US Navy 1963 Winter Flying "WEP" Jacket - Very good Condition There is a little light

There is a little light fading to the wool

It comes in great condition - it might look like rust but the brown colour is the original copper paint that is usually worn off

Another beautiful Reliance Big Yank piece to share

but largely excellent

US Navy 1963 Winter Flying "WEP" Jacket - Very good Condition There is a little lightThe WEP Jacket was first ordered in the very late 1950s, infact before the Bureau of Aeronautics (AER) became the Bureau of Weapons (WEP) from which the WEP jacket takes its name. The example was ordered in 1963 made by Aviator Equipment Corp. It's named to a TH Ross, who I haven't found much info on, but he was the commander of VP 16 from 1968 69. Condition Seemingly lightly used and excellent shape. Some light wear to one cuff and a tiny hole
