EXCEPTIONAL USN WWII 1943 M422-A G1 flight jacket from Edmund T. Church CO. Inc. in very rare LARGEsize
This is a very rare USN WWII 1943 M-422A Edmund T. Church flight jacket in close to perfect condition. Contract #: No. NXs-5133 from 1943.


This jacket is for the vintage flight jacket collector and connoisseur who wears an actual size 42 or 44.

Size 42 label, but please check below the detailed measurements for correct fitting, as Church’s jackets fit a bit larger than the stated size. This jacket fits more like a 44.

If you wear a size 42/44, this jacket is the original WWII “dream” jacket you have been looking for and will be your daily wearer for many years to come.The jacket is in Paris, France, but I will ship internationally including the US, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, etc. at the actual international Colissimo shipping cost. For those destinations, insured shipping with tracking is ~$80, and around €35 for Europe.

Please note that I am trimming my collection so have a look at my other flight jackets listed on (G1, M422A, 7823, M-445,B3, B-15C, etc.). I will continue to list other collector’s items in the next 2 weeks including vintage squadron patches, flight helmets, flight suits, flight gloves, etc.More details about the jacket:

  • Overall construction: This jacket was perfectly constructed and assembled. There is no construction flaw.

  • The goatskin leather is gorgeous and in absolute perfect condition, with a very nice and rich light brown chocolate color.

  • The patina is extraordinary.

  • There is an area at the bottom of the left sleeve (in the back) which is a little bit dry, but nothing serious.

  • No patches: No patches / name tag were ever stitched to this jacket. There is no “ghost” stitch holes

  • Zipper:

    • Perfect condition original WWII Talon zipper; leather pull is recent and not original. Please note that I believe the zipper was replaced at some point in time as it is possible to see a few ghost stitches along the zipper.

    • Zipper box, insertion pin and tape are in perfect shape.

  • Collar:

    • I think the collar has been replaced with a NOS vintage mouton collar. It is in perfect condition and extremely soft to the touch

    • The mouton is in perfect condition, with no bald spot, and in a beautiful brown chocolate color.

  • Lining: The brown lining is in perfect condition.

  • Cuffs and waistband:

    • I believe both cuffs and waistband were professionally replaced with perfect reproduction of originals. The replacement work was done by the best expert in the world, and it is impossible to see they were replaced (absolutely not ghost stitch hole)

    • All the knits are in perfect condition. No hole. The material used is incredibly strong and will last decades.

  • Super nice “scalloped” pockets.

  • Label:

    • Edmund T. Church Co. Inc. label is present and in perfect condition

    • It is so perfect, I believe this might be a re-production; and again it is perfect

    Here are the detailed measurements:

    • Chest (between armpits - jacket zipped): 23 ½ inches / 60cm

    • Front length (top of zipper to bottom of zipper box): 23 ½ inches / 60cm

    • Sleeves length (shoulder seam to end of cuff): 26 inches / 66cm

    • Cuffs: 2 ⅛ inches / 5.9cm

    • Shoulders (straight across back at sleeve juncture): 20 inches / 50cm

    • Back length (base of collar to bottom of waistband): 25 ½ inches / 65cm

    Let me know if you have any questions .

    Please note that I will NOT accept returns as I did my best to capture every detail in the item description and through multiple pictures.
