I forgot to write this, but what do you guys think, should i order some reproduction BGS patches to be made by a tailor or company and put them on the jacket where they belong?
-
The arm pocket is for holding pens, pencils. These are getting harder and harder to find as many where used in airsoft/paintball.
Thats a good price these are usually are 50/75us if you can find one.
From the tag i believe it dates from 1971.

I have one also. I think it's a very under rated jacket really. I like them. You should be able to obtain original patches, be much better to have those re-applied than repro pieces. There is a BGS thread worth checking out.

Quite right and for that price this is a bargain. Prices in Europe are considerably higher.
You are fortunate because many of these had the sleeve pocket cut off when sold as surplus rather than just the patches.
Don't try to get repro patches they will look dreadful!
Originals are not that hard to find on Ebay.de for reasonable prices, just make sure you get the correct type for the jacket as they are different for different garments such as shirt or overcoat, tunic etc.
There is a good thread here;
BGS Thread
where you can see some excellent jackets and other gear, post #228 has a good one!
Be careful though as BGS stuff does become a bit addictive.
