Greetings all,

I was wondering how close a match the US Tankers Bomber Jacket is to that worn by the USN?

I waa thinking of converting some tankers I have to USN personnel and was wondering how close a match the Jackets were?

They look pretty similar to me!! LOL, LOL Would they have been a buff colour?

Any thoguhts?

Cheers

Are you talking about the khaki jacket the chiefs, officers and other dilettantes wear? Or the manly, robust P-coat worn by our hale & hearty enlisted mariners?
