Well this is certainly a new one for me. The classic L-2B we are all very familiar with, and this particular USAF issued example is from 1977. But it's the patch work on this that really stands out. It features both a large custom sewn back patch, this appears to be of a variety made in Thailand, and a small 357th FS patch on the front. Whilst I can't be certain, I would guess this is either a competition jacket made for the William Tell in the late 70s-early 80s, or a jacket owned by a 357th TFS pilot who served in Thailand during the Vietnam war and he attached the front patch later. Either way, a very rare and very cool piece.
Condition
Excellent condition, a couple of tiny nips in the cuffs but nothing major.
