Hello,
Offered for sale is a vintage WWII era USN-USAAF goatskin leather flight jacket made under the AN-J-3A pattern by Monarch Manufacturing Company in 1944. This jacket is tagged size 36, but please reference the measurements to decide the fit.
The jacket is in great condition overall. The original black painted Talon bell zipper works as it should, still retaining the original leather pull strip. All buttons are in place and securely sewn. The rayon lining and maker tag are about as good as they come. The black US stencil retains strong visibility. No signs of removed patches or repairs except the obvious replaced sleeve cuff ends. Also, the golden mouton collar is nice and fluffy with the exception of two small bald spots at the middle of the back and on right lapel end. Other notable issues include moth nips in the waist knit, and some modest checking along the sleeves and shoulders.
