Worn just a few times, this jacket is in excellent like-new condition.
Buzz Rickson's brand is renowned for producing truly standout reproductions of military wear including the famous G-1 Flight Jacket.
The goatskin comes in at 2.5-3-ounce weight and is fully vegetable tanned and pigment dyed only on the surface. The leather is not at all stiff or heavy, but it is plump and robust, and fully unlike the heavily processed, chrome-tanned goatskin so commonly found in mainstream jackets. Surface dying is how the original 7823's were dyed, which means the Buzz Rickson's G-1 will age and distress just as we see on those cherished vintage jackets.
■MEASUREMENTS (approx)
Chest width 21in.
Shoulder width 18in.
Arm length 25.5in.
Back length 25in.
■DETAIL
• Copy of the original style contractor label produced on a vintage shuttle loom
• Custom manufacturing of the correct weight and weave rayon acetate lining dyed the original shade of a purple-like brown
• Custom manufacturing of the correct two-ply, worsted-wool cuffs with the narrow weave graduating into the wider weave at top, dyed dark brown
• Custom manufacturing of the correct single-ply, bi-directional, worsted-wool waistband, dyed dark brown
• Two button-down exterior pockets lined with all-cotton twill precisely matching 1950 USN specs.
• One snap-down interior pocket lined with heavy-weight, all-cotton duck twill precisely matching 1950 USN specs.
• Exact copy of the vintage-style, blackened-metal Conmar Conmatic zipper on jacket front, with zip tape made of 100% cotton HBT fabric, not incorrect poly-cotton
• Leather pull tab on zipper for easy functioning with gloves
• Heavy wind flap protector located behind zipper closure
• Bi-swing action back and gusseted armpits (with metal air ventilators) for greater range of motion without restriction
• Gorgeous, plush, genuine mouton-fur collar with backing leather correctly reinforced with trapunto stitching to maintain collar shape and help keep collar up when the need arises.
• Vegetable-tanned, 3-ounce, goatskin that is not overly stiff or heavy, maintaining the true feel of the original jackets. The dye coating is lacquered on, just as it should be for a 7823 G-1, and it's also very matte in finish; the result is a leather that will distress and age over time from use and wear to yield a vintage look that is on par with anything made in the 1950's.
• Assembly using vintage sewing machines
