Hi,
For what it is worth, I have an original B-15C which is marked a size 42. I am not sure about BR measurements but I know what these original measurements are.
For those interested in a comparison, those measurements for this original jacket are 20" shoulders and 25.5" pits...
Hi Bob,
I have two of these same sized G-1 Werber jackets. They seem to have extreme variations with their proportions according to the stated size. However, one characteristic all of my Werber jackets have in common and that is long sleeves in proportion to the length of the body of the...

I am looking for a NOS aluminum small toothed zipper with brown fabric tape. These zippers were used predominately in on 7823 ( AER ) G-1 jackets during the 1950s.

Besides being nearly in nearly unworn condition it was an extremely heavy...
Hi BB,
I have just acquired a Cagleco G-1 jacket. This jacket is 911A mode. If possible I would like to get a look at your jacket as to make some comparisions. If you still have that jacket would you please post some pics?
Cheers, Dave
