1940s Locked and Loaded Lieutenant Leather Jacket | Vintage 40s Brown Hide Belted Back G1 Flight Coat w/US Navy Patches | Size 48 Large XL

This piece of wearable history will have you locked and loaded and ready for action! Worn by a Lieutenant in the US Navy, the truly incredible patches give us a glimpse into his life while also being a decorative element that begs for closer inspections. This G-1 military issue leather jacket itself dates to the late 30's/early 40's and the patches tell a story of action through the decades! We know the Lake Champlain launched in 1944 and the Helantisubron Five started in 1956 - glad to see he survived WWII and continued service! The embroidery and characters on the patches are so skillful and full of personality - from the angry cat to Satan puppeteering a bomber, and on the other arm an attacking eagle over an aircraft carrier and an octopus breaking apart a submarine! 'USN" stamped behind the collar. The leather is walnut brown with a wonderful patina and supple feel and zips up with bell pull metal "Talon" zipper with sunburst stopbox. It has a golden fawn sheepskin collar and wool knit make up the cuffs and most of the waistband. Stylish and functional with its belted action back and large buttoning flap pockets. Fully lined. This jacket is in great vintage condition, some wear to the knit and collar and small holes in the lining, no other holes, stains, or odors to note.
