Vintage 1964 Schott Bros USN G-1 Flight Jacket - Original Military Issue Size 44 For Sale

The G-1 is one of the most iconic flight jackets ever made — a garment with a direct lineage to World War II naval aviation, refined through decades of military specification and issued to US Navy and Marine Corps aviators from the 1940s onward. This example is the genuine article: a 1964 contract piece, manufactured by Schott Bros. Inc. of New York City, one of the most storied outerwear makers in American history and a primary military contractor throughout the postwar era.The label tells you everything: Type G-1, MIL-J-78240 (MS), Spec. No. 675, Contract No. 73-64-457. That contract number pins this jacket to 1964 — mid-decade, mid-Cold War, at a moment when US naval aviation was operating at full intensity. Someone wore this jacket on a base, on a flight line, possibly on a carrier. It has the weight and presence of that history.Notable wear. Missing front buttons. Small rip under arm. Zipper works great. Buttons on neck are present.
