Patched 1970 Brill Brothers G-1

[bgrant570]

Hi there gents. I posted a new member bio yesterday where you can read a little bit about this jacket (TLDR, it was my dad's), but here is the picture heavy post about it. I tried to get all the pertinent details, but let me know if there's anyting else you'd like to know or see. Also, I posted about the significance of some of the patches in the patch thread. Enjoy!

Thanks! Just noticing I left that one pocket unbuttoned. That's were I keep the patches that didn't make it onto the jacket, lol.

Another really nice jacket.

I own 2 "BRILL BROTHERS" -1 in the "issued" version - another one in the version for the civilian market. Both jackets ain't real "impressive" concerning quality of the leather compared to other makers.

What's your impression?

Well, I’m probably not the best person to ask. I have touched exactly two G-2’s; this one, and one missing a label which I believe is an E series. I like the leather better on this one than that one. That’s about all I can tell you.
