Just received this 64 Star Sz 44"....looks like it's just come out of the factory!....goatskin is quite a bit darker and thicker than my RE 63 B series... Sean K

Very Nice jacket Dave!....you must have quite a collection of quality USN jackets now!...here's the same earlier theatre made va - 145 patch.... Sean K

......You can clean this one with gasoline!..."looks like leather,wears forever"

Sold for $780

Good B series G-1's are hard to come by especially in a size 46 so I think if 2 or 3 bidders really want this jacket the price will go higher by the end of auction.....I sold a mint Sz 42 Ralph Edwards B series on eBay last summer for $1225 :o Sean K

Nope.....no paper tag......

Sold it for $1225 :o

Just took delivery of this pristine 1963 B series G-1 that looks like it came out of the Ralph Edwards factory yesterday!...leather still creaks and has a fantastic "leathery" smell.. Some of the manufacturing chalk marks around the pocket flaps are still visible!.. The knits are still tight...

....Looks very similar, but pockets are different to this Church I had a while back?...and the stencil was in black.. Sean K

I think Silvermans had some Alpha Replica B-15's in a while back...looks like they've all been sold and they just have the replica MA-1 in stock http://www.silvermans.co.uk/ProductDeta ... fault.aspx Might be worth contacting them to see if they can locate one for you? Sean K

I currently have these 3 SR-71 related jackets in my collection...the early ma-1 is more grey than green...

I have long arms too!...but the Monarch's arm length is spot on for me...you could always try a 42 regular and if the arms are too short you could exchange it for a 42 Long... Sean K

Thanks Mark....it's certainly my favourite repro A-2 to date (and I've had a few!) yes it's a 42" reg...sleeve length is aprox 24" including cuff..if you're tall and slim then this jacket is perfect... Cheers Sean K

I agree!.....the jacket has the nicest honey coloured mouton i've seen on all the Navy jackets i've owned past and present. I sold this Ed Church a few years back it too had really nice mouton although quite a bit darker... Sean K
