Original WWII leather flight jacket in excellent restored condition. I acquired the jacket from an estate sale in Seattle. Back of the collar has a faded black US stamp, which makes this a AN-6552 jacket and dates it to 1943. The original owner was a Navy pilot in WWII… I will include this with the jacket. The restoration was done by Dena at Great Leather (you can google them), with an. The exterior as original as possible while. Making the jacket wearable again. The Goatskin leather has been brought back to life and looks amazing. I sourced the correct wool cuffs and waistband, and. Kept the original mouton fur collar in place despite it’s wear, because it gives the jacket a great vintage look. Dena has mouton and can replace the collar if it becomes unserviceable. I have included a photo of the jacket before restoration for comparison. The new lining is rayon and is not a perfect color match to an original lining (the original lining of this jacket was very worn and faded). The original label had been lost so I replaced it with a repro label. The zipper was about to break so it was also replaced, but the original leather tab was re-attached to the new zipper. If you are looking for an original WWII leather flight jacket that you can wear, this is a great option. I have worn it a few times and I always get compliments. Across the shoulders 18.5. Collar (seam) to bottom 25. The item “Original WWII M-422A G1 Leather Flight Jacket AN-6552 restored / WW2 US Navy” is in sale since Wednesday, October 14, 2020.

These B7 goggles are original frames and lenses that have been painstakingly restored using the best cushions and elastic bands available. Found in a crate in the corner of an old warehouse full of WW2 surplus, this new, unused frame was cleaned (but retains its original plating) and mated with the best replacement cushions you will ever find, bar none. They are not foam rubber, they are heavy duty stretchable silicon and made from new tooling exclusively from a European contractor, this is not china junk. These goggles have polycarbonate shatterproof and crack proof lenses. Also included is a set of original glass amber lenses. I have seen buyers use the 3M security window film on the inside of the lenses, to keep the glass from shattering, 3M guarantees their film is not breakable, check it out on tube. Comes in a current correct reproduction box. I challenge you to find a better restored goggle in the world..
