Victory in the Pacific hinged on air power, as US Navy and Marine Corps fighter pilots battled Japanese Zeros in deadly dogfights over the Solomons, Leyte Gulf, and in the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot until air supremacy in the Pacific was won. Naval aviators of WW2 were issued the classic M-422A goatskin leather flight jacket, which they prized for its warmth, comfort, and rakish good looks. Original M-422A flight jackets are quite rare today, so the famous Eastman Leather Clothing Company of Devon, England has produced an exacting recreation, and in many ways, their version exceeds the original. This US Navy USMC Marine WW2 EASTMAN PILOT M-422A GOATSKIN LEATHER FLIGHT JACKET is a top of the line MODERN REPRODUCTION by the famous Eastman Leather Clothing Company. It’s in MINT, unworn, new with tags condition, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or damage of any kind to the rich, tough “pebbled” brown goatskin leather construction. Most interestingly, it boasts a thick, lush orangish brown genuine mouton collar, sports a fully functional “TALON” metal front zipper with a matching goatskin leather pull, and bears the classic “SPECIFICATION M-422A / EASTMAN LEATHER CLOTHING” replica nomenclature label at the inside neck. The jacket is a Size 48, features the traditional single exposed button “scalloped” flap closure lower front pockets, the left of which is larger with a stitched pen slot along the inner edge, brown knit cuffs and “two way” waistband, button throat latch, crimson rayon lining, interior left hand pocket big enough to fit a. 45, belted, gusseted bi-swing back for mobility, and brown finished metal ventilation grommets at the underarms, and carries the iconic “USN” marking in silver at the underside of the back right collar. It retains the “CLASS 13 / ELC” maker’s tag, and is a beautiful example of a US Navy USMC Marine WW2 EASTMAN PILOT M-422A GOATSKIN LEATHER FLIGHT JACKET.
