The Goatskin on this jacket looks outstanding! It looks identical to the hide on some of the original 1940's M-422 jackets I have had. Far beyond the "mall jacket" leather I got on the standard Cockpit version I had around 5 years ago.
The seam on the waist portion is in the specs somewhere. I...

Looks Nice! I like the pocket shape. Looks like they are using sewn together wrist knits instead specification one piece wool knits. I wonder if they are wool or a poly blend? Also a modern paperclip style zipper instead of a silver Talon found on most original M422 jackets. It would be a more...

I am sad to report that a seller based in India has stolen my listing and pictures to sell a cheap replica of my USN 37J1 Jacket. Do not buy anything from this seller! He is a fraud and may just take your money, or send you a crappy jacket, if at all.
Seller is mubashop07
Here's the stolen...

Here's a breakdown real quick from the specs. It appears it could have been issued depending on other defects. The pocket position itself it not disqualifying.
Could be. On my way out so I can't read through the specs right now. The defects present are added up to a total amount of "points" to pass or fail Q.C. This defect is in the Major category. Not sure how that translates to the tolerances allowed. I do know that I have never seen the pockets this...
Yep probably a factory second. Here's the specs. Defects: Categories Major / Minor A / Minor B
It is doubtful that this jacket was issued. Probably sold as a factory second. These jackets are pretty...
Thanks! Capeskin in general is a bit stiffer and more durable than Lambskin, But still very soft. Much softer than Goatskin. Our Capeskin is chrome tanned like the original hides used. Chrome tanning provides a more durable surface. We tested our Capeskin with hot water treatments and even 3...
