The lineage of this U.S. Navy and Marine Corps summer flight jacket reaches back to mid-WWII with the AN-J-2/Spec. AN-6551 design. Slightly modified immediately after the war, it evolved into M-716/Spec. MIL-J-7758A and remained in service well into the late 1950s, with some examples still in use into the 1960s. Even though the model designation changed almost annually—M-421, AN6551, AN-J-2, M-716, J-7758—the jacket’s unlined, single-layer construction of tightly woven khaki cotton remained largely the same. This lightweight “windbreaker” style was prized for providing just enough protection in warm climates while offering ample pocket space for an aviator’s essentials.

The J-7758A, issued from 1952 to 1959, retained its designation the longest among these closely related models, while variations such as the four-pocket AN6551, AN-J-2, and later J-7758B introduced in 1961 displayed only minor updates—pocket detailing, collars, and so on—following a pattern established by the M-421 and M-421A series during WWII.

For this MIL-J-7758A by REAL MCOY MFG. CO., special attention has been paid to capturing the silhouette and details that made the original jackets so iconic. For durability, comfort, and authenticity in finishing, the jacket is constructed from cotton twill fabric and features a 50s Oval-Shaped Front Zipper. Specially developed cotton sewing thread is used throughout.
