Catch 22 A-2 jacket up on ebay was used in film

If this jacket was used in such a famous movie then the BIN is reasonable but I don't remember seeing any painted jackets in the movie but it's been a while since I watched it. Can anyone come up with a still with the jacket pictured ? I notice that the seller couldn't.

Nahh-the patch is of Heller's unit, yes, upon which Catch-22 was based, but the film A-2's had painted canvas patches and were far less colourful-Ken Calder said he had several pass through his hands in the days of The Thrift Store. Still a desirable jacket, but I don't think it was used in the film.

I agree with you here. Perhaps someone should ask the seller to back up the claim it was used in Catch 22 with some proof.

Hi! I've found these pics on the internet. Actually the patches seem to be sewed.
