Irvin B. Foster MIL-J-7823B G-1 Jacket
Price: $429.00 (lightly used condition) — note shipping costs below
Fit: comfortable fit in the right size
Leather: chrome tanned dark seal brown goatskin
Lining: green-brown nylon
Mouton: reddish brown mouton
Knits: excellent rib-rack waistband and cuffs
Zipper: blackened brass No.10 Conmar
Size: 44

This is a superb example of a 1963 G-1 jacket. The condition is near-mint, and it's all original. The jacket doesn't have any known history, and has never had any patches or name tags sewn on it. Irvin B. Foster was a profic 1960s G-1 maker, and he was the brother of Lou (L.W.) Foster. Through a family split, Irvin's division of the company began to make G-1s in the early 1960s.

The goatskin is quite comfortable, and the mouton is amazing (with a reddish tone). The knits are excellent with no holes, and the lining also has no holes, and it clean. The zipper works great. Note how the zipper is sewn short at the bottom—this is common for this contract. The B series of G-1s are the last jackets to have blackened Conmars. The shoulders are very square, which looks great.

This jacket will ideally fit a person who is 5'10" to 6'1", with a chest circumference of 42-44", and weight of 175-205 pounds.
