RMNZ G-1 Mil-J-7823

[escorpion_72]

Here are some pictures of my newly acquired G-1 by RMNZ.
I was lucky to get this one for a bargain price, I'm never lucky on greedBay
The jacket is awesome and the goatskin is thick, grainy and soft....wow
It looks and feels like NEW, the person I got ot from told me he bought it, used it twice and then stored it. I think it is from the mid 90's, I'm not 100% sure, so don't hold it against me

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these pictures.

Yes, mid-90's, the Real McCoy's labels had started by the late 90's.

Great jackets ... eh?

It looks like you were one of the lucky ones to snag such a sweet jacket. Are RMNZ jackets made a little long? It just looks longer than my issued one and my LW G-1's. Not an issue, just curious. I really like those big USN letters.

See what Escorpian says, but I don't think so ... my size 42 measures 22" plus the knit.

I usually use 40 or 42, but I was told that RMNZ made these jackets very trim so I went for the 44. I also wanted to be able to use it with a sweater.
So I quess it looks long and a little big on me but I'm very happy with it and for the cold fall here in Sweden it will look perfect with a sweater.
The leather on this jacket is so awsome....

It is a good looking jacket, it just looked like it was maybe a long or tall size, but it is hard to say when you don't know the other persons size and shape in relation to you. I have noticed that alot of G-1's seem slim and long. My issued one and my LW both are that way. I tend to like them better than the A-2 fit wise.
