Great info. I went through all 4 of my G jackets looking for these exact things. Only one of them was off when it came to the roll sticking on the indie. It is an older jacket with the white label. I think these were early issue jackets, but I am not 100% sure.
I don't know why everyone either charges more or flat out doesn't make a jacket in adult sizes (48 and up). I have one in 46 G-1 D series that is ok, but could use some length in the sleeves. It is a STAR SPORTSWEAR and creaks something fierce. My other 2 are 48. One is a LW and the other is a...
Great looking jackets to the both of you. I have two A-2s from USA, one in seal goat and the other other in russet hh.
on another note, why is it there are at least a handful of ex-Navy guys around no matter what forum I am on ... (21.5 USN ret)
I have it in my Aero FQHH HB and I get complimented on it all the time. Most people think it is a 50 year old jacket because you don't see that type of interior on modern clothes.
NO NO NO POWER POINTS ;)
Jokes aside, I always thought it was funny how some people obsessed over the fit of A-2s, G-1s and even P-coats based on historical pictures. When I was issued my seabag at bootcamp way back in 1991, I could not care less about my uniforms. I loved the dress blues...
On my first FQHH HB, I had a gun pocket on the left side of the jacket. Whenever I sat with it zipped up, it made an odd crease where the outside zip pocket and inside gun pocket pushed into each other. On my second HB, I had them move the pocket to right side. After 5 years, no issues. Just...
We always looked forward to the new issue of all hands. Great articles and pictures of duty stations and places to take leave. I think you can still get it, but in digital format now.
I love seeing these old peacoats. So much so, I took my chevrons off my coat and started to wear it out this year. It is not my original issued one. That one somebody else wanted it my than me and so it goes. Why do I feel like I need a white heavy sweater underneath it??? ;)
Great find. That jacket looks perfect on you. One of my G-1s is a bit noisy when I walk or move my arms as well. Based on the 4 G-1s that I have, I only hear it on my "D" series. Maybe because they swithced to cow instead of goat??? Pecards helped it a little. After a while, I just sort of...
The sleeve and body length look good, but it is too wide for you. Maybe about 2 sizes too wide. I know people will have different opinions about historical fit versus modern fit, but even current G-1s and A-2s still fit a bit tight. The jackets issued to me all were slim fitting along with all...
