Star Sportswear 55J14 [44]

[Erwin]

Great piece considering how rate Patches are price is not extremely high for 44 in this condition. The Carrier Air Group 102 from the Korean War era is a fantastic piece in my opinion! Also light chocolate knits cool to see on this jacket.

actually reddish brown, same as my original. the pic is not exactly color true. the reddish knits found on early star g-1s are an interesting and somewhat rare oddity.

I owned that jacket over 20 years ago, and it had never had any patches on it. Exact same jacket, down to the smallest wrinkle. Sad that someone applied all those patches and decided to sell it as if it were an originally patched jacket. The seller was told days ago the history of this original, but I guess it's just not all that important to him to correct his sale.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A KOREAN WAR ERA USN G-1 FLIGHT JACKET. typical flight jacket of that era. The cuffs may have been replaced many years ago as they are faded and pulling in a number of areas.

Hew was kind enough to offer it to me for $1550.

There’s always some unscrupulous person looking to “Boost’ an item or add a fake provenance to it, in order to squeeze a few more bucks out of prospective buyer.
Guy sounds like a real jerk !
