ChrisG43 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Can I get some feedback on this flight jacket? I've been out of the loop for a long time, but ran into this today, no labels/tags anywhere I can find, there is the USN stencil on the underside of the collar, Talon zipper, some fraying around the waist trim, what model/year is this? And what would be an approximate value (I can get this for about 170$)? Thanks, Chris... Link to post Share on other sites

doyler Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 looks like post WW2 USN 55-J- 14 or its successor the G1 knits looked replaced.The older jackets had a bidirectional weave waist band and the liner is repaired.Here is a topic on the WW2 era jackets In Memoriam:Lieutenant J.Kostelec 1-3 First Special Service Force MIA/PD 4 March 1944 ItalyI HAVE SEEN THE ENEMY AND IT IS DAYLIGHTForget about the tips..We'll get hell to pay (AC/DC)"If you cant get out and run with the big dogs then sit on the porch and bark at the cars going by.."

phantomfixer Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 The yellow USN under the collar will help date it....IIRC the yellow is post war..and white/silver(?)...is WWII .....the Navy guys will be along soon ...either way great jacket Link to post Share on other sites
Matt-M Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I would agree with Doyler's assessment. All of the appointments on this jacket suggest late WW2 to Korea era. As far as value...for this particular jacket, condition and size would dictate it's price. Link to post Share on other sites
