Original L.W. Foster 7823(AER)

 

[Spitfireace]

That's a snug looking fit there Dany.

 

[Spitfireace]

You have the combat sweater underneath so. Ya.. will make it snug. Looks fine.. yup.

 

[Dany McDonald]

Yeah and a Canadian (Korean war era) issued too. It's not that snug, just fit..

 

[Spitfireace]

That's the RCN issued G-1 ... nice.....I wish I could get one myself as an ex RCN.

 

[Spitfireace]

Who did you say makes that? Does it have a Lightning zipper?

 

[Dany McDonald]

No the sweater is a Canadian army issued not the G-1...

pretty darn minty. The light makes it look russet. Gotta be seal.

 

[Spitfireace]

There was a RCN issued G-1. Made in the fifties. With a Lightning zipper. It was on this forum I am sure.

No the sweater is a Canadian army issued not the G-1...

I still wear my issued RCN black wool sweater. %100 per cent wool. Bulky, yes, but will keep you warm for sure.

 

[Dany McDonald]

They do pop on some Canadian second hand sites. And in your size too.

 

[Spitfireace]

Do you have a url of a Canadian second hand site there Dany.

 

[Spitfireace]

That would be cool to have a Canadian surplus website.

It's not "inspired" by that......quite the opposite infact!
The Scandinavians pioneered these styles and, after the 30's, Germany issued this single breasted style (prior to that they used a double breasted jacket made from a heavy canvas duck)

Where do your informations come from?
As far as I know the germans used an almost similar coat to the Kriegsmarine one already in ww1, so the design is at least from the 1910's 1920's
