I would like to buy a G-1 jacket (the one with the "fur" ;-) There are a
variety of vendors (Avirex, Sporty's,...) on the market offering this items.
Is there one vendor that is considered producing the "original" G-1? Or one
that supply's the armed forces? Or one that is simply outstanding in terms
of "historical correctness" or quality?

I bought one a while back from U.S. Wings, it actually has added
side-entry handwarmer pockets. A friend of mine, who is a Naval Aviator,
told me me likes mine better than the original because of that. With or
without, that is one kick-ass jacket!

You can get it he http://www.uswings.com/g-1.asp, scroll down to
"US Coast Guard Goatskin G-1".
