Something you don't see often...

G-1 from A-series (the rarest of the spec. 7823) still in its bag sealed.
Apologies for the low quality images, proper post will come soon!

Shit my size.....

Joke aside, can't wait to see that skin!

I'm afraid this one is gonna be kept sealed in its bag. (At least by me)

Jorge
I think you need to post a few 46s and 48s

Also … there’s another show in Lakeland in January … if you’re interested .

For sure Jorge, but will the folds end up affecting the jacket as a whole. In your collectors eye can this affect the whole jacket as a collectable?

Very nice Jorge
Wasn’t there a thread about a bagged original G-1 some years ago..I mean years and years ago where someone snagged a bagged original

There were two NOS Cagleco’s in their boxes that were purchased from Stuart at Lost Worlds by a member here .

In my opinion, the uniqueness of this example comes from the fact that this is still untouched after 63 years. Finding any G-1 in great shape is rare but finding it in its original sealed bag happens once every few years. Most likely the folds will disappear if it gets opened, but it won't be back to its original condition.

Someone refueled their time machine again?

Looking forward to more pics

Interesting. Tx.

Are we suggesting that’s NOS from the maker, in a plastic bag? Surely that would have been boxed and surely for ventilation/avoidance of mould, not plastic? Personally I’d give it an airing and store it hung on a proper decent hanger/mannequin!!!

This example came in a bag but it was already opened by the previous owner.

Not suggesting, it is a fact. They used to come from factory in plastic bags, boxes and sometimes both. Perhaps not always the case, but there are plenty of examples out there (flight jackets, flight suits, etc).

Again, the last thing I would do is opening the bags if they are sealed. I prefer preserving them in its original factory condition. If it survived 6 decades untouched, I wouldn't be the first to open it. But that is just my opinion.
