Contract from 1979: "JACKET, FLYER'S, LIGHTWEIGHT, NOMEX" for U.S. Army pilots.

This is a lightweight flight jacket issued to pilots and flight crews of the Army Air Forces.The label confirms that this is item DLA100-79-C-3934, manufactured by Greenbrier Industries, Inc., and made of 100% nylon (non-melting).

The appeal of this series lies in its distinctly Army-like appearance, unified in olive drab (OD) color—a look that sets it apart from Air Force flight jackets.With its simple construction—featuring a large collar, diagonally placed hand pockets, a utility pocket on the left sleeve, and ribbed cuffs and hem—it’s a design that, while flight wear, is very easy to incorporate into everyday attire.

The size is listed as LARGE-LONG. With a chest measurement of 41–45 inches and a height of 71 inches or more, this is a generously sized jacket. It offers an interesting size balance for those who prefer a relaxed fit in vintage flight jackets.

As this is a used item, it shows signs of wear and slight sun fading, but is in good overall condition. Please note that the tape on the front zipper is torn, so some care is needed when opening and closing it. This can be fixed by sewing the tape back in place. Including these signs of aging—which are characteristic of practical, everyday items—this jacket lets you fully enjoy the authentic atmosphere of 1970s Army Air Forces gear.

Condition: Used / Signs of wear, slight sun fading, tear in the front zipper tape
