Can anyone ID Elvis' jacket?

From the knit collar and windflap it looks to be along the lines of a nylon flight jacket, with what seems to be a diamond quilted lining, but presumably issued to the US Army in the early 60's. Anyone?

civilian pprivate prchase tanker jacket. an homage to the ww2 tanker styled to reflect jacket preferences of the 50's/60s like L2's.
acceptable wear for anyone in an armoured formation whether a tanker or not and purchased eagerly as a sign of armoured status.
I have one in my garage waiting to have insignia replaced. It would be a giggle to add a presley name tape, I can source correctly printed ones.
