Mine was a G-1 issued in primary flight school in Pensacola in 1974. They told us they were made of naugahyde. :? We only kept them during initial flight trainng and turned them in when we moved on. I doubt if anyone remembered the mfg. co. We never cared about the labels back then.

Thanks for the pics, Josh, and welcome to the forum. Looks like you will have many years of artistic opportunities ahead of you. Good work! :D

May you keep both the bike and jacket scratch free as you enjoy the open road. 8-)

Maybe you store your collection in a "safe" place ,hopefully? :D

Thankyou, bjoy, for your research and sharing. It never ceases to amaze me how dedicated the members of this forum are to searching out answers to relevant questions. Good work everyone :!: :)

It is a very nice looking A-2. Enjoy wearing it in comfort for many years. :)

It's a very likable jacket, Mark. Having seen your earlier "experimental" jackets, your progress has been commendable. You have achieved true master craftsman quality. I look forward to seeing your future products. Paul

Thanks for the history lesson about Rigor Mortis. It is always a privilege to meet a WW2 vet, wouldn't you say?

This could be the beginning of an expensive habit(hobby?). Good luck in teaching your boy about spending his money wisely. :?

Platon, the stormtrooper pic could actually be considered flight gear. Thanks for sharing. :D

You hit a home run in buying that jacket. It no doubt has some history behind it that would be fascinating to get ahold of. :)

As a student naval aviator in Pensacola in the early 70's I was issued a G-1 that I practically lived in for 6 months. I never bothered to notice who manufactured it. It simply served its purpose.

Thanksfor the pics, Dujardin. Happy New Year! :D :D :D

Well done! Now you need not hesitate in restoring other mishandled jackets.

You have a good eye for fashion models, 442, and a sense of humor that should only be to your advantage. Keep up the good work! :D Paul
