Original Skyline Clothing L-2B “Light Zone” Jacket

[B-Man2]

Hi to all
There’s been a bit of conversation lately regarding the lack of original and vintage jackets being posted and the abundance of repros being discussed. In light of that, I thought I’d take this opportunity to post an original 1958 Skyline Clothing Corp. L-2B “light zone” flight jacket, which is synonymous for summer weight jacket size Extra-Large. Don’t let the XL fool you, as these jackets run small and short. As much as I like this jacket I will be letting it go shortly after this posting as it’s just too small for me. So enjoy the photos and ask questions , I’ll be happy to answer any I can.
Cheers
B-Man2

Those knits look to be in great shape. Was the original color more greenish?
