USN WWII M-422A leather flight jacket. This is a really interesting jacket. At some point in time, the mouton was removed from the jacket, and it was refaced in leather, giving it a look more like an ANJ-3 or an A-2 flight jacket. This looks to have being done in the WWII or postwar era. I have been told by some experts over on Suit Up FB page, that this is a Gordon & Ferguson made jacket, (thanks for that guys). This is a true 422, not a G-1. It has one pocket that measures 7 inches wide, and the other 8 inches wide. This jacket does not have the typical USN painted on the back of the collar. The spec label is missing, and the lining were the spec label should be has been replaced, most likely from damage. The interior pocket is white cotton duck or thin canvas etc. The cuffs look to have been replaced, not sure about the bottom waste cuff. The talon zipper works. The leather around the collar and shoulders has the most wear, and is thin. There are thread marks where a small two inch patch was sewn on the space where the make tag is normally sewn. The whole jacket is still quite wearable. You just do not see these jackets in this size often. The Mouton collar could be replaced, although I like the plane leather look, makes you wonder why this was done, and when. It pains me to sell, as it fits me really well, but the truck needs some work. Chest, from seem to seem laid flat under armpits. 24 inches, 46 to 48 inch chest. Waist from seam to seam laid flat: 23 inches. Length along arms top, from top of shoulder seem to cuff. Length along bottom of arms from pit to cuff: 22 inches.
