I noticed a bunch of W&G 55J14 G-1s on eBay. Sizes ran from 38 -46. The contract number reads N383S-39943, which is a Star Sportswear contract number. These are pretty good copies and I have one to use when I need a beater to do dirty stuff (making mud angels, addressing a Xmas card to the ex, etc.). What's interesting is the prices range from $290 to $800. Same jacket. Same condition. All are listed as original, possibly due the small leather label on the inside of the wind flap with Naval Aviator wings which says that it's authentic. The price range is what stands out. $800 seems excessive for a repro of very good tho not great copy. I saved the more expensive ones to see who bites.
