Description
This authentic US Navy G-1 flight jacket dates to 1969–1972, placing it in the Vietnam War era. Rich brown leather, a warm brown sherpa fur collar and ribbed cuffs and hem give it the familiar flight-jacket profile. The original hardware includes a Scovill zipper pull, a small but telling detail for anyone who appreciates the character of military outerwear.
The leather shows the surface distressing that comes with a well-worn vintage jacket. Its substantial texture and compact ribbed hem make the silhouette the focus, while the collar and generous front flap pockets bring a useful contrast of surfaces and proportions. Wear it zipped for a more contained shape or open over a simple shirt.
