About This Jacket:

This is a 1964 contract G-1 by Ralph Edwards. It makes for a good contrast of materials used, between the 1962 size 44 7823B G-1 by Ralph Edwards in this collection. The leather is quite thick, and has a light chocolate color. It's very stiff, as the jacket wasn't used much and appears to be in almost brand-new condition. The lining has a strong green color, which is common among many mid-1960's G-1 jackets. The mouton is great, with no fading yet from sunlight. The knits look to be completely unused, as they have no holes at all and are still very stiff and tight. The jacket fits well as a 46, with a slightly shorter body than the comparable Irvin Foster jackets.

Collection:
