I still have both of my flight jackets from 1963-1968. They both still fit, and I still wear both of them occasionally. Neither meets your description.
One is the classic Navy issue G-1 brown leather jacket, with mouton fur collar. The other is a green nylon jacket with green lining, which was also used with the high altitude pressure suit. It was always described as green. Had anyone suggested that it was "sage," he would undoubtedly have suffered a great amount of abuse. I also can't image giving flight crews jackets with orange lining to use in combat situations.
