Willis & Geiger style nylon flight jacket

[M. from Berlin]

Looks like late 40s, early 50s green USN Nylon flight suit!
vintage Talon zipper, white red size 40 label.
green nylon with yellow thread.

anybody an idea?
thanks Mario

Don't know much about these but it's a Nam era US Navy WEP jacket, is it not ?

Peter, I don't think so. While the shell fabric appears similar, the pattern is quite different.

 

[M. from Berlin]

it´s only Nylon shell, the back looks like G-1, no lining!

no WEP!

 

[Rutger]

Predecessor of WEP? I suppose if no label or traces thereof left behind would mean non-government issue.
Colour and first glance says WEP.
Talon means US? Could it be Canadian? I doubt European.
Civilian fantasy based on WEP with USAF collar, wrist and waist knits?

If not a civilian jacket my money would be on a jacket made from a flight suit cut down. check the front bottom hem, the odd use of a half belt in a strange position and the non military look of the knits. It would also explain why no lining

@ TimP: its possible, but the front of the US Nylon suit has stiched belt, the pockets are higher. On back of the jacket are remnants of yarn on label position.
