    From what I have seen on line the issue order tells the date but I have see different orders to the numbers. Am I correct is this jacket from 1958?
    TIA, Bryan

    That's an order number, but maybe someone else knows. Can we see the rest of it?

    We usually like to see the whole thing plus tag, because anyone could reproduce a tag.

    Looks like the tag of a 1980s repop. But those sell okay too.

    The first Navy designation of "G-1" came under the 55J14 specification.

    The earlier jackets are generally considered to be of higher quality than the post-Vietnam era jackets as the earlier jackets were constructed of goatskin and had a real mouton collar. Current model issue jackets (although there are exceptions) are constructed of cowhide and have a synthetic collar.

    The makers of the Navy's jackets of the above specifications, in rough chronological order from the current supplier to pre-WWII include:

    • PHARR BRAND NAME APPAREL (2004-current supplier),
    • EXCELLED SHEEPSKIN & LEATHER COAT CO., 1999-2004,
    • SCHOTT BROS., INC., 1998,

    • FERGUSON OF OKLAHOMA, 1976,
    • IMPERIAL LEATHER & SPORTSWEAR INC., 1976,
    • IMPERIAL FASHIONS, INC., 1974,
    • THE MARTIN LANE CO., INC., 1968-1969,
    • GREGORY SPORTSWEAR INC., 1967,
    • IRVIN B. FOSTER SPTSWEAR CO., 1962-1963,
