Great jacket Dimitri, unfortunately less and less decent copies left and I must say that the price is very high...I mean, early ' 80s issues..Vintage Soviet AF flight jacket

Thanks, Alex, it's original from 1975. At one time, at the request of the VLJ members, I did a detailed review of this jacket here:
Soviet air force vintage leather jacket from 1975
Recently received this nice jacket made in 1975 from one of my distant relative. This is an early version of the 4th (by informal classification) pattern of Soviet leather air force flight jackets, owned by the commander of the Il-76 military transport aircraft. The jacket was in excellent...

Agree, the modern repro of this jacket are not copies, it is just a miserable semblance (a different cut, zips, leather ... in general, everything is different, although manufacturers are trying to pass off their products as a "exact copy of that famous jacket")

Burt,
you just saved my day:
I was looking at the picture for roughly 2 minutes, wondering "What the hell is wrong with that G-1?"

@Jorgeenriqueaguilera, cool!
Have you invented a time machine? Every time you have original jackets one cooler than the other and they appear very quickly one by one!

Do you work for an airline?
Yes I do. I am working in the Hub Control Centre of Austrian Airlines in our Viennese HQ at VIE. Our office is one level above the dispatch and flight prep offices so I get to use the elevator with our pilots quite often...
Before that I was working as load planner and loading supervision guy for Cargolux 747s and other airlines and aircraft my handling company worked for...loads of memorable stories
