Californian 1940's help!

Dear Loungers, I'd like to trace back the history of this jacket I have recently bought: it should be 40s and (I guess) inspired somehow by the M-422 flight jacket.
Am I correct?
Any opinion/suggestion?

This is from the 50’s and yes, it’s a civilian version of the M-422A (which later turned into the G-1)

Thank you

50's Sears Roebuck made similar

M422a never had hand warmers also

Yes, sure

But neither G1 had...only B15s had warmers...
The collar's style tho is closer to 422 (wider) than G1

I know that it's closer to a m422a it's a 50s civilian model, no military G1 had hand warmers

Sure about it? All the military G1 I have seen (vintage and loyal repro) were with patch pockets and no warmers...

What? Since when did I say they had warmers? Read again

Those were 50s civil jackets. The design was popular during those years. Schott made them popular again in the 80s. One very practical design, specially if it had a removable mouton and vest.
