KASTAUFFER Posted August 29, 2009 Author #51 Posted August 29, 2009 I used to have an M-422 but I sold it like an idiot. Mine was made by Monarch. I doubt I will find another. Kurt

bazelot Posted February 10, 2010 #64 Posted February 10, 2010 thanks for posting. I will try to take pictures of all my remaining M-422As (around 20) this weekend and post them here.
jerry_k Posted May 21, 2010 #65 Posted May 21, 2010 Wow! What a nice USN Jacket.... You have a lot of it !!! Thanks for photos:)!!!! Regards, JK
KASTAUFFER Posted August 6, 2010 Author #66 Posted August 6, 2010 Finally found myself a nice example of a Gordon & Ferguson Co. contract M-422A (used but not abused. I would rather have a jacket a pilot wore than an un-issued one) . I still have some research to do on the pilot. It is marked USN in white under the collar.
KASTAUFFER Posted August 6, 2010 Author #70 Posted August 6, 2010 Will it fit me? (hint, hint) Size 36 . This rounds out my M-422a collection too! I now have 5 different contracts including an AN-6552. I need a Monarch M-422 and an AN-J-3. All the M-422A's I have are pictured in this thread: Willis & Geiger , H&L Block, Gordon & Ferguson, and an Edmund T. Church. Kurt
Stony Posted August 6, 2010 #71 Posted August 6, 2010 Size 36 . This rounds out my M-422a collection too! I now have 5 different contracts including an AN-6552. I need a Monarch M-422 and an AN-J-3. All the M-422A's I have are pictured in this thread: Willis & Geiger , H&L Block, Gordon & Ferguson, and an Edmund T. Church. Kurt The AN-J-3 is going to be hard to find and they're not marked or labeled from what I've seen. However, you might peruse the "Vintage Leather Jackets" forum for more information. As for the M-422, you're probably going to pay a pretty penny for one of those. Good luck!

I was watching the auction as well
bazelot Posted August 21, 2010 #73 Posted August 21, 2010 Quick question to moderators. Why was this post un-pinned?
KASTAUFFER Posted August 23, 2010 Author #74 Posted August 23, 2010 Kurt, Did you get this jacket? I was watching the auction as well I did get this jacket!
bazelot Posted August 23, 2010 #75 Posted August 23, 2010 I agree with Baz, this one should stay pinned. Here's one more WW2 Navy jacket from my collection to add to the thread. Nice size 44 G&F M-422A. that's a nice one. I love the G&F M-422As. I had the same one size 44 also but I sold it awhile back. I still have a size 42 G&F that is in super shape and named to a commander. I should post pics of it. Thanks for sharing.
