    Very cool! It seems like the 55J14 series of jackets are more rare than the M-422a's. We just don't see that many around anymore. Good luck with her and congrats!

    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    Just added a vintage 1940's Pan Am airlines service pin to the leather tab (tooled leather with Japanese kanji that has my wedding anniversary date) onto my new M-422a.

    'Experimental Test Sample' AN-J-3 Jacket Project

    Jacket looks GREAT! Steve is a real gentleman who makes the whole custom-jacket process fun, interesting and successful. I love the W&G m-422a he made for me and I wear it every day. Congrats on your new jacket; wear it in good health!

    B-3 Jacket as a Daily Wear

    DD, try a pair of LL Bean flannel-lined jeans. They sit on your natural waistline (they are not low-cut hipster pants) and are toasty warm! Also, if you have thin legs, that extra layer of flannel material makes the jeans look a bit more robust then regular jeans.

    Hi Kurt, Here's a much better fit pic without the sweater underneath. I've also updated my W&G post with some pics as well. Steve had this French goatskin in 2 shades, russet (which I opted for) and a seal brown (which he dyes himself). He said this goat is used by John (Goodwear leather).

    NEW W&G M-422a repro

    Steve S. is a regular here on TFL and you can PM him. I don't think he has a specific website.

    NEW W&G M-422a repro

    I've got the wingspan of an albatross so finding a good, comfortable fit is always a challenge. Steve nailed the measurements I gave him and produced a really great jacket that fits me just the way I like. The jacket is soft and super grainy and the pebbled goatskin hide is really popping with...

    NEW W&G M-422a repro

    Wearing just the new jacket (without that sweater underneath) shows the fit much better. Love the drape and the overall dimensions were exactly what I intended when placing the custom order.

    Great idea for a thread. Steve is a real gentleman to work with and the jacket he did for me was a home run! I think you'll be very happy with his work.

    NEW W&G M-422a repro

    ^Thanks Charles! It's a Merchant Marine officer crusher cap with WWII badge, chinstrap and brass side buttons (all beautifully weathered with verdigris and patina). The other captains at my job wear the ubiquitous baseball-style cap while I opted for a more traditional look. * I totally agree...

    NEW W&G M-422a repro

    The jacket has a slightly longer body than my G-1 jackets (as per WWII M-422a's) and is super comfortable to wear (I've been wearing it for 8 hours at a time while at work).

    NEW W&G M-422a repro

    Here are some quick fit pics taken at work on a cold, blustery afternoon (wearing a medium weight sweater over a shirt). The sunlight really brings out a truer color of the russet goat.

    Restoring a vintage G-1/M422-A as a project

    The 1950's G-1 jackets (55-J-14 or 7823 AER) are great investments! They have awesome thick goatskin leather and should be relatively easy to find at reasonable prices. If the jacket has a decent (and real) mouton collar and the original label that'd be a real plus. Good luck.
