I was wearing a 7823A G-1 this week to go to work. Some colleagues who were intrigued by the jacket asked me when it was made. When I replied to them that my G-1 was from 1958/1960, they were speechless... :) The G-1 and the WEP jacket were also very suitable in the narrow cockpit of my...

Sorry, I really don't know. All I'm knowing is that the black collar is a particularity of this contract. I believe that not any other G-1 contract has one like black fur.

This CAGLECO SPORTSWEAR G-1 belonged to Captain Frank C. Regan. He was an USMC fighter pilot and can be heard here: Maj. F. Regan's interview at Chu Lai in 1968 The jacket is a Mil-J-7823 specification. CAGLECO SPORTSWEAR contract N383s-9211A, the only one contract to have made G-1s with black...

Both L-2A seem to be original jackets. I would not believe that for the L-2. It would be an modern repro. Franck

Fantastic job, Dave! Franck

Hi Stu, What a very good deal and a great G-1. Personally I wouldn't replace anything. Perfect like this; good shape and original. Franck

Two SAC caps from my own collection. All sold since some years... :(

I have not any jacket to wear at this time. I've sold my 7823 CAGLECO G-1 size 44 last year and looking for a good 42 sized G-1, original or a very good repro. Franck

Thank you for all these good and interesting informations. Dave, we are all impatient to see your G-1 patched. Franck

I don't know. Sorry.

My friend's USMC 9211A G-1 .

Thank you, gentlemen. So, it seems that at leat one contract had a black collar seeing all your CAGLECO 383s-9211A with this one. Well, we're learning every day...

Hi all, A friend of mine has a nice USMC 7823 G-1 from CAGLECO SPORTSWEAR contract 383s-9211A. This jacket has a black collar. I've seen another one from the same contract with the same black collar. So, my question is: have all 9211A CAGLECO a black collar? And any other G-1 had a such black...

The 7823A spéc. superseded the 7823 in November 1958. The 7823B superdeded the A in October 1960.
