    Admiral's A-1 Jacket

    The original number came via the late David Brown (deeb7) on VLJF (derived from Full Gear I think), but he might have transcribed it incorrectly I guess. I'll take another look at the label...

    Arrgh, can't upload the image to Photobucket (wrong format), but here is the link to the EBay auction for the Mirabelli A-1 (warts and all with zipper added :-( )...

    Admiral's A-1 Jacket

    Pete, the common label on the 31-800 P contract is this one without a manufacturer listed (the Gordon & Ferguson jackets have this) with a smaller size label offset. If I could find the image, I have seen another label for the later W535 AC 2486 contract (W535 AC 2486, DWG No. 074734, circa...

    Admiral's A-1 Jacket

    John, I've never seen the inner edge of the collar showing the reinforcement of the snap before. It's difficult to see the profile of the collar in these shots (slightly foreshortened), but it has the look of a 'Letterman' type collar. The period shots show more typical A-1 type knitted...

    Admiral's A-1 Jacket

    Very interesting, the cape is in surprisingly good condition given the age and usual fragility (I guess aided by the more limited flying undertaken by a Rear Admiral?). Given the possible value of these rare survivors, the possibility of a producing a fake is obvious, but it has the right...

    Just got my SECOND Aero...

    Haven't seen Bunting's jacket from the side before - there's a more common group shot that's usually seen. I'd noted the darker fleece before, but this is a CC Irvin, isn't it?

    Navy 37J1 influences Orvis "A-2"

    This is just to tide me over, flaws and all - I'd really like the RMNZ 37J1B as the Zielinski contract, or the BR in the same size and sea wash finish. The likelihood of finding either in a 44 is slim, but I live in hope.

    Navy 37J1 influences Orvis "A-2"

    I've just picked up one of these W&G NA-1 jackets (the 37J1B repro) in a 46 regular on EBay for $150 and I'll get the windflap tailored in a similar fashion. On originals, the windflap is squared off and ends about half an inch below the collar knit. Will post photos when I get it.
