The jacket is based on the real jacket worn by Lucian King Truscott during ww2,Avirex,G8,Cockpit that hurt,man

Heh, sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I think US Wings made one too.

So where are Truscott's epaulettes?

I opted out,the General stars look kinda whacky,especially if you arent one

I will get some comparison pics of mine and the original

The jacket was made by Mars leathers in Melbourne
