    G-1 / M-422A USN Jacket Triubute Project Comes To Fruition

    Evening Gents, The postman has been & gone & I've now taken ownership of my winter project. It started last September when I finally admitted that neither my original 70's Star Sportwear G-1 (size 48) or my ELC M-422A (46) fitted properly. The G-1 was perfect in every respect apart from the...

    Eastman A-1 size 48: 2 Weeks In

    Just getting to grips with my Cape-skin ELC A-1 in size 48, love the classic design, tailored fit & caramel color of this jacket. It's nice to have a light weight wearer of a flight jacket in an early style that isn't automatically recognized by the lay person as a military design. Two weeks...
