📖 Description:
This vintage G-III bomber jacket is a military-inspired leather piece with authentic flight patches and a striking cartographic lining. The leather has developed heavy patina and creasing over time, showcasing age and character. The ribbed cuffs and waistband retain some elasticity, and the patches add strong visual appeal. The lining, marked “Made in Korea,” highlights G-III’s overseas production during the late 20th century.
