CK, that's a super nice repro that looks absolutely original in all manners!

French "Marine Nationale" deck jacket, 1950'

would love to see a side by side comparison with a WWII US deck jacket .... looks almost identical

Cheers, Dany, really do love this one. This was one of J.C’s regular wearers before he sold it to me and the cut is just beautiful!!

Maybe it just me, but from the desktop and in that light that goat look 100% like an original USN jacket.
You are lucky to have this in your collection!

Nope you’re correct. This particular Mexican stuff J.C has, chrome tanned, aniline, thick, consistent scratch-like grain and soft, drapey but strong. It’s the most definite U.S.N leather I’ve come across and is identical to originals I’ve both seen and handled.

I’m on the main man’s list for an ANJ-3A and I’m thinking it’ll have to be the same goatskin again, it’s just magnificent!!

I have one too! 44- fits like a 46L. My favorite G-1 type jacket by far. It has that orange collar which is so hard to reproduce.

i wouldn't replace this collar--just right IMHO.
