Re: US AAC M-1926 Direct Embroidered Tunic
Actually I think that is the definition of exceptional. Direct embroidered uniforms are far from common and this one is exceptionally well done. Could you possibly show the interior lining details and the back side of the embroidery? Also any makers label would be really nice as well. Phillipine made aviation uniforms from that era are rare in my experience, to be honest I think they are rare from almost anywhere at that particular time, and I would love to see more details.
Cheers

Hi Major,
Thanks for the further pictures. The liner I was speaking of is the reinforcing they would put around the armpit area and the bottom vent of the skirt, also sometimes down the back of the button side. I have seen very nice cotton poplin like I believe yours has and even boiled wool. Silk was also occasionally used on the real high end jackets.
Once again that is a beautiful jacket!
Cheers
Gary
