Covid in 2019 robbed me of a visit to New York and a visit to The Cockpit store, intended to buy something that looked and fitted right.
Due to my shoulders & back ‘not obese’ the G1 by swing back is a better choice for me and when my mate was there last year, to save on postage and import duty he came back with there mil-spec G1. The jacket whilst not accurate to anything it is well made, good quality materials and got lucky on the fit, but what they got horribly wrong was the collar pile depth. The dark brown mouton shade I didn’t mind, but being a 48R they must have thought the mouton needed to increase as well. It’s in storage at present until next summer for my northwest UK summer collar aging experiment but the collar is wrong in every way.
