Hi Folks,

 

I had this for awhile. I bought this with leather pants and boots. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

 

Thanks in advance.

Jeff,

 

Well the body of the jacket looks good, I know you can date it by the style/color of the stencil.... but that info is not on hand for me at the moment.....the cuffs and waist band appear to have been replaced with a synthetic material.....it might be worth it to find some higher quality (non-fuzzy re-replacements).....same with the zipper.....it looks broken...replace it with a "good" zipper. The boots are great, had an AAF pair made by Converse once..... be careful with the sheep skin though, that stuff is like parchment.....same probably goes for the pants.....very delicate, will rip like tissue paper..... usually those boots and pants would have been worn with an M-445a sheep skin jacket, not a G-1......
