    They're hard to find, and very cool. WWII Ike's with "fancy" stitching of patches. Chains, X's, and even A's, post some of your fancy stitched jackets!

    Here are two that I have/had in my collection as an example.

    A 14th Anti-Aircraft command Ike I used to have with "A" stitching.

    An Ike with both 7th and 3rd Army patches, each with a very unique dogtag chain stitched around the patch.

    Rusty,

    Here is a rather nice and not so common post war Japanese Occupation 11th Airborne Division 4 pocket uniform with a 511th Parachute Infantry shoulder patch for former wartime service, AKA "Combat Patch". Nice cross stitching on both 11th and 511th insignia.

    I have several others but this one here I was able to pull some old photos while I was looking for something else and I remembered your post.

    Best regards

    Smitty

    An amazing uniform! My grandad was in the 11th Airborne in Vietnam, nice to see an 11th uniform.

    Beautiful example Finngaill,

    Never ceases to amaze me the ingenuity of Soldiers and the pride they took in their uniforms and decorations.
