L.L. Bean sheeplined G-1 type.

I suggest you buy it now. Course I'm a little biased, since I'm wearing one now, and I'm thinking it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Definitely a classic, you won't be disappointed.

I’ve often said that this was one of the best jackets I’ve ever owned and actually used when flying .

What zipper is in yours Burt? Mine has been replaced, with a YKK #5. I think it might have been a ten scovill.

I have two of them . One’s a scovill and the others a mystery . It’s the original zip but it only has a cursive “cc” on it . See below .

I think the paperclip Scovill zipper is original. The CC is it original?

How long did they make these jacket? Start year and end year? Multiple zippers could have been used.

How long was the run of these jackets? I think they probably stopped making them because they were too complicated and expensive to make. To be honest, they have sheep lining, real mouton collar. Pretty good goatskin. Probably too much for the average person wanting a cheap jacket.
