My 23rd fighter group tribute jacket

[pathdoc2]

I've always a 23rd fighter group jacket and actually found an original Blood Chit last year at a Dallas estate sale. 23rd FG patch by Miroshav Sukolich. Art work on back by Jennifer Thomas of Pennsylvania. Last pic show the jacket I used as inspiration. Not trying to make an exact copy but rather a tribute piece which will be a nice conversation piece.

Welcome to VLJ, by way of an introduction, why not post a bit about yourself here.

I like the artwork and patches. But, I would have used a jacket with a plain lining.

I also have an affinity with the 23FG.
That Cooper Special Edition was my very first A-2 about 2 decades ago

I agree. In retrospect I should have use a different lining.

Once again ..nicely done .
The blood chit on that jacket is an original one?

Yes it is. Belonged to the father of the lady I purchased it from. Unfortunately I've lost his name.
