Sorry for the late reply…Yes I do believe it has the drawstring waistband. Currently getting ready to get my winter gear out and sorted. I will update if i find differently.

excellent upgrade to the ATF jacket!

USN still currently issues the G-1. WEP, CWU-36, 45 are the various fabric/nylon over the years. Plus the newer “softshell” types I can’t remember the name of. I could be wrong, but didn’t think USN used the modified B-15s like the USAF did.

As a satisfied owner of one of your great Al Worden editions, as well as your custom name tags, I for one would be very interested in what you could do G1 wise

Interesting jacket, and worthy of a post. Would be interesting to figure out its pedigree. In my opinion, I think O.M.S. is something other than for USAF OMS. IIRC, USAF continued to use Army issue, and USAF/ARMY components together until USAF had their stuff ready. The clothing supply...

Not sure about the date, but if it is a ‘56, the owner got good service out of it. The A-7D prototype flew in 68, and squadron service in 1970.

I have only ordered from them twice in the past couple of months, but have seen their website for several years. Based on my limited knowledge they specialized in making items for movie productions, and branched into enthusiast’s and the re-enacting market. They offer several different items...

To quote Dorthy, “There’s no place like home”……. Plus being behind the lines in CA is wearing on us, time to go…..

That is outstanding! The stars, moon, packers, shippers, and Rona Demon all aligned correctly on that one!

Excellent. Love the look on those Rangoon Shirts.

I have been wanting the N-1 Jacket for some time. However, with many other interests, I did not want to invest the money that the top of the line makers products go for. Add in shipping woes (a recent Aero order included pilfering somewhere down the line, shipping time, exchange rates and all...
