What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Dany McDonald]

I am wearing an old Navy thing.

That's a beautiful skin!

Still my 1041P from DD.

Done well, my young Padawan. Great potential I see...

Too warm to wear it, but trying on this Foster 55J14 that just returned from a refurb with @STEVE S.:
(new zip, new liner, replacement spec. label. The knits don't *quite* match, but they're in good condition, so I decided to leave them alone)

Now where'd I put my aviators..?

Nice. Cool to see such a rare pre-war jacket in good condition!

Perfect light jacket weather demands the perfect light jacket.

Man, you must be getting the cool weather ahead of me. 80 today, high of 70 tomorrow.

Back to 90s from Saturday to next Tuesday.

 

[mulceber]

It got close to 80 today, but then a rainstorm came in and it dropped down to about 65. It’s supposed to be 70 here tomorrow too.

Was that the one from me? Fantastic if so. Fantastic if not so too.

Currently, I'm proudly sporting a leather jacket crafted by my own manufacturing company. It's all about quality and warmth! Your jacket posts have definitely caught my attention – you've got an impressive collection. Just a friendly heads-up though, there seems to be an abundance of photos. It might be cool to mix in some details about the craftsmanship behind your designs. And speaking of which, drop your link so we can explore more: Leather Yard Shop. Keep the style inspiration coming!

Hello,
Where is your company?
Thanks

Yep! She cleans up nicely.

There are many beautiful jackets on this forum.
But sometimes, some stand out and catch your eye, without really understanding why...
I'm not a big G-1 fan, but damn, this one's beautiful ! I'd love to have one just like it.
It suits you perfectly ! Congratulations.

Thanks Kermit, it means a lot coming from someone with your eye for detail. I'm a big fan of the early Foster G-1s. Just a really great silhouette and collar shape. If you're interested in a great repro, you know the folks to talk to. AVI would be a solid choice too, as their 55J14 is a copy of an early Foster.

Right now hunting for a rising super blue moon, G-1 Brill 1968

I don't know much about G-1s. I'd have to read the very good thread about USN jackets in detail.
I haven't delved into it yet, perhaps a little deliberately, as there are already too many jackets I'd like to have.
But from what I understand, it seems that there are still original G-1s available, in wearable condition, for a decent price ?
If so, then I'd rather bet on an original.

A real beginner's question : what price should I consider spending to get a nice original (Korean War/Vietnam War) and portable G-1 ?

In the US I’d say $300-400, tops. They’re likely a bit scarcer in the EU, but I would think certainly under €500.

OK... I need a G-1 !
... I'll read the thread on USN jackets right away.
