help with a USN flight jacket

[snafu100]

have a flight jacket and I am looking for some help as to the fact that is it US or after market and to the era of its use thanks for any help -Pete

 

tried to get a picture of the tag but came out to fuzzy but it reads to what I can make out

Jacket,flying, man's

INTERMEDIATE TYPE G-4

a line I can't make out then the FS

???-258-7795

Irvin B.Foster Sportswear Co.

Contract No.DSA-?-8825

Size 38

 

Also it has USN punched into the leather next to the zipper

If it's a "modern" issue G-1 the letters USN should be punched in the fly. An older version would have USN painted under the collar.

Looks like a late 1960's G-1.

 

Nylon lining.

 

Paper clip zipper.

 

Waste band looks synthetic.

 

I've seen a lot of these jackets from 1968 (for some reason).
