MattS Posted January 13, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2017 I was just offered this jacket. I'm not sure if it's a recently made aftermarket one or not, and need help determining the value. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted January 13, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 13, 2017 Spec # should be MIL-J-7823(X) this is a W&G civilian repop...good jacket though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted January 13, 2017 Thanks! Worth less than an issue jacket? $75 give or take I'm guessing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted January 14, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 14, 2017 Good start...is a W&G so maybe more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted January 14, 2017 Thanks, I am going to look at it today. He claims it still "has a transponder sewn into the lining", so not sure what I'm getting in to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted January 14, 2017 Well, the "transponder" turned out to be a breath mint in the right front pocket. Any comments appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 14, 2017 Share #7 Posted January 14, 2017 Well, the "transponder" turned out to be a breath mint in the right front pocket. Any comments appreciated! Now THAT is a first! It's a civilian piece, but the size is nice. It's worth whatever someone would want to pay to wear it. I think you could probably get $75 out of it if you were to flip it.

MattS Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted January 18, 2017 I was offered a trade, this jacket for a Flight Suits LTD G-1, same size. It's the older style, curved pocket flaps and more of the 1950s G-1 style. Figuring I have about $100 in this one, is that a decent deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share #10 Posted January 18, 2017 Another shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted January 18, 2017 Share #11 Posted January 18, 2017 If both were on the table, and I had to choose...Most likely I would go with the Flight Suits G-1...better hides, better stitching (depending on when the WG was made) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kestrel452 Posted February 5, 2017 Share #13 Posted February 5, 2017 Nice jacket. Which of the new production G-1's do the guys here typically like the most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
