Thread: Combat Stitching

I wanted a Blue Jean Jacket like I had when I was a kid. I stitched all these patches by hand.
I drew more blood doing this than I did when I was in Viet Nam. I'm still adding more as soon as my
fingers heal up.

Very nice! I see the “First Cav” patch. I would think a “2nd ID” Indian head patch would look nice on that too.

I am partial because I wore both those patches at one point or another in my time. Great looking jacket.

Nice! That's a lot of sewing.

I recognize the black cat patch near the center from my grandfather's scrapbook. It's a Tank Destroyer patch.

I had to hang up my patch jacket, won't button in the front anymore.

Cool jacket Freddie.
John you can counter that and get back in your jacket.

"SEABEES" patch dead center! Nice work Sir!
