This listing is for a Pre-World War 2 Aviation Cadet slate blue jacket that does not show up on the market very often.
This jacket was made specifically for Aviation Cadets that were training in the US Army to become pilots and was worn from the late 1920's to approximately 1940. The use of this jacket was eliminated when the number of Aviation Cadets was too great to keep up with by the manufacturer. The number of pilots prior to the beginning of World War 2 was extremely small and very few of these jackets were produced.
This jacket is named: O. D. STUCKEY 624 7397
The tag in the pocket shows that it was inspected by J J HASSON on March 24, 1930 (The year is blurry and I may have read it wrong)
There is a cutter tag in the collar of this jacket showing the size to be 38L. The presence of the cutter tag indicates that this jacket has seen very little use and has probably never been laundered.
The issues with this jacket are minimal. The liner has the most issues with some fraying and minor separations but they can not be seen under normal conditions. The back of the jacket has some a few small white marks that look like it has brushed against something like chalk. This white substance will not brush off but I haven't tried to wash it because I didn't want to take the chance of damaging the jacket. I did notice a couple of moth nips on the back of the jacket but they are tiny.
This jacket will display quite well. If you collect uniforms then it will be hard to upgrade on this jacket. There weren't many made and most were discarded when the Cadet left the program.
