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

Remind us, what jacket is that? Looks awesome!

Greg, the elevator needs to have a mirror though. Otherwise the "short arms effect" will not go away!

The Few Monarch AN-J3a. Haven't worn that in a long time.

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!

Today my day off and I gave my B-15A to my tailor to sew a patch.
Without tailors help, it is possible only manually through the top, as also on B-10 too.
The tailor opened inner pocket, through it penetrated the lining, opened it, then sewn the patch on the shell and sewed everything in the reverse order. So inner pocket working.The result is excellent, a photo bit later.

Very nice jacket!

patch, IMO, should be sewn through, as the originals. That shell thing is too delicate for a military jkt.

This shell is OK and I don't think that in the 40's they sewed the patch through the lining, thus deactivating the inner pocket. People in all times could sew, by hands or by mashine.

I did it both ways - sewn one by hand without closing the inner pocket (was pain in the a...e) and a 2nd one by my tailor which was less than 5.- Euro also with a still working pocket

 

[Flightengineer]

Well, I paid today 8 (if converted it in euro).

Defo suits you and it’s a cracking fitting jacket

 

[B-Man2]

Looks outstanding!
But you’re going to need an elevator with a mirror if you’re going to keep on posting like this. That hallway is a little too dark.

 

[Earloffunk]

Thanks! Yeah, you’re right. I am working on the elevator... the alternative to the hallway pics is bathroom pics... which one do you prefer? :-/

 

[B-Man2]

That depends on what your doing in the bathroom while you taking the pixs!
No seated shots !! Pleaseee!!

 

[Earloffunk]

Damn - you can read my thoughts! Fun killer!
