Stunning mens authentic 1950s Intermediate G1 flight jacket
Made of goatskin leather with a real mouton fur collar
Made by L W FOSTER sportswear co inc
Spec number: MIL-J-7823(AER)
Theses jackets were made between 1952 - 1960
There were numerous 7823 contracts, with L W FOSTER having several over the decade
Foster jackets are among the most common of the 7823 (AER) series and are very well made and proportioned.
The jacket is in incredible condition for its age, i would certainly give it a 9/10
The knit cuffs and waistband are in Grade A condition
USN stencil to storm flap

There are a couple of small scuffs to the leather near the shoulder and near to the bottom of the zipper area, the mouton collar does have a slight discolouration to one side and a small bald spot, also one of the armpit eyelets is missing, but these are the only faults that we can find, there are no thin spots and the leather is beautifully soft and supple. The lining is also all intact and in excellent condition.

We have dealt with many original flight jackets over the past few years and this has got to be the best condition we have seen in a jacket of this age.
