Item Description
The jacket's leather body is in excellent condition. It's original mouton fur collar & heavy-duty main zipper are still intact. It sports a U.S.N. (United States Navy) perforation on its wind flap. There have been no repairs, manipulations, patches sewn in, or deviations whatsoever to the item. This particular model was made popular by the motion picture "Top Gun" starring Tom Cruise. This vintage & collector's item's date of manufacture is circa 1966 wherein the previous owner was a war veteran who had the chance to acquire this while he was still living.
