About This Jacket:

This jacket is a well worn example from Edmund T. Church, a smaller contractor of Navy jackets in WWII. This company became Burjac Sportswear at some point around 1943, making AN-J-3A jackets and contuing on with the 55J14 G-1. The Church M-422A design is distinguished by these details: front leather panels sewn over the back at the seams (also a G&F design feature), black USN stencil, tight angles on the pocket flap stitching, a tall zipper box, and small and circular stitching on the fold stitchlines of the back of the collar. The lining color may vary from typical salmon to a brown shade. Church leather is often a lighter than average chocolate brown color.
