USMC Flight Jackets

An Uncle of mine was in the USMC from 1980 to 1987 as a crew member on a c-130. He mentioned having lost his flight jacket from said period of service, I would like to know what the issue jacket was at the time. The only other details that I have are that it was nylon and winter issue. Any information is greatly appreciated.
 
The winter nomex (not nylon) flight jacket is the CWU-45P. Can't say for sure that's what your uncle was issued, but it's been the standard for a while.
 
Winter and summer nomex (1 each) jackets where the standard issue. Aircrew Candidate School also issued us the G1 leather jacket.

Are you looking to buy a replacement? If so I would go to EBay to get a good deal, there are plenty of ones there in varying condition and you can get some decent deals. If you get one from a retailer they are usually way overpriced.

Alternatively, if you don't need Nomex, there are a few retailers who make them in other materials for much less.
