About This Jacket:

J.A. Dubow, a major A-2 jacket maker from WWII, and a company known for its baseball gloves, had one U.S. Navy contract for G-1 jackets, which dates to the mid-1950's. These jackets are fairly rare, so finding an example in this condition is great. The jacket has a number of unique design features: long body and very short sleeves, front leather wrapping around the jacket as an M-422a so that the back is small, a small wind flap, and pockets that are far from the zipper. The leather is often quite dark, and with this jacket, very soft and heavy. The mouton has faded to a very light color. The knits and zipper were replaced recently by Aero Leather.
