USN Intermediate Flyers Jacket

USN Intermediate Flyer's Jacket

Picked this up in a thrift store today for $10 along with 30 pieces of Oneida USA flatware for $5. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. Not a huge score, but not bad for killing an hour waiting to pick up my daughter from class.

I bought one of those a couple years ago & sold it on eBay for $80 & change. I'd buy every one I could find for $10 if they were in decent shape.

Yep, in good condition. I was going to but it for myself, but it's too small. It's a 42. It should get between 60-90.

Great find! Any Genuine leather bomber jacket is good, vintage is better, classic well made brands are best. I sold a Cooper A2 for $175 once and a couple random ones for $50, I have an Orvis and a Schott waiting in the wings that should each bring at least $150 each.

Check my late uncle's early 1960s USN flight jacket.

I've got one that belonged to my dad who was a Navy pilot. Unfortunately he liberated it from supply right before he retired so it's not one he wore a lot. Mint condition & I'd never sell it but it doesn't have quite as much sentimental value. I also have one of the Vietnam era green nylon flight jackets that he wore in the service.

Gib - is "USN" perforated on the zipper flap? Just curious because I have one.

Yes it is.

I have yet to run across a military bomber jacket in the wild. Closest I ever found was a brown leather Members Only jacket from the 80's, lol.

Hah! I'd be happy if I found half the cool stuff you do.
