This isn’t a particularly rare or expensive jacket. But I don’t think rare and expensive was what Van was asking to see. In fact, when it comes to leather jackets, “rare or expensive” doesn’t necessarily translate to “favorite and keeper”. There probably isn’t even a good correlation between the two.
This g-1 is a good argument for that proposition. It’s a NOS Orchard that I bought new...directly from Orchard. It’s just a plain-Jane, cowhide, e-series G-1. It isn’t collectible. It has no historical value. And it has no mojo from flying sorties over Hanoi or Baghdad. But it’s my jacket. My creases. My scars. My beer stains. And though I have more collectible G-1s, this is the jacket I almost always reach for when I want to wear Navy leather.

That G-1 looks so cool on you.
