D-1 Mechanics Jacket

Found at the bottom of a duffle bag.  Sure wish it was in better shape.  Thought you’d enjoy seeing.  Not many left.  Name appears to be BRONOSEN

Correction:  BRONORSEN

I have two D-1s. They both survived a bit better but not by much and surely not better than my B-3s. It's funny, even in period photos they already look worn out.

Thanks, dmar836.  Since you own a couple any advice on pricing this would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.  Brian

it is a survivor, and what Dave said is true, they look beat up in the period pics...the flightline is tough on clothing

[dmar836]

Without functioning zippers they just don't bring much. They are commonly found this way. You might be able to clean them up as representative examples but that adds a lot of time and careful effort with little financial gain. Plus the blown out areas indicate the shearling is likely rotted. Still , I bet you could make it look a lot better. I would use a lanolin based soap and oil. I generally don't advocate lots of oiling, etc. but there is little to lose here I'm afraid.
