Thought some of you guys might find this recent purchase interesting. 20 years hunting for vintage jackets this must be the earliest American made leather flight jacket I've yet come across. Leather appears to be pig skin or similar. Very old grommet zipper marked Kwik and have not previously seen this make. Appears similar to Hookless zip of same era. Moleskin lining. No pit vents. Overall construction similar to A-1 jacket with zipper instead of buttons. Interested in any thoughts or comments on this one. Apologies for the somewhat rushed pics. Cheers.
