A real presence is a piece like this.
This is a vintage G-1 flight jacket with the " HMM-362 UGLY ANGELS (362nd Medium Helicopter Squadron)" patch sewn on the chest and sleeves, a unit from the U.S. Marine Corps' history. The label is by RALPH EDWARDS SPORTSWEAR, size 40, and although the tag is worn and hard to read, it is a rare piece that appears to have been manufactured in the 1960s or early 1970s.
The "UGLY ANGELS" patch on the chest can be confirmed to be from the **Vietnam War Era (VIETNAM 1968)**, and the finish is very powerful, as if it boasts of actual combat participation at the time. The HMM-362 unit insignia is also sewn on the left sleeve, which tells that the unit was an elite unit that carried out transport and support missions using large helicopters such as the CH-46 and CH-53 Sea Stallion.
In addition, the handwritten marking of the individual's name remains on the back, proving that it was indeed "used in actual combat," a piece of clothing filled with reality and romance. Overall, there are some signs of use, such as minor scratches and tears on the zipper straps, but these are the "story" of this jacket, giving it a unique value. The ribs are in excellent condition, and the practicality of this jacket for everyday wear is perfect.
Wearing this G-1 is more than just a fashion statement, it is an act of inheriting history and soul. This is an excellent item for collectors and true military fans to wear. This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
