Security Aviation Toggs photos

Your right Zoomer. I think the some companies try going a little too far with the extras and in the end loose touch with actually replicating a good jacket.

'37 contract=obscure and unique. AAF stampings=wartime and "real."
Can't have your cake and eat it too.

Oh-oh is that a stampede?

And...the answer to the 64,000 dollar question is...?
...did an authentic turn up or did John interpret from photos?

The comparison shot implies the latter, but it does look a grand job...

Yes, introduced this year ...

Why must they always put the @##!!%!! 1942 stampings on the liner?

More is more better-er!!

I was first thing the above photo might be the first wartime photo of a SAT A-2, but look to just be a civilian purchase. Windflap at the top is wrong and looks to have a bi-swing back. Seems are off a bit also.

I'm not a SAT fanatic (yet), but after seeing JC's finished product I could certainly become one. :lol:

I agree that the depicted jacket appears to have a bi-swing back, and I also note its underarm "football" gussets. Wherever the jacket came from I'll bet that pilot sure was comfy in the cockpit.

ANJ-3 or ANJ-3a possibly?

I think you're onto something with your ANJ-3 theory. This jacket appears to be the variant with outer windflap a la the A-2, as reproduced by Gibson & Barnes. I believe the ANJ-3a had a fur collar and was standardized and issued in some quantity.
