Gents,

I have been out of US for a couple months now, putting a break on my posts but new finds have kept coming. Here we have a mint example from a Vietnam era G-1. Jackets in this condition are getting harder and harder.

What makes this one more attractive is the fact that comes from the scarce B series, one of the rarest of the spec 7823. This example was made by the prominent Ralph Edwards Sportswear under contract DSA-1-1040-63-C, which dates fiscal year, 1963.

The goatskin leather is superb. All parts are genuine to the jacket. Mouton collar is immaculate and shows a brown chocolate shade. Knits are pristine, which is extremely rare after these years. Blackened Conmar zipper works perfectly.

This contract fits perfectly, probably my next wearer.

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Regards,
Jorge
