37JI Navy jacket

[B-Man2]

John Wayne also liked the 37J1

and here with the stencil on the back like on the description @zoomer shared

could be a studio-jacket anyway - the pockets seem to be rather small compared to originals

Looks like an original BUT at 6’4” tall and 225lbs it’s probably studio made .

Western Costume.

I think I remember Marion's Flying Tigers A-2 had a WC tag.

John Wayne's 37J1 also appeared in "The Wings of Eagles 1957"

But the jacket's zipper had been broken. A flap was added to the lower for fasten with buttons.

Duke's 37j1is different. Knit collar has loop and two buttons for adjustment, also a button tab for fasten, sleeve seam position, pleated pockets round corner, zipper without wind proof flap.

For the detail of the different, check a film "Devil Dogs of the Air"(1935). James Cagney dressed the same jacket as John Wayne's.

Agreed … that was why I said it was “SIMILAR “

I would say "Good Eye," but you missed the stormflap. It's on the wearer's left!
