Authentic Vietnam-era U.S. Navy G-1 leather flight jacket manufactured by Star Sportswear Mfg. Co. under a 1970 military contract.
This jacket belonged to my father, a U.S. Navy pilot who served during the Vietnam War. It has remained in our family and has been carefully stored in a closet for the past several decades.
Details:
* Manufacturer: Star Sportswear Mfg. Co.
* Model: G-1, MIL-J-7823D (WP)
* Contract: DSA100-70-C-0483
* Size: 38 (fits like a medium)
* Dark brown leather with fur collar
* Original knitted cuffs and waistband
* Perforated USN lettering on wind flap
* Original military contract label
Condition:
Very good vintage condition for its age. The leather shows natural creasing, slight stiffness, and minor surface wear, but no visible cracking. The original cuffs retain their elasticity, the zipper works, and the collar and lining are well preserved. Light/slate wear marks on the front right. See photos.
The jacket has not been restored or conditioned. Please review photographs for details.
A genuine piece of Vietnam-era U.S. Navy aviation history, with family provenance from its original owner.
