Hey! Finally.
Now you can put up the others. Some might be surprised to learn what that jacket is...

Avirex Co. 1984 A-2 Horsehide "MacArthur" Limited Edition. Some consider this style similar to Rough Wear.

This is a closeup of the "Flying Tigers" logo that I painted years ago.

This is my second purchase. It is a "Patton" style I purchased at an Army Surplus store. I paid $300 which was a lot back in 1987. Although it's not much use in Texas, I still love it.

Wow, that's a great old jacket. Very well-preserved. Looks almost new. Living in Texas at one time, I know how little use jackets there can get (and dried out). You did a beautiful job keeping it. What style number is this one?

There were no labels when purchased. I just call it my "Patton" jacket.
Cheers !
