My Favorite G-1

[Jaydee]

My fav is a 1963 Brill 7823B WEP at the moment, best original knits I ever seen on a 60's G-1:

Nice. You guys are killing me with the cool G-1s!

Just when I had banished all thought of them and obsessed- I mean, focused- on A2s.... :lol:

Man, that jacket looks like it is straight out of a time machine! The leather and knits look virtually brand new. No wonder it's your favorite!

Fantastic G-1. Nothing wrong with that one!

Brilliant G1. It looks brand new. It could easily be mistaken for a repro by most people! Wear it and enjoy it.

Sorry, to me it looks nothing like a euro repro. I wish the issue G-1's still looked that good.

Ah, but you are not most people! 99% of ordinary people have little idea about flight jackets and its "newness" may suggest to them a repro.

Quite right, see your point now. Still that is a pristine example.

No argument then! Absolutely pristine G1.

Yeah me too! That synthetic collar is crap on the modern ones. Hey this Repro appears to come close, never seen one in person though. It better come damn close for $950!

In keeping with the title of this thread, here is my favorite G-1 -- also, my only. No tag, but the kind inhabitants of VLJ date this to any early to mid '60s. Enjoy.
