What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Cocker]

I think I was kinda trown off by how "long" it looks on the first pictures my girlfriend took, plus I still feel it a bit on the baggy side, especially the shoulders. I tried it yesterday with a thick sweater under it for winter, and it will do just fine!

 

[B-Man2]

I think the jacket looks good on you.

 

[Thomas Koehle]

They are new Desert boots and not repro as such.

Was referring to the black ones ...

Second that!

The jacket definitely looks cool

 

[Cocker]

Thanks guys! Now, to patch or not to patch?

 

[Earloffunk]

no patch!

Sorry, they are repro 36 pattern RAF boots by Lewis Leathers.

Up to you Cèdric, patching and painting seem to be a very subjective thing. I'm thinking of stencilling one of my B-10s with maybe a 352nd FG badge, either 486th or 487th maybe.

Definitely don't get rid of that B-10 it really is a fantastic fit, there's absolutely nothing even remotely close to being wrong with it.

Definitely patch her!

If you are finally not satisfied you can easily remove the patche/patches afterwards

 

[Steve27752]

No patch, removal leaves a lot of stitch marks.

If you’re going to hang on to it , patch away. If you even think that you might want to sell it in the future leave it alone. They just down sell as easily once they’re patched

 

[Greg Gale]

If it was mine, I'd put a 487th patch on it

 

[Flightengineer]

Cool jacket.
Patch!

 

[Brettafett]

Patch! And paint something on the back..
When I finally get my hands on a Bob Dong, I have a great idea to paint on the back....

 

[Flightengineer]

Today I finally got my embroidered patch 41st TCS for my B-15A.
It remains to sew it on the jacket.

 

[Cocker]

I'm looking at either a 486th Fighter Squadron or a 587th Bomb Squadron patch. I'm wondering how the patch on the chest can be sewn on without sewing the inside pocket shut, though!

 

[Flightengineer]

Sewing above inner pocket placement.
I looked a lot of photos of original jackets and realized that most of the patches were sewn higher (on the B-15 atop the left side mask tab) or much lower, but apparently manually to not sew inner pocket.

... I have yet to find an elevator where I can take my pictures... We have one at the office but without mirror.

 

[Earloffunk]

Fresh air is absolutely being underestimated!

 

[Greg Gale]

See, elevators are necessary, because none of us have long enough arms or wide enough lenses to display the jacket entirely
