    Flight Apparel Industries G1 - Opinions?

    I purchased a mint Flight Apparel Industries G-1 several years ago, and I consider it an outstanding jacket. The detail and stitching match nearly perfectly with my blue tag Cooper and issued Ralph Edwards G-1's. Mine is goatskin, with a Dynal collar. If you can get one at a good price, grab it...

    My latest acquisition, and first "issued" G-1

    Thanks for the information, Atticus. How do the the E-series Ralph Edward jackets stack up in terms of quality?

    Like a Phoenix...Bill’s Old G-1

    What a great-looking jacket that turned out to be! Amazing results, given the condition it was in when you got it.

    My latest acquisition, and first "issued" G-1

    I have four other reproduction G-1's, but recently purchased my first 'issued' G-1, a Ralph Edwards size 42 regular, made in 1984 (if I'm reading the barely-legible tag correctly?). In short, I love this jacket. It fits me perfectly, and the color is a lighter shade of brown than my other dark...

    Want to buy/trade for a Cooper G-1

    Hadn't really considered that option, but I'm open to it, depending on cost. If I went that route, I'd like to have the cuffs replaced, too, since they are a little loose for my tastes. Can you tell who does that kind of work and how to contact them? I'm on the US Gulf Coast.

    Want to buy/trade for a Cooper G-1

    I'm looking to buy - or trade for - a 'blue tag' Cooper G-1 flight jacket, size 40 reg. I have this jacket in size 42, but the sleeves are just too long. So, I'm looking to buy a size 40, or trade my jacket for the smaller size. Thanks! pjman792@yahoo.com

    Flight Apparel Industries - major disappointment

    Sorry, pardon the typo - I meant a G-1 jacket, obviously. The Flight apparel Industries G-1 is really very nice.

    Pardon the typo - should read 'G-1'. Sorry, I meant a G-1 jacket, obviously. Pardon the typo. The Flight Apparel Industries G-1 jacket I have is really very nice, and quite authentic.

    Flight Apparel Industries - major disappointment

    RE: your Flight Apparel Industries disappointment Sorry to hear of your displeasure with your FAI A-2, but the company did make some good G-2 jackets. I bought one of their G-2's a couple of years ago, and couldn't be happier. It's a very authentic, well-made jacket, with supple goatskin and a...

    A question for Atticus Finch:

    Hi - I have some questions about Cooper A-2 jackets, and it was suggested to me you would be the right person to ask. About 20 or more years ago, I was given a new Cooper 'orange tag' A-2 jacket. Were the 'orange tag' Coopers the commercially sold version of the Air Force-issue jacket? It's...

    Cooper A-2

    About 20 or more years ago, I was given a new Cooper 'orange tag' A-2 jacket. I'm not sure, but I think the 'orange tag' Coopers were the commercially sold version of the Air Force-issue jacket. It's goatskin, with a brown cotton lining. What's the history and quality of these jackets? The...

    Thanks to you both! But... I appreciate the link to the thread. But does anyone out there actually HAVE one of these Flight Apparel Industries G-1's? I'd like to hear from someone who has experience with these jackets and how they'd rate the quality and workmanship compared to other G-1's...

    Need info on Flight Apparel Industries G-1 jacket

    I'm new to the forum, and I'm thrilled at the kind of information I've found here so far! Anyway, I recently bought this Flight Apparel Industries G-1 flight jacket off eBay from a military surplus store in Pensacola, FL. I'm pretty certain it's not military issue, as I can't find this...
