; otherwise a decent price, the right size and it is in the UK. Description suggests someone who knows and pays attention to the right details/measurements.

That's funny....

That name plate isn't...

Is it me or do those wrist knits look like A2 type? Can’t imagine JC would have used wrong’uns!!

I’d trade one of my non-patched GW jackets for that. Love the patch.

Not sure if serious or not?

Serious. But this Star has the wrong knits. That bugs me.

What's wrong with the knits? A-2 and G-1 have the same wristlets. I think the color is just bad photography!

Am I naive? Did something just go above my head? You guys joking?

Nothing is wrong with the knits! I stand very corrected.

Ended up succumbing to this one. John messaged me to inform that this one is in fact made from a cowhide. The knits are in fact correct. I told him “no, I don’t need another” but appreciated the info. That lasted 5 minutes - XMas gifts were as a result more frugal this year.
I completely botched the purchase though - so much for actually reading the terms. However, the seller was very kind and agreed to ship to the US.

Will show it off once it’s received! I still like the patch

Nickb123 - enjoy but I think you need intervention therapy!!!!

Are you keeping the fanboy name plate?

It is rather fanboy, isn’t it!

Provenance of a different color!

 

[coolhandluke]

If you remove the nameplate, there's likely going to be two sets of stitch holes. It appears the seller covered up a prior set of stitch holes from a nameplate that was installed before he owned it. If so, I'd just replace it with something a little more tasteful looking. It's a gorgeous jacket otherwise. Congrats Nick...

And it’s a 55J14 rather than a (straight) G-1. I believe the squadron patch belonged to Corsair pilots in Korea.

For a minute I thought maybe John was cooking up Vietnam-era Star repros.

Still waiting on this one. Shipped late Dec.
