Which is your favorite G-1?

Orchard coast guard, это самый удачный fit.

I recently bought my second USN G1 jacket, this time a 1982 dated Brill Brothers one. It has some quality control issues compared to my Star 1968 jacket, such as the two bottom leather zipper panels being a slightly uneven length. The original zipper is still there and the retainer box is marked with a 'C' (maybe Conmar). However the original zipper slider body has been replaced with a YKK one, which is fine with me. The leather is cow hide and not goatskin. The bottom elastic waist band is stretched and no longer a snug fit but I actually like it that way. The size is a 42. Not a classic or fancy repro maybe but still a good everyday wear jacket for me now. I believe that no G1 jackets were issued from the late 1970s - early 1980s, so I guess that this was one of the first batch made when these jackets were re-issued in 1982. The leather is very good, and soft, for being 36 years old. All in all, I'm happy.

If it does not squeaking, then this is a great success and this is a comfortable jacket. I sold my same one Brill a few years ago due to the fact that it squeaked "like a flock of seagulls" ((c) Atticus Finch)

Well, it is comfortable for sure. Doesn't squeak like seagulls but maybe more like a nest of mice; that is it does squeak a little bit.

[QUOTE = "bn1966, post: 2196542, member: 28487"] Il mio Eastman (taglia 46) si adattava bene alle spalle e alla vita ma arrivava un po 'aderente al petto e troppo lungo nelle maniche.

Il mio Star Sportwear 48 si adattava ovunque tranne che sulle spalle (troppo strette).

Ho provato qualche scommessa sconosciuta (senza etichetta) 48 per problemi di servizio ... orribile pezzo di pelle e terribile drappo.

Tutto quanto sopra è stato spostato: ho seguito la via personalizzata con Wested Leather e mi hanno fatto costruire un ibrido USN G-1 / M-422A con maglie A-2 (rosso mattone). La pelle di capra è stata fornita da Wested e ho acquistato tutto il resto, inclusa la cerniera NOS G-1; il risultato è stato ottimo, davvero bello e una buona vestibilità in generale (la pelle tira leggermente sul petto gli ultimi pochi centimetri della cerniera).

Essendo stato incoraggiato dal progetto Wested, ho continuato ad abituarmi con Steve S (che a volte bazzica qui intorno). Steve mi ha costruito una bella capra ANJ-3 che è attualmente in fase di "rodaggio". Il lavoro di Steve è altamente raccomandato, ho altre idee sulle giacche che vorrei che Steve facesse.

Attualmente alla ricerca di un altro problema di servizio G-1 [/ QUOTE]

... AVI G-1 ...

I have one AVI G-1 (one week old or so…). It has a funny smell – goat smell, I assume…
It smells less now, but I wonder how long it takes to go away…

Goats don't smell, except with their noses. But goat meat stinks.

Thank

Thank you so much! That really helps...

Just now finding this thread. I only mess with originals from M-422A through 7823C jackets. I got to say the most comfortable jacket I got is a 7823C Ralph Edwards. The jackets looks unused except for a few small darned holes in the cuffs. The leather on this jacket is really thin compared to my other jackets. Weighs a lot less than my heaviest a 55J14 Pritzker. Extremely comfortable to wear compared to the others. All my jackets are size 46.
Here is that Ralph Edwards.

Buzz Rickson G-1 in goatskin. So soft and so much mobility.
