About This Jacket:

This is a great example of an Aircraft Transport coat that the Navy issued to some aircrews from 1940 through the end of WWII. These jackets were often seen in use in Anti-Submarine operations based in England. This jacket is extremely well made (an Edmund Church hallmark) and is in lightly used condition. For a size 38, it's rather large. The M-69F has some features in common with the M-422a, a jacket made in the same period (1940-1943). The leather is vegetable-tanned goatskin and quite heavy, and the lower half of the lining has Alpaca. Note the upper lining, which is of brown material, which Church is known for. Other makers would use a salmon colored material.
