    Overall exceeded expectations
    Jacket itself is well made. Wide lenzip zipper, genuine goatskin is just feeling amazing. So soft. And mouton fur collar. It keeps you warm. Tested in snowy climate, it works. Overal craftsmanship, quality, competetive pricing, shipping (they know how to send international packages for your benefit... ) is perfect. It arrived to Poland in less than a week. Received, after all inspections and customs in less than 2 weeks. I am satisfied. Would recommend this jacket.

    TEN YEAR G-1 REVIEW
    I originally purchased my G-1, seal brown, goatskin custom jacket back in Feb of 2013. I did what Shaul Dover recommended and I first bought/ordered the standard G-1 to try on for size. This is an extra hassle but for a jacket that will last the rest of your life (and will be handed down) it’s worth it. Try on the standard jacket, make all your measurement adjustments, send back the regular jacket and order your custom jacket with confidence. MINE: Custom arm and body length, custom A2 snap-down collar with detachable fur collar (I don’t recommend the detachable fur collar, either go A-2 style custom collar, or stick with the sewn-on fur as original. The detachable doesn’t quite fit right or look right because it goes over the leather A2-style collar. It’s a compromise.), inside pockets on both sides, plus standard map pocket. NO handwarmer side-entry pockets, custom-printed name, etc, on the inner lining.
    This jacket has been my go-to jacket for the last 10 years. It’s the jacket I wear the most. I have pictures I wanted to upload but I don’t see an option for that. Suffice to say that it has held up amazingly well. I mean even the wool cuffs on the wrists and around the waist are still just as snug as the day I ordered it. They’re not frayed, discolored, or losing thread. No seams have given out. And even on the inside around where the hanger loop is--where the back of your neck rubs--has not failed at all. Overall, the jacket has a wonderful, but subtle, patina. The goatskin has held up fantastically. This jacket has been worn a lot. Multiple, multi-day road trips over the years. Hot weather, (some unavoidable) rainy weather, the occasional motorcycle ride (usually I wear my custom cowhide mc jackets, the G-1 goatskin is not heavy enough for a crash in my opinion), well below freezing weather (I live in Montana. Tip-- Layer fleece, or an M65 field coat liner, or wool sweater under jacket with long underwear to get closer to 4 season wearability.) I’ve occasionally used Lexol cleaner & preserver on it every few years if it’s looking dry. Just did it recently and it made it “squeaky” when wearing, which I hate, but it stopped after a couple days.)
    TIP: don’t leave it hung up on a narrow hanger all the time. I use wide hangers and switch between running the hanger hook up through the jacket loop to take some of the weight off the shoulders, or just hanging it up regularly. Goal is to prevent stretching out the leather at the shoulders over years of hanging (the dreaded “shoulder nipples). Mine’s fine.
    My two cents: IF your body type doesn’t fit well with off-the-rack size: spend the extra money to get a CUSTOM jacket that fits you and you will never regret it. (Hate having your sleeves too short when you reach forward to adjust the altimeter? Order longer sleeves. You’ll love it.) Spending hundreds of $$ on a standard, quality leather jacket that never quite fits right is a waste of that $$. (I’ve got an old US Wings G-1 hanging in my closet that was a complete waste of $ b/c I never wear it b/c it doesn’t fit well. Oh, come to think of it I’ve also got an old Avirex G-8 that I never wear for the same reason.) Spend a little more and have one that fits like a glove. Don’t be like me.
    By the way, this M422 version of the G-1 is by FAR my favorite iteration because of the M422 pockets. Look closely, they’re a bit more decorative on the flap, and I think they’re a bit larger than the other versions of the G-1 (if memory serves??). They’re absolute artistry. They’re also much larger than the A-2 pockets. (I also have a beautiful custom horsehide A-2 from US Authentic and my wallet is snug in the front pocket and my cell barely fits in the other. Ingress/egress of said personal items is made a tad more difficult by the added friction of the cotton pocket lining in the A-2 than the nylon of the G-1.) I have multiple vintage leather jackets, multiple flight jackets to include shearling versions, and multiple custom-made leather cowhide motorcycle jackets= my opinion is based on first-hand experience. My G-1 will outlast me and I give it five stars.
    Thank you Shaul Dover and all your crew at US Authentic! Ten year Review and going strong!

    This is quality.
    I got my jacket last year and from the onset I could tell that it was a well made product, but I didn’t appreciate it fully until a professional had a look at it. She was putting on my patches, and remarked from the feel of the leather that this was a well made jacket. She looked at the zipper and the lining, noting that they were top of the line components. After putting on my patches, she said that the jacket was well worth the price.
    I really liked the jacket when I first received it and after breaking it in over the past year, I customized it with a few patches from this company - flag and name tag, as well as two other patches from my career. It is truly my jacket now, and I really love it. As a retirement gift to myself, it serves as a wonderful piece of personal memorabilia.

    This is a full size jacket, and I would highly suggest that you contact Shaul to be sure of what you are ordering. He is very quick with his replies, and provides great advice.

    Flying Tigers jacket
    I brought my flying tigers G-1 jacket off the them about 10 years ago now, I wear it when I fly and it's still in great condition! It was worth every penny.
    The only advice I would give people is to go one size up from what you messure for a suit.
    Thanks guys, I love my iconic jacket, I have Taiwanese and Chinese people come up to me regularly to translate the writing on the back!
    People remember me at airports haha.
    Thanks again guys!

    G-1 Flight Jacket
    After wearing original one issued to me when serving in the Navy while attached to a fighter squadron, I eventually wore it out. Replaced cuffs and lining, but eventually leather started to deteriorate. So I just ordered a received a new one from Shaul and got it yesterday (1-4-2021). WOW! Fits true to size, and looks just like my old one from 50 years ago! Soft goatskin and heavy duty zipper just like original, with two-way pockets. Surprisingly warmer than I remember. Many thanks. Keep up the good work!!

    Exceptional Quality
    If I could give this review more than 5 stars, I would. It was shipped out in less than 24 hours after I placed my first order. The fit, quality and workmanship is second to none. Pricing is very competitive too. To top it off, I had the privilege of supporting an American owned business! Looking forward to my second order arriving soon!
