nice. Great looking jacket. I always liked the conmar zipper over the Talon for some reason.
usually, this model comes with talon zipper, spoke with seller and he said this is custom made jacket and zipper is original from 1940 s. i am not familiar with zippers, so that is the reason why i made a post.

I know that, but i was wandering if anyone knows something about this zipper.

From what I understand, talon was acquired after the war by a Japanese company. There’s a good video about Talon on YouTube if you’re interested. Conmar zippers are still rare but more accessible and work just as good as Talon if not better. My Anj4 from Lost Worlds was advertised with a talon but I received a Conmar instead. I’m really really happy with it. Never grinds gears and looks so nice

It’s a gem of a zipper. Better than Talon in my opinion

Thanks again. I am new in world of repro jackets, so any information is very useful for me. I have probably the best collection of Avirex and Cockpit jackets in Croatia, and now is time to take next step.

Nice. I have a new Freewheelers Mulholland on the way.

That Comar zip is known as Type 597011 and was produced in the 1940’s. I’ve seen it installed in aviator kit bags and USN deck jackets but never in a flying jacket.
