Thanks for sharing that as that was the contract I was contemplating; I have two deposits about a year apart and am probably going to go first with a USN but man, that is a nice looking jacket…

You will definitely and I mean really very much (as my younger son would say) be super happy with one of John’s m422a.Hey, that is mine before John slightly darkened the cuffs a bit

Pretty settled on the Knopf 18246 and/or the Doniger
Thats said, Ive seen some fantastic M-422/ M-422As of late and am very tempted.

You briefly saw my Werber m422 at Duxford last year, but if you want to have another, closer look, let me know. It is such an awesome jacket every time I put it on and keeps developing character...

Yes, thats one of the jackets that had an impression.
Im particularly tickled by the Monarch M-422
I think its going to be a tussle when my numbers up.
Personally, I think a repro M-422 or M-422A is a good call.
John makes a super G-1, but original G-1s in decent wearable condition can still be found and renovated for a lot less $£.
Especially if you are patient... and/or lucky

Just realised that I typed Werber but I meant that I have a Monarch m422. Werber in mind because of the 1933 Werber and brain was clearly not fully engaged!

You won't regret one of John's Navy jackets. Love the Switlik I got from him!Hey, that is mine before John slightly darkened the cuffs a bit

Maybe... G&F AN-J-3A or a Monarch m422 (but the Monarch is only because of a slight fit aspect on mine (which was off the sales page)). That 33-1729 Werber is such a work of art though...
I am catching up with a high school buddy in July just got out of the Navy last year. He was in Growlers (EA-18's). I will need to talk to him about jackets a little, but hearing about his (really cool/challenging) experiences tends to take precedence. Still, he is a good source of knowledge of current USN flight gear!

It's been a while since I posted here as life just got (really) busy. As luck may have it I was able to speak with John today - there was so much to catch up on and the chat lasted for 2 hours! It was so good to hear his voice as always and happy to report that he's as passionate about military jacket making as you could ever imagine. Again I have learned so much from him and just love his energy, what an incredible guy!

He really is. Class act that one. If I’ve become a GW fan boy my answer to that is “it’s well justified.”
