This item has been sold. Vintage Dobbs Industries MA-1 MIL-J-8279B Jacket Price: $300.00 (vintage used condition) — note shipping costs below Fit: this pattern is a comfortable short torso fit in the correct size Patches: 116th Intercept Fighter Squadron, Air Defense Command, Namd Tag Size: X-Large This jacket was made by Dobbs Industries in 1959. The company would later be called Alpha Industries, a massive military clothing contractor. The jacket was owned by Dick Rogers, a navigator in the 116th Fighter Squadron, based in Washington state (more here on the unit). We don't have any information on Mr. Rogers at this time. The jacket is well worn, and has some wear-related soiling and nitro-fade as seen on many sage green nylon jackets. The shell is solid, but there's a small run on the wearer's right sleeve around the elbow. The lining is fantastic. The wool/cotton batting is from the era when it was very heavy and thick, which makes the jacket quite warm. The knits have many holes, but we didn't see a reason to replace them at this point. The zipper works just fine. The jacket has no odors, other than the smell of the nylon and batting, which is pleasant. The jacket has somewhat short torso fit, and will look great on a person with these dimensions: 5'09" to 5'11" (175cm to 180.5cm) and have a 43-45" (109.5cm to 114.5cm) chest. Please let us know your dimensions (height, weight, and chest circumference), and we will know how well this one should fit. « Return  Jacket dimensions:  Front along zipper 22"  Front chest under arms 27"  Back width under arms 27"  Back height 25"  Shoulder width 20.25"  Sleeves, from shoulder to end of cuff 25.5" Vintage Dobbs Industries MA-1 MIL-J-8279B Jacket Price: $300.00 (vintage used condition) — note shipping costs below Fit: this pattern is a comfortable short torso fit in the correct size Patches: 116th Intercept Fighter Squadron, Air Defense Command, Namd Tag Size: X-Large Payment Payment can be made either by credit card, check, or using PayPal.com, with our moniker of info@goodwearleather.com.
